Seeing as I can't edit my original post...

I have mixed feelings about the Sailing skill. The skill itself appears to incorporate mechanics taken from a variety of existing skills, rather than a specific type of skill. The scope of Sailing also appears to be highly ambitious with new regions, monsters, and assets encountered. I dislike the idea of Pvp content being integral to a skill as well. Many high level skillers are ambivalent towards Pvp and being forced to participate in it would be undesirable for many of us.

It does sound interesting though and I'm curious how the community as a whole will perceive it.

Has the team considered polling a Dungeoneering/Raiding type skill instead?

No one will "force" anyone to participate in PvP. It says "dangerous waters" meaning that you will be able to avoid it. Plus, I'm sure there will be other ways to gain XP in the skill.

Every time the Sailing skill has ever been mentioned by the community before now it's been as a joke. This update...is a joke. Sailing is a mistake and you're going to ruin the XP rates of current skills with the release. There's a reason this was a past April fool's joke...keep it a joke.

Perhaps make it a minigame closer to player owned ports instead?

Honestly I think this would be a great idea. OSRS needs some newer content and I think this could have some potential if done right. Some people don't seem to understand that if the game never gets any major new content added, it will go stale really quickly. This could definitely give something new to the game and I can also see how it could tie into more newer future content among other things.
