Oh wow, I can only see this ending 2 ways.. Hated by all not MAXED, but tolerable since we don't want to have our 2 years+ playing OSRS to go to WASTE AGAIN... Oooor RIP OSRS 2016! I knew OSRS was too good to be true.

I can see another possible way for it to go. The skill being liked by the majority and the player base growing as a result. The skill could be a lot of fun and enjoyed by a majority of players especially if players give feedback to improve the idea before it is made.

I see a lot of potential in this skill.

I have a lot of ideas which I think would make the skill fun.

I'd like to fish from my ship in the ocean, explore, trade in different ports and try to make a profit, hunt down NPC pirate ships, skeleton crew ships, ghost ships, dive for sunken treasure from ships that were lost at sea, try diplomacy on new islands, watch youtube videos of PVP wars in the wilderness seas, find new plants, herbs, trees, fruits, fish, ores, gems, monsters, and more while visiting new areas.

I personally would like to be able to travel to old and new areas in my own ship, and use the main map, with some instanced areas and random events.

ok..we already passed a poll that we want a new skill..so wt* ? and I was under the impression that summoning and dung will NEVER be in osrs..at least i'm hoping.

.alot are crying for them to re vamp our old skills..
and it does seem that a new skill will at least attempt to accomplish that ..
IF we let them..
there are things in sailing that can help many old skills..
construction..wc..**.(.new things to burn, light).
.the possibilities are endless..

.perhaps jagex ..maybe you should let the community help with some player delvelped ideas.

.but I think this sailing skill could help perk up all the other skills as well.

.sometimes I think letting the community decide things is almost a bad thing.
.seems they don't always seem to have an open mind or patience in what it takes to develop a new skill..

but yes OS..WE DID vote YES on a NEW skill.
.NOT summoning and dung..(which I hated sum and dung anyways just saying)..

so my point is is ...Suck it up and allow the game to develop..WE DID..after all vote YES to a new skill after all...

.sailing could turn out to be awesome if we give it a chance.

.the possibilities are there!

I think it would be interesting to see but it really depends on how the sailing part works and how you would be training it, if it's another skill you have to buy like construction I wouldn't want it, mostly because I don't find skills like that enjoyable, and I highly disagree with the pvp aspect of it, if it were say fighting off npc pirates randomly in the hopes of stealing their loot with the risk of losing your own I could see myself enjoying that, but as far as fighting other player and up to five at a time I think that would make it feel more like a mini-game than a skill.

I also don't like the PVP part being integrated into a new skill beause PVP should NEVER be a mandatatory in allowing a skill to progress.

.however..while you are sailing..if a pirate ship or a rogue band of mermaids ( or mer MEN..haha yes I like..) were to attack you or get in your way..maybe it could be like a random or something that you could choose to interact with or choose to go around.

.but I for one..do not think it would be a fair thing for us to have to worry about being attacked pvp while skilling on sailing.... or any other skill for that matter.

.if you still choose to do that jagex..then maybe it would be ok as long as there was still a way for me to get to my destination and stay out of the wilderness waters

Definite Potential. Perhaps having a PvP area similar to the wild currently. I definitely don't want open PvP in the full area since that would take a lot of the fun out. These "wild" areas will need to have better resource and islands to make up for this potential of being attacked.

gosh the more I think about it the more I like the possibilities..

getting attacked by mermaids could find yourself with a mermaid tail to wear or sell..
battling pirates ..maybe a pegleg or something piratey..lol
maybe even some new rares or just some fun pieces.
.idk..there are so many possibilities...

we could have FUN..not the same ole boring stuff day after day..what the heck..lets shake it up a little and have a little fun..come on peeps.. wheres your sense of adventure? at least have an open mind and give it a chance..if you don't like it...don't train it?

people don't take the old school thing so literally..

it didn't mean that we'd never have updates and new content.

.it just promised us we'd never end up with eoc..

so what the heck are the cries for summoning and dung about? NO..that would lead you to eoc..

NEw content is definitely not a bad thing..

.as far as rs3 is concened..WE DO NOT want rs3 skills..we want different things..

content that is different..

exclusive to os..not rewarmed leftovers from rs3...

we want new stuff...not rs3s old skills..

we are now completely separate from rs3.....just like we wanted it!

summoning and dung. would definitely lead us down the path to rs3..people!!!

We the people ...voted yes to a new skill..

so ok....lets do it.

.whats there to be afraid of trying a new skill?

I am hyped and hope this gets voted in to at least try it..

now what would be cool would be if there were a way to make the skill temporary so people could try it.....such as a beta has been suggested...

.if that's not possible..i say lets take a chance..it might be awesome..
