I like the sound of this update. If done right, and if aided by ideas by the creativity of the community, this could be a massive success. Keep these Dev Blogs coming, with more information and answered questions please. Also, if this fails the poll, will we still be getting 2 more developers in old school?

On the day of the Dev blog, Jagex put up the "Content Developer" job on the jagex careers page. This job description was different to all the others, it specifically mentioned "we need 2 new developers to join our team".

After around 24 hours of seeing the players negative backlash towards Sailing, the job disappeared from the careers page jobs listing. Now maybe that position got filled. Maybe. But it is more likely it was removed due to the negativity sailing got. The original post by Mod Ronan stated that if Sailing passed, they will hire 2 new content developers, and sailing would be released around jan 2016 and zeah around the summer of 2016.

The job id was 1143. The page now states "Job Not Found". 1144 works fine though.

I dont think we will be getting the 2 new content developers sadly. I may be totally wrong. I am just going by the evidence that i saw.

And to all of the people claiming that nothing should be added to "OSRS" because the word old school is in it? people wanted osrs to have that old school feeling of playing runescape 2 back in the day. I personally do not think that adding new content to an "old school" game will instantly make it not "old school" anymore. Its just old school with new cone**, lol. Plus, consider the fact if it werent for new skills, and/or updates then there would probably not be enough people playing the game to keep it going. People will eventually get bored with it and move on...

My suggestion is to have only one skill: Raiding and it would include both Sea raiding (Sailing) and Dungeon raiding (Dungeoneering). Maybe later even Land raiding (Villages) with RTS elements.

For Sailing part you would simply use woodcutting, smithing, construction and crafting to build ships - not sailing skill. Dungeoneering would have adjusted rewards for OSRS but only yield Raiding skill XP.
