I'm going to be voting no for sailing. I've been a player for ~10 years and the release of the 07 servers were the best thing since actually playing it first time round. I understand all the BIS and high end content will have separate polls and be decided on by the community, but I don't really trust the community has enough true old school players left. It's already getting confusing with new content added so regularly, having a job to keep up to date. I like the game as it is currently, or should I say as it was back in 07.. :)

Although I was a bit sceptical of a new skill at first I must admit that after reading this thread I have been persuaded to vote yes for Sailing. It seems to have a great reward system, and incorporates many skills into it. It's also nice that so many players are already in favour of it.

Ok I'm really hyped but im noticing that in polls a good amount of players in saying no, the reason for this is the ring of death, I myself im 100% against that ring, i know its an onyx sink to keep fury and other stuff pricy and to fight off the increased entry of onyxes from zulrah, but it shouldnt have such an effect, then bossing would become super easy, why not boost def/accuracy/str while at 10% against npcs? and it should deteriorate after some time and then ull need another onyx to use it. (still adds nice bonuses passively when not below 10% hp). Full heal is way too much, also all those regen necklaces, take out the regen and everyone is happy.

Changed my mind.

I wrote a text accepting this idea and i just read it over and turns out the only reason i wanted sailing has NOTHING to do with sailing.. I just want those extra add ons that will come along with it.

They said on a stream that there were things lacking in the game and this is a chance to add those things. Why not just add those items/concepts and stop pretending you need a "skill" in order to do so.

This is oldschool. Just give us what we loved about the game and we will be happy. Our old minigames, for example.. Dungeoneering.. anything that people loved back then, just work on those. Once it's time for something new, that's where zeah comes in and then, after that, maybe look back into this concept.

Sailing to me is just a skill to train all skills...Idk if this is the right path for Osrs. I feel like the community has never showed much love for this concept yet you guys just wont let it go.

I appreciate the effort, really, but it seems like a waste.

Shame...

The reason why people is voting no is because of the ring of death and the regen on the new necklaces, that will crash the price of sgs and guthans!! thats why everyone who owns the 2 major regen items in rs is voting no
