I could vote on my other two accounts except I wasn't sure if Jagex would see that as trying to rig the outcome of the poll, so I only voted on this account, but I would play it on three accounts most likely if Sailing were added to OSRS. Hi.

75% for voting is way too much, 2/3 of votes should be better because 66 or 67 % of the people want it. 3/4 is way too much. people playing osrs and don't want updates think the time is paused. Guys we need updates else the game will bleed till death. i really hope the skill will be added to the game. Why no new skill when you guys vote yes on new bosses? That isn't really osrs isn't it? Jagex you should make a "test" till a certain level and then let people vote, so they know what they're voting for. i'm sure it will pass!!!

question: is sailing gonna happen what was the results 68% is good in my honest opinion i think its perfect its double the amount of people who said no to it. so i believe sailing should still be released

sailing sounds like a good opportunity for oldschool runescape to add alot more content into the game i always loved the aspect of exploring in runescape thats what made runescape, runescape, and now hearing about the sailing skill i was so pumped it felt like i was 10 years old again and playing it for the first time.

if sailing isn't released im most likely gonna be sorely disappointed it has so much going for it, i still cant believe how many people actually said no to this its a brilliant idea

IF ANYONE can give me a link or something where i can keep track of the updates involving sailing please reply to this message

"S l o w .... D o w n ......

Dear Jagex, (or whoever you are, now )...

You started off with the right idea, Exploration and Adventure. Randomized challenges and unpredictable ventures through the oceans of runescape...

HERE is what you are OVERLOOKING....


1. New content WILL get voted in. IF YOU DEVELOP IT, it will become part of the game. Polls will be almost irrelevant.


2. This is the SKILL of SAILING. You are creating, in Runescape, the definitions and parameters of the training process and meaning of expertise and mastery in SAILING.

{ You must focus on this BEFORE you get lost in designing gold hull plating, runite cannons, and mahogany storage chests.... }


3. Rewards and Unlocks

Everything listed here, gems, new dragons and dragon weapons, new implings, new bracelets, new this, new that. All of these completely disregard sailing, and have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Do NOT spend your time "working on the sailing skill", by desinging, polling, and tinkering with items that are for crafting, hunting, magic, ranging, and EVERY OTHER SKILL EXCEPT FOR SAILING.


.........

If you truly want to make a unique, enjoyable, fun, successful, and inspiring game. You must take one thing at a time.

Sailing around the seas, bug-free, with randomized events. Now THAT IS a good first goal. Disregarding the mainland and all it's troublesome worries of economics and weapons, battles and wars, disputes and current political issues, in search of new land and a new life... are these escapes not some of the most fundamental reasons for humanity to set sail?

EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE.

.......

just please focus on the experience of actually playing the game, rather than disrupting the balance of combat, skills, and economics beyond what you are capable of repairing. Or you really will run "your" game into the ground, instead of the water...."

I voted no. I want a new skill and sailing seems pretty nifty, but I don't like sailing as a skill. My opinion is that it would be a nice update to construction - new things to build for xp, selling / trading boats for profit, and the sailing / exploration part as a result of what you have constructed.
I do hope it gets added to the game as an activity / skill update, but not as its own skill.
I also hope they re-do the player skill design contest and maybe showcase a few more ideas.

I'm a veteran player myself and I have always, mostly, enjoyed all the updates and changes the game brings! :)
