I think most people should stop being immature about it and let the game develop how it does, if in a few months time, most of the community hate the new skill, then it can be removed, but I guarantee most people will enjoy the skill, or just avoid it what so ever. Long story short, we can vote it out if it is hated in the long run.

I wouldn't have anything negative to say about updates like these if they'd just change the name from Oldschool to something else as to not be, essentially, scamming people into believing it's something that it is not. "Old School" is a name, not some sort of code that many have lead themselves to believe.

It was a perfect name for the game when Oldschool came out.
It was a oldschool 2007 version of the game, no crazy weird new stuff.
If anything some things were missing because of corrupted or lost data and bugs.


Now, it is no longer it's name.

Would you rather let the game die a quick death; or a slow fruitful one in which we can enjoy for many more years hopefully. Face the facts: If there is no new content the game will die fast.

I don't care what happens to the game.
Take all the change that you want.

I'm just asking for even more change.
Change the name to not be a lie.

i like how we're forced to get a new skill. to all those who dont want a new skill be sure to open up your throats because it will get crammed down them

Nothing is FORCED onto us. EVERYTHING in Old School RuneScape has to pass a poll by ATLEAST 75% votes for it to be implemented into the game. If the new skill does pass, don't complain, cry and/or whine about it. Simply don't train it and shut the hell up. Simple as that. Have a nice day. =)

THIS. For all complaining. Plus old school would die with no new content. And as long as the content is fun/beneficial, what's the problem.. The game still and always will have that old school feel & nostalgia, which is what we all really want..

The skill I would like to see added to the game would be Engineering. It would require materials that would either be dropped by npc's or from mining and smithing. These materials could be used to create gadgets or armor/weapon modifications. Some of the gadgets could include: transportable stations such as, cooking, crafting, alter, smithing, runecrafting (one type per rune), construction, brewing, and banking. Theses stations would be degradable by use and would require more materials for repair and could only be repaired so many times.

As for armors/weapons, you could add modifications that would add bonus stats. Once you add a material to an armor/weapon it would become permanent and possibly non-tradable. These too would be degradable and would require repairs over use and time. Once an item becomes too damaged the armor/weapon cannot be repaired and is useless. New armor would be required to add different modifications.

I really like the idea of "Engineering". I suggest making bombs that could be used on arrows or just bombs that are similar to chinchompas. This could make fire making more prevalent in the game since basically it has almost no use.
Adding features to creating hot air balloons for traveling and a tool belt that goes into the ring spot that hold a hammer, spade, sheers etc. Leveling up could increase space on one's tool belt, which could benefit skilling for other skills. Ores and Bars could be used for materials in the skill. Could add new armor and weapons that are made through the skill.

I'm very curious what is going to make the shortlist... I've literally tried to think of something the last couple days that isn't already in-game and I can't. The few ideas I've been able to scrap together have been weird at best lol.

Will be very interesting to see what comes from this... I'm scared!

I think a new and improved version of summoning would be a great new skill. I remember in the initial dev blogs for summoning they said they had some ideas to make a skill that linked with hunter where you caught animals and then raised them to help you in useful ways, but then scrapped the idea. They could keep some of the things from summoning that worked well but add a new system for how the skill worked.

me me ...i got an idea for a new skill which i put to jagex ages ago..before the third age even.its called 'elite skills'..before you can open this skill you need to have an average of ..lets say 60 in every skill. then when starting that skill it opens things like firstly guilding bronze then iron and up and up . so guilding is a part of elite skills then say sewing as a skill..if you have say 99 crafting and and elite bench in your house you can sew up a robin hat..or if you have 99 mining and 85 'elite skill' you can mine dragon ore,which is only found in dragon birth cave which would need 98 slayer to get in to..so see elite skills is endless.i mean someone had to make those treasure trail items , so open up a skill that you can make em..oh a last thought 99 or lets go to lvl120 elite skills gives the ability to enhance a d plate or chain or boots or ENHANCE(could be an ability in elite skills) a robin , or even a fury amulet...selling fury(e) 12 mil....oh yea lets do it

it aint oldschool if you add **** to the game,if people want to dungeoneer they can go back to eoc,its called "oldschool runescape" for a reason,everythings the same as it was and oldschool runescape accually brought back players,i guess jagex wants to lose even more people,summoning was alright bcuz it was there in oldschool before eoc came out,putting in dungeoneering and allowing new weapons/armor and stupid stuff like that wont make it like the oldschool us older players remember it to be,tell you now im quitting if they put in dungeoneering or any other skill than summoning,so much for the term "oldschool runescape" jagex fails again.......second i see theres a new skill other then summoning im clicking cancel membership and back off to worldofwarcraft i go.
