I know there will be many ideas for skills but the only one I can think of that has not really been touch is something involving music. It will be interesting to see the dev blog :P Clan Defy -

I will be voting no for the skill when it is polled, I just don't see the point in adding a new skill to a game that is only 1 year old and only have 9 maxed players.

Would be nice to see what ideas people come up with though.



My sentiments exactly

How about we leave the server as it was ment to be and stop trying t ruin it as what happen to EOC. Real this crap needs to stop as i see the reson why i started to play again going to crap. The player poles are a jole as all people do is click yes and dont read it. I give it a few months and OSRS will be dead as it wont be "OLDSCHOOL" anymore it will just be another trashed version of the real RUNESCAPE



That's what I fear as well....

Indeed, thats why i quit 07 after 7 months playing. Instead of making new skills or new monsters they should use all their power into stopping bots...wich are like 70% of community. I enjoyed playing 07 until we got new bosses, slayer stuff etc that are dead content already. Kinda stupid some people tells 07 will die without those updates, in my opinion its already dead =)

I have quit and on and off too cos of boredom like I feel most do these days with the nostalgia stuff. The bots are insane but I think the slayer updates were good. Slayer was dead at the start and the new updates helped more people feel to train slayer. ive seen tons more slaying these days. Its definitely a lot more dead these days like you say. Clan Defy -

To the people saying a new skill removes the "oldschoolness" and they should focus on removing bots...
Okay first, those who would design the skill are not the ones who have the knowledge to program antibot-programs. Other people from Jagex do that. The designers are content developers.
Second, I will definitely vote yes if the skill is implemented well. Games that aren´t updated will die, no matter how "oldschool" and nostalgic they are. Just look at RS classic. No updates, 100 players, 80% bots. The introduction of GWD however had a very positive effect both on high level pvm and pvp.
Also, no one forces you to train it. But the ones who wish to do so have fun and new goals in Runescape. In my opinion, voting no just because it wasn´t there in 2007 is selfish since you basically take away the fun others might have.
However, I do understand if you don´t want it to change the game. For example, adding new, (too) strong weapons or bringing to many items in the game would have a negative impact. And that´s why we poll it.

So, guys, please think for the future of the game we love and don´t be selfish. A new skill will definitely keep us playing and if done right, there will be no or few bad sides.
I am very open for good counter arguments, but please don´t just say
"OMG this will ruin the game I have no idea what the skill will be like but it just sucks and so does jagex because it wasn´t there in 2007".

Introducing a new skill can be a scary time, there are lots of new things to think about and learn. But as with any update we promise to make you fully aware of what the skill will entail before it is polled to you. None of you should be in the dark.

Looking at some of the entries we've had already.... you are in for a real treat.
