I think that if OSRS is to release a new skill it should be a skill that sounds SOOO awesome and so far-fetched that it will have RS3 players saying... "Hey, that new skill they have sounds pretty damn cool, I might have to check that out." I'm sorry, but "Divination" (RS3's newest skill) blows all of these skills out of the water in terms of public appeal. Even the skill name, itself, sounds cool! I'm not saying OSRS needs Divination, I'm only saying.... if we go through with this and really, truly decide to open up these ancient gates to a new skill in OSRS, it should be one that brings Old School Runescape back with a BANG! A skill that represents Old School Runescape and the traditional mentality that its players have. No offense, but herding isn't a skill that is going to have players lining up at JagEx's door trying to get an OSRS membership. On that note, NONE of these potential skills would have people signing up for OSRS. I feel like these skills were chosen for their simplicity and the ease at which these skills would be able to be written into OSRS's pre-existing script. We want tradition. We want complexity. We want some freakin' ZEST and some FLARE. Jagex, I urge you.... IF you decide to bring a new skill to OSRS.... make it the coolest god damn skill RS has ever seen. Don't just make a skill to make a skill. Let us develop a skill that will have people begging for more OSRS membership, begging for more content. WE CAN DO IT.
I totally agree. Couldn't have said it any better!
