The fact that like half of the map is ocean, this is really an update the size of more than half the map when you consider instance areas, which is insane. This is going to be a skill that gives OSRS the ability to stay fresh with quite literally endless updates for the years to come. Pretty amazing. What started as an April's Fools joke actually makes a lot of logical sense when you consider how much dead space occupies the bodies of water.

@@ayoo_wassup For all it's faults that's why I play RS3, been player RS since 2007. No polling and nice surprises. People don't dictate and limit imo the direction of the game. I probably would have started playing OSRS but I seen that many things are polled and no new skills ever. That's one of the things that excites me, new skills. I remember Summoning coming out. Massive change. 4 skills since OSRS came out, 3 of them integral to the game and done extremely well. Invention- augmentors that are attached weapon, armor, and tool for perks that have a chance to proc like full protection prayers(ours is 50% protection) or 0.4% chance to burn all logs in inventory. There's also machines like an auto alchemizer that does so at 25 items in hour or an auto hide tanner. Everything needs divine charges to function which you make from Divination. Archeology-research lost knowledge in new and old areas, passive buffs from relics that cost a currency to switch like having teleport spells cost no runes but give no magic xp. And the latest skill/standalone combat style, Necromancy. It's similar but different from your Arceuus spellbook. I would actually love to get Sailing in RS3. In a new quest with Necromancy there's an easter egg that we use a boat in the Underworld. Couldn't be a coincidence.

I’m so excited, honestly the new quest and mid level bosses are so nice to look forward to for my new Ironman, let alone sailing sounds like an Ironman dream.

This Honestly is going to make me become a member again when sailing drops

most if not all of osrs's newest content updates have been great to downright fantastic. theyve gotten much much better with questing and adding content and new minigames that are pretty fun. i have a ton of faith in their ability to really make this a nuanced and fun skill. especially if that community map that adds so much new explorable areas is to be believed.

So glad that they didn't get scared away from making another skill after the warding debacle, and I'm glad this got in over what would have turn out to be a buyable that would just gatekeep imbues from poor people and introduce mage armor that could never be more powerful that ancestrals, aka just catering to PvPers that can now swap out their salad/mystic robes for better ones

Yo chill I'm already 10 years from maxing after the new DT2 quest came out. What's 12 years?

What skill is fun in OSRS? Mining? Smithing? Agility? "Fun" should not be a factor, that's what mini games, raids, and bosses are for, Skill are about repeatable tasks and a feeling of utility and progression. I think any of the three skills pitched would be great; Sailing, if successful will not be the last skill pitched, Sailing opens up an enormous map area for new content to be placed without affecting nostalgia of other locales. As I touched on, Sailing is not the LAST skill to be added but it could be, people voted no because their "team" didnt win, but our "Team" now is OSRS and I hope everyone votes for what's best for the skill and for the game/community with sailing and we do not trap the OSRS development team into an iteration limbo of failing votes and changes. If the development team and the community can be successful with such an ambitious undertaking then there should be no reason we won't see another skill like warding in the not too far flung future.

When will it be added?
