Its gonna be a hate post, so buckle up and be calm :O.
Dont get me started on this sailing mechanic that plays like a game in 2005 in free website gaming, no one would play it in 2025… And i rather just sail in sailing games where its way better then osrs.
The methods are so bad, other then Barracuda trail, and Barracuda trail is so boring after 4-5 times, and there were way more diffrent races in a 2004 sailing games. the box shipping is so weird, so clunky and not fun… Clicking on the flag on inventory to sail a bit faster and get xp, honestly the most boring mechanic out there.
How do people think its good? I feel like its the same people who just vote yes for everything :(
Well finished my rage ;), what about good things about sailing? I guess content…
What you think about sailing?

Even if it’s super fun (I haven’t tried it so I wouldn’t know) it’s not what I want from OSRS. I want my nostalgia, that’s most of the reason I play, and changing the core list of skills while skills like smithing is still imbalanced as hell and fire making is about lighting logs makes no sense.
I unironically now wish there was an old school old school taken in like 2023 before things really started to get out of hand
And I realize I’m in the minority here. I’ve just stopped playing at this point
yep, i only play osrs (but quitted 1 year ago) for the variety, you dont wanan combat? tons other skills waiting for progression, dont wanna play? just go to star mining and get that dopamine!
but now they just fucos on combat mostly, and its just zzzzzzz, i rather just play some other combat games ngl
They nerfed skills when they released Zulrah and the other bosses. No need to fish if big snake drops fish
So now the only reason people fish is for quest requirements and 99

It looks and feels like old school to me. People keep saying it’s boring… but it isn’t even out yet? All that was released was an alpha test for the basic mechanics. It’s already a more fleshed out skill than many of the other skills.
It sounds like you just don’t like the game, which is fine. Why waste energy on something you don’t like?
I have a maxed ironman I’ve played since 2015, and my original account was made way back in 2004. I didn’t play non-stop, but I was there for 2004-2010 for original RuneScape, and 2015-2022ish for OSRS. I say this to establish that I’m a longtime player that loves the game, and it’s been a very special part of my life growing up.
Having said that, Sailing was the deal breaker for me. When it passed the polls I stopped playing and haven’t been back since. I’m a bit sad at times, because I miss the old RuneScape, but that ship set sail (heh) years ago.
Looks like shit and I’m almost positive it was something that would be forced on us because they spent too much time on it to walk it back. Even going back to the original interest poll it was clearly the most refined concept
yep! and with 10 setence, how hard to explain sailing vs shamanism and taming? xD, it was so bad wrote concept, and even then, shamanish was 0.4% away from winning…
sailing was also on the top, which makes people have easyer time to just chose the first option, and i know alot of people just vote the first thing they see…
sailing should never won, but i guess polls are just manipulated as hell.
It’s top notch. Those who just want to be smol beans chilling with their chonkerinos and insist their hecking nostalgiarinos be pure as m’lady herself can go tip their fedoras on over to a private server. Make sure not to come back.
If you thought Summoning 2 or The Other One were going to be better skills, you do not know ball. It is a bona-fide Old-School skill, and the only thing incongruous about it is that it’s fun.
This is a slow and boring game and that’s part of the appeal. If you think the core gameplay loop of Sailing is boring, try doing some Fletching or Smithing without any other stimulation but the game music. If you think it’s too much like a minigame, go do some Farming, the literal Herblore minigame that was made solely to be a dailyscape chore that would increase login counts. It fits Old School better than some aspects of Old School do.
tl;dr fits OSRS like a glove, landlubbers maldin
