ill keep this short and sweet but this question is kinda directed more to @Omicron for his perspective


due to the feedback ive been seeing on osrs in regards to sailing where the community is extremely split on it. essentially half the community is ready to quit the game due to where everything is going in regards to it feeling like runescape let-alone oldschool.

but i was wondering if like, say for example sailing does come out and its hot garbage and starts to truly harm the games direction, are you going to apply your executive decision & power and not implement it to alora? my reasoning for creating this post to see your perspective as the big boss where this is kinda power to the rsps scene in regards to players having a place to flee too when stuff really hits the fan on osrs.

these are kind of the changes in osrs's history that the rsps scene needs to truly pop off even further than it currently is due to jagex's stance where osrs was meant to also be their rsps killer/combatant

If it's truly dogshit, I really hope it doesn't come to Alora. In my head however, I can think of so many ways it could be honestly pretty cool.. let's just hope they implement it well. *holds breath*

@Mtam While we try to ensure that Alora is up to date with OSRS and that most content is accurate to the original game, we do take note of how the majority of players react to certain updates and make tweaks if necessary. Given that our primary objective is to create the most enjoyable experience that we can (rather than trying to emulate OSRS 1:1), we are not opposed to outright skipping over content and not implementing it at all into Alora if it does not appear to be successful on OSRS.

This 1000% should be skipped and not added to alora if it somehow makes it into osrs

If sailing somehow makes its way to OSRS, it will be right up there with eoc as one of the worse updates in Runescape's 23 year history.

 

I would be very disappointed if it made its way to Alora.

Sailing would be a HUGE thing to implement. It would take up so much dev time. So I hope it's only added if it's seen as a HUGE success by the OSRS community. If it's even half and half on opinions of it I'd say it's not worth the dev time.

Sailing is a strange one, there were a couple of really cool skills polled and somehow sailing still won, blows my mind.

Only time will tell of how Sailing sinks into the osrs community, learning a new skill definitely wasnt on my bingo card....it'd be a very large pot filled with 99s and maxing announcements over yell and various memes regarding the boat mobil--I mean ships
