Mr_Adam Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 By now, we SHOULD know that there won't be a sailing skill anytime soon (or ever, preferably). However, many people still seem convinced that a sailing skill will be released this year, and despite my vast knowledge, think that it will be the greatest thing ever (What the hell would you even do?!). I'm trying to prove them wrong, and I'm looking for some proof AGAINST sailing, preferably the J-Mod's post that there won't be sailing (in a piratey tone). IN SHORT: Does anyone have the RSOF code or any other link that I can give as proof AGAINST sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandorf61 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 He used propaganda to ignite rage against the Jews, who he believed were lesser. Sailing = propaganda. Yes because sailing is just causing so much rage against people. People with closed minds just can not handle the idea of possibility and imagination. Sailing will never be released the concept is just too horrible for people who can't "think outside the box".

Lord Diddy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 People have anticipated the summoning skill without any proof or even hint for many years. Most likely if there are many supporters Jagex has already thought of it and are in the making. Imo archeology skill has more weight if they are going to release a new skill. I doubt there was any hint or proof toward sailing and was just a rumor that gained some momentum. Note that archeology with the varrock museum would count as a reliable clue.

Mr_Adam Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Reasons I don't believe sailing will come into existence: 1) it will add LOTS of space to the world map, most of which will be dead space (water). 2) What would you possibly do on the ocean? Navigate? Some suggest PvP, but my thoughts are that this (unless it were some sort of minigame) would be much to complicated. 3)Overall, it seems to complicated. However, I do support the Exploration that was suggested on the RSOF. It seems (to me at least) much more feasible. Archeology is somewhat like Exploration, and could be easily merged. And I'd rather not get into biographies on Hitler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_arty Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I really do not know what all the fuss to do with sailing is about. And when you think about it, it would be a pretty pointless skill. And how on earth would you train it? Boat races? It would have very little practical use, unless jagex made some sort of flying boat or something. And who needs a skill that lets you travel when you have umpteen methods of getting from place to place already? (Don't flame please, I'm just expressing my personal views) [hide=My Dragcave stuff][/hide]Or maybe I don't have a rod lodged firmly in my anus.;)They're very scared of mickey mouse though.

Captainkidd Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 bahaha! Ironic irony is making meh laugh! :lol: Oh where do I begin? Lets start with you having 'vast knowledge' about this but are looking for any sort of evidence you can find to support yourself... LOL! I'm guessing your 'vast knowledge' is simply understanding that there has not been any solid proof that there will be a sailing skill, which is fueled by you not wanting the skill. Sorry buddy, but the last two skills weren't ever announced until their release (or damn close), but Jagex DID hint at there exsictance. Seems like to me that you got into a internet argument with someone know 'knows' that sailing is the next skill, and you being someone who 'knows' that it isn't ever going to be a skill and are looking to win the fight but can't find anything to go to war with. May I remind you of this? http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... cle_id=558 We are getting close to getting a new skill (as history has proven), and seeing as Sailing has been the only one hinted so far it looks like it just might be the next one, though NO ONE will know until the next skill is released and thinking one way or the other is just foolish. ~ Captainkidd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't flame please, I'm just expressing my personal views) I agree with this... what practical use would sailing have? Let me sail to Brimhaven when I can take a charter ship? Let me sail here or there when I can teleport, walk, balloon, etc etc etc there? Sounds like firemaking, good in concept impractical in actual uses. Archaeology seems like a much more viable skill in both use and practice. At least you can DO things not normally done with archaeology being introduced.. but maybe that's just me. Apparently, my signature was to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_proffy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 How exactly was it hinted? I've never heard anything from Jagex on the matter of Sailing. Seems like simply a rumor that sprung amidst the RS players. Also, Sailing is pointless. At least, with Agility, you can access shortcuts and regenerate energy faster. But Sailing? We already have charter ships, normal transports, as well as some teleporters like to Lunar Isle or Waterbirth Island. How would you imagine training Sailing? Making knots? Or perhaps spending hundreds of hours navigatin' the sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagex has surprised us before with skills that sound useless. Farming and Slayer come to mind because who exactly wants to tend for virtual plants and be forced to kill 1 type of creature to get skill points. (Keep in mind that this is what it would sound like to someone who's never played runescape or tried a new skill) 3. Since when is complication a bad thing (Let's leave medical problems out of this)? I mean, I'd MUCH rather have a computer that can run crysis at the highest settings then have a computer that that has a 2 MB HD that's bigger then my washing machine and lags when I play pong, wouldn't you? Also, I personally don't feel strongly about if it's real or not but I felt I had to throw this in here. You seem to be going out of your way to try to crush the dreams of players. Please don't go into the education field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I vaguely recall a J-mod saying that there were currently no plans to release a sailing skill. However, that does not rule out the possibility that such a skill will be released in the future. After all, it has gained widespread popularity. There's no way to prove that it will not be released; in fact, it's easily a top candidate for a new skill the next time one is released. Of course, there's also not really any way to prove it is going to be released in the near future...pretty much all the so-called "evidence" is hooey. Sailing may or may not come out, but in either case we have no way of knowing one way or another, any more than we know about other future updates Jagex hasn't talked about.
