Definitely not! As Dabali mentioned that can come under 'Expeditions' but importantly as well we feel that 'Islands' and content there fit quite well under the reward space of Sailing. Once you're on land you're no longer technically "Sailing" and we'll go into our reasoning there properly in the next blog, which is coming up late June/early July.

So did you guys just completely ignore all the feedback that many people saw a map scaling update for sailing as essential for it to work? You said you didn't want to do it, players told you it was vital, then you just completely ignored that and have now seemingly just declared it as not happening? That's incredibly lame if so. If you don't do it on release, you will never ever do it, and the skills entire lifespan will be gimped because you didn't want to put in the work.

Heya! I was in charge of sending over the feedback to the dev team at the navigation blog so I will take this one. We saw positive feedback overall on the navigation blog. Players rightfully raised some concerns about map scale. The devs felt that we could get around this problem by designing the skill to have various smaller ship sizes. From what I remember, the community responded well to that as the work involved with rescaling the entire map would cost a lot of dev time. That dev time coming at the 'cost' of potential content was something we wanted to avoid. I don't feel this would cause the skill to be doomed forever but if it is a significant enough issue (especially at beta test) we would absolutely reconsider our options to provide the best experience possible. Massive apologies if you felt like we were ignoring that feedback as we certainly want to be transparent and communicate with you through this process

Should that be lowers durability? /u/JagexLight

Thanks for spotting this, small typo that we're fixing now!

As much as I don’t want Sailing and realise it’s coming anyway I appreciate the consistent updates on the design process.

That said if there is no “ship in a bottle” or something similar, I’ll be very surprised at such a missed opportunity. Even if it’s just a replica of our ships to display in our POH.

Thanks so much! Just ran this comment past Mod Elena, the devs are aware about this idea and it's a cool thematic - so basically, watch this space I guess!

Ship racing as a primary method does not seem fun. I think it ahould be moved to a secondary or tertiary training method.

We have a survey part specifically asking about 'Ship Racing'- would absolutely love your thoughts in there if you have time. Difficult to tell what 'not fun' means as it varies per player type. Thank you so much though for still engaging with us & leaving your feedback

Would absolutely love to hear your feedback on how we can improve to make sure we take into account your thoughts. Would you be able to tell us in our latest refinement survey? :( <3

Thank you so much for your patience on this one, we took the extra time to try and listen to the feedback we were hearing in Discord and on socials, so I'm really relieved to hear that it was worth it for you! Thank you :D

You guys are really knocking it out of the park with the Sailing development and these blogs. Loving the ship customization ideas.

Thank you so much! We really appreciate the feedback. :)

The team worked super hard on this blog because we know how important this step of refinement is!! A huge credit to our wonderful community creators (GentleTractor, ScreteMonge & Hooti_Tooti) who are helping to bring our vision to life in these blogs and videos!

Hi everyone!

Since Reddit dropped their focus on subreddit CSS customization we haven't been doing our holiday event styling for /r/2007scape (some of you may remember the animated snow for Christmas!), but we took this opportunity to bring it back! If you take a wholesome and colorful pride-related screenshot during the event period and submit it as a reply to this comment, you may be featured in the event subreddit banners for the event duration and the years to come! We'll do similar stuff for the other upcoming holiday events this year.

Keep in mind that the focus of y...

The pet event bug issue should now be resolved!

I know core gameplay is coming next, but I don't really have much to say about navigation until I know what this skill even is as a 1-99.

That makes a lot of sense as feedback. We started with navigation first to try to tackle the feedback about the tech not being possible. Now it's possible, we'll work on showing you more about core gameplay. We know that the next blog/topic is going to have a lot more feedback and we can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks for the tag. I've looked at our internal documentation and the table in the blog is what matches the internal doc, so I would say use the table on the blog rather than the graphic for now.

I'll double-check with the team tomorrow to be 100% sure. We can easily get the graphic amended if that was incorrect. Apologies for the inconvenience it has been quite a tight turnaround to get all materials to you in good time!

Hi, thanks for your patience. I've just synced with the team and it looks like the internal documentation was incorrect. The infographic is correct. I apologise for misleading you with the blog info. I can assure you it was the info I was presented when we wrote the blog, so it must have been changed since writing it.

I'm going to update the blog now with the correct information. After speaking with the team about it, I was assured that this would not make players feel like it's a slog to travel on larger ships, as we plan to have various upgrades and other mechanics which would improve ship speed.

Please also bear in mind that if the skill passes a greenlight poll we'd be open to changing these numbers based on feedback, so I would ask that you keep an open mind if possible.

Thank you for highlighting the inconsistency and for your feedback.
