Allow us to build chariots / horsecarts. The horsecarts could be more pve/portable poh based and the chariots could be used for pvm / pvp, gladiator style. We could also customise our chariots and make them faster then have time trails against eachother or vs npcs. Could have some new areas only accessible by horsecart (the lore could be it would take too long to walk there, like traversing the wild west back in the day). We could even add a new skill and levelling it up would unlock better wheels and attachments for the chariots/horsecarts? We could also manage a stable and introduce betting on horse races etc? As for name, i was thinking land-sailing?

Why downvote? 😤 you not excited for sailing like i am? This is sailing but for land so we can sail everywhere all the time?!

Horses? You mean the mythological hornless unicorn? There’s a reason why cavalry isn’t a thing in Gielinor… Unicorns cannot be tamed. umu

misty owl
#

Unicorn chariots are an even better idea, we could joust eachother while the unicorns jousted eachother

#

At most they would work like the cart in karamja where its stationary and you fade into a black screen while you get teleported to another destination

#

the view distance of the game does not fit a racing style mini-game as you need to know what's ahead of you way beyond the viewing distance

#

and I heard the engine doesn't like stuff moving a lot of tiles at a time, the world is simply not built for that type of speed

Have 2 ardy monkes push the cart
Either stay in the cage or push for cart when called your choice pwat we alrdy got the servant guild there

It'd look v out of place sadly... I'd kinda like mounts as part of taming if that did happen but ppl would be like hurpudur that's WoW hurpudur EoC next

misty owl

#

Eh not rlly

#

I'd be up for taming giving mounts doe

#

If that does happen

misty owl
#

But it’s literally the same as sailing just reskinned and on land instead of water? 😫

compact onyx
#

Whichever area you designate to be a racing track is gonna be one flat boring surface nobody wants to be in

misty owl
#

But the whole ocean is going to be a flat boring surface?

compact onyx
#

unless you wanna drive it through lumbridge and hit every single tree on your way to varrock

misty owl
#

Obstacles would add to the challenge

#

We could race between cities

#

Winner gets a reward

compact onyx
#

You have too much faith in the king of varrock to actually fill in all the potholes

misty owl
#

He can use the ge tax he’s theoretically in charge of

#

We could have pothole random events and construction crews

compact onyx
#

He can't even take care of his own garden, let alone a flat road surface

I don’t see why 3 people have downvoted, are you just sailing haters or something? @mortal hare @meager oar @formal tulip

I would vote yes on sandworm racing, Dune style

#

no obstacles there

misty owl
#

Yooo that’d be cool too

#

We could have chariots/horsecarts for mainland, sandworms for desert cause the wheels would get stuck in the sand

#

Shame all these sailing haters keep downvoting so we’ll never get it passed 🙄

compact onyx
#

that is because the desert is the only place where land sailing makes sense

misty owl
#

But we could even build new far away lands, have to traverse through forests to fetch there, fighting off bandits and robin hood

compact onyx
#

designating an area the size of kourend to just racing would be dead content

#

keep in mind this is an rpg, not a racing sim

misty owl
#

Not just racing

#

Land sailing

#

New pvm content

#

Horse carts for utilities on the go

#

Chariots for combat

#

We could introduce raids 5 which is some gladiator boss we have to battle with chariots

#

Like the colosseum on wheels

compact onyx
#

chariots are for wars including hundreds of people clashing into each other, old school does not support pvp in that large of a scale

misty owl
compact onyx
#

look at the size of the current pvp minigames and see chariots have no place there

#

trying to fit your narrative as a copy of sailing doesn't work

#

ships do not move at the same speed as chariots

#

it's not the same scale

misty owl
#

But it literally is? 😫 i’m saying dupe the source code, reskin it to chariots and land and away we go

#

I just want to sail more than just when i need to cross an ocean cause sailing looks like such a great cool idea

#

If we needed to upscale it to better suit the size of a boat we could do huge trojan horses or trains

#

Steam trains to be thematically appropriate obviously

compact onyx
#

trains are also just fade to black transitions

misty owl
#

But so are boats currently? That’s being changed we could have derailed trains that drift around

#

Idk man idm what the skin is, i just want land sailing

#

Wait i got an idea

#

If we can’t do land, let’s take to the skies! Flying?

Tune! Tell me that doesn’t sound like a chariot theme tune? Or an eagle?

#

You’ve got to 94 land sailing

#

Built swords on your wheel hubs

#

Drift in circles around tds chopping their ankles down

compact onyx
#

Drifting around TD's at 2 tiles per tick

misty owl
#

Tell me that doesn’t sound sick

#

Almost as good as drift boat pirate battles

#

This might be suggestion of the year if i do say so myself

Okay, so flying skill

#

Sky can be rescaled however ya want

#

Floating islands

#

Eagles

#

Raids against dragons

#

Can build and upgrade saddles

simple willow
#

They'd have to invent a 3D mapping system. At that point you're just playing Minecraft.

#

Unless you want... 2D flying?

misty owl
#

Ye but sailing is just playing one of those thousands of pirate games?

#

I’m down for 2d flying

#

I just don’t want sailing to be limited to ocean biomes

simple willow
misty owl
#

Let us craft our saddle bases on the ground, mount our birds, teleport us to a sky grid, let us fly around exploring floating islands, fighting off other birds of prey, raiding with friends against dragons

#

Sky sailing

compact onyx
#

what's next, lava sailing?

simple willow
#

I mean lava sailing makes more sense than sky sailing. It's at least a liquid. We'd just need a lava location large enough to sail in.

misty owl
#

Because birds can’t fly?

#

Why you all support sailing but dislike reskinned sailing?

#

Make it make sense

simple willow
#

sailing in air is a much more complicated problem than sailing on a liquid, even if it's not liquid water.

While it is true that I voted no for sailing, the game map, areas, and literally any content is not built to be compatible with something like this proposal unless you literally rework everything about movement, scenery, combat, stats, skilling, pvm, and pvp. It’s an idea that at best would eliminate engaging with the game world, at worst would be useless or cause them to create content like (especially original) zeah where there is literally infinite empty and useless space. The game world as-is, most especially early areas, are relatively densely packed and mounted combat and/or mobility would not remotely make sense there.

At best, you’re proposing a half-baked fourth combat style and skilling platform, and at worst, you’re eliminating or entirely reworking every current means of interacting with the game world or spreading it out so much it becomes mandatory to engage with mounted content

#

But sure, if you want to oversimplify the issue to disliking the proposed execution of a weird land-based tangent to a skill I voted no for, then yes, anyone who disagrees with you surely just hates sailing and you don’t need to consider their opinion any further.

At the very least, land sailing is a bad idea, yes.
