Evergreen MMO Old School RuneScape just released Sailing, the first-ever new skill since the game's resurrection in 2013, and the first skill added to this "version" of the game – that is, not RuneScape proper – since the pre-OSRS days of 2006. But some things never change: within hours, players sniffed out an XP farm so good that it forced developer Jagex to swoop in with a hotfix.
As I write this, countless OSRS streamers – many done up in pirate garb – are rushing to level Sailing as fast as possible, and unseen hordes of diehard grinders are also quietly gunning to be the first to reach the max level of 99 in Sailing. A chunk of them got a head start thanks to an early XP boost that let them skip painful early levels.
