Umm, no, it doesn't look like waves for me at all.
They look more like clouds or rocks if you ask me.

I think the new skill may have something to do with sailing or exploration or something like that, but it will also have something to do with ThirdScape, the cancelled MMO and could be the rumored Eastern Lands. What I don't think is that it is sailing at all.
Remember when we had that banner on the homepage and people thought the guy was wearing a sailing cape?

It looks like a plain to me, with a castle in the back.

What really ticks me off is that Members actually do get advertisments until they log in. They should change it back. I thought Jagex weren't about the money

I showed this to my friend as well like... 2 weeks ago? On X-Fire voice chat.
He said, "Umm... those aren't waves... those are trees and hills."
And I said, "Oh... oh yeah! Ok, yeah those are trees."
Anyways... I thought so as well, until I took a second look. So... just a generic castle image.

I see waves. The way the castle is situated makes me think it is a stormy sea with rough waves and a castle on a cliff overlooking the sea.

That's quite an outlandish title. Maybe you should change it? and there is no 'proof'.

Looks like the new skill to me will be castle riding.
It doesn't look like land to me. More like rocks.

They just changed it because the new update. Nothing interesting really.
MMG has publicly stated that Sailing would never be introduced as a skill in runescape. There is even a screeny of him saying it.

There's about a 2% chance Sailing will be the NEXT skill and this "proof" you've provided is off-the-charts in ridiculousness. When I look at this topic, it just screams spam at me.
Man is almost right. Gerhard did say that Sailing would "never" be released, but later answered to someone's question that what he said was a joke and that he's not sure about Sailing being made into a skill. So it's not that the skill is shunned or anything by MMG, it's just that they haven't really even touched the subject of Sailing yet as a skill.

I knew as soon as I saw the waves that suddenly everyone would be like "LAWL SAILING WIN."
No, MMG stated Sailing would never be a skill and the button only shows an ocean. For all we know the skill could be scuba diving.

Idiots, the new skill will be ocean taming. What could the ocean be for?

Its not water, and I'm pretty sure the image has been like that for a very long time, its just bigger now.
In the latest Q&A andrew said hes one of the few people who thinks sailing would work, if they were working on sailing that would certainly not be the case. They would never work on an update until they had a plan that convinced everyone it would work.

I don't think the next skill will be sailing but I do think it will be related somewhat.
I think it will be
Exploration!I was formerly a strong believer of sailing BEFORE the hype/faked picture. After Jagex said it would not be the next skill I reavaluated the evidence and came up with
Exploration. It includes Archaeology, sailing, raiding, spelunking, etc all rolled up into one skill of uber awesomeness.
The picture does give some credence to a water-based skill. I might add that as evidence assuming they keep it for a few months.

Its really not water, you can even see a dirt path on the right side and left of "click" is obviously not water cause its too ridged. Plus the so called water is higher than the castle.

I wish people would get over the fact that sailing is not the new skill. Is it possible for 13 year olds to broaden their minds and possibly comprehend that there ARE other possibilities for a new skill that do NOT involve water?

I see hills, rocks, castle and fog. Maybe it isn't a hint to a skill, maybe it's a new land to explore, being added in with the new skill?

Unless I saw video of the actual sailing skill being used with video commentary by Mark Gerhard, I don't believe that this is sailing we're seeing.

Interestingly, several of the team here at Jagex love sailing, so it did give us some cool ideas for the future. Oh, and the new skill is far better than sailing.
Mod Fetzki: We couldn’t believe it when we saw the fake Sailing icon that someone had put on to the highscore list, but the community identified it as a fake very quickly.

Yeah, another person thinks the skill will be sailing, when it won't be. It's called a 'design' and I'm sure Jagex has heard of one of these, as I have.

I wouldn't dismiss as this skill never coming out though. It could be possible that Jagex will look into it later when they have depleted many other ideas for skills.

To be fair on speed when they do add things like this, usually it is for a reason. Look at the MA background for instance. Whilst I don't think it is sailing, there would have been some reason for adding it.
