What is your suggestion?:

Add one or two Sailing-related items to the Vote Shop.
Is this in OSRS?:
No because OSRS doesn't have a vote shop 
 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
Not that I know of
 

How would this benefit Alora?:

Increasing Alora's Player Count via Increased Natural Voting.

Most of Alora's traffic and new players arrive at Alora via 1 of the 4 websites you see when you type ::vote. I joined Alora via one of them. You want the announcement of Sailing to be matched by vote volume to promote Alora to the top of the charts. All players in Alora benefit by increasing the player count. This is like the network effect Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube, and the dating apps share. 

It's a small suggestion, but the growth of player base this suggestion is designed to cause, positively affects the experience of pretty much every player in Alora. However some people may be critical of this suggestion if they prefer a lower player-count in Alora.

Rather than taking time, this suggestion helps you save time in order to release sailing faster.  First mover-advantage is real. As one example, imagine how few people would care about another rideshare app being released today given that Uber and Lyft already exist. What I'm saying is, being first or second to market with Sailing will be a huge advantage and this suggestion helps unlock that market + it helps grow the player base.

Sailing will be a great update. Let's have the marketing via your rankings in the voting websites coincide with that hard work.

Vote book shop is getting stale anyways.

I think adding a couple of sailing items into the shop would be a great idea. What items would they be that would help promote the release of sailing?

I haven't played sailing in OSRS. Alora Sailing will be my first experience of it so I don't want to speculate on the exact items. I'll leave that decision up to you, Omi or whomever has a reasonable final suggestion for that. That's a great discussion topic here but I'm impartial.

I also want to mention that the timing of this suggestion landing should probably coincide with the first release of sailing for best effect.

can we make them POH storable items so that us UiM’s can also start stocking

[colordeus]

what items would be added anyway??? to promote? and how would this help release sailing faster, thats a development thing, putting random items in the vote shop isnt gonna magically speed up dan's coding, also this looks like a narcissistic opportunity to start selling stuff early for money, and adding sailing items isnt gonna help grow the playerbase, i feel like even an announcement is gonna do more work than that, also from what i know alora is the only rsps making sailing anyway, most of the content for the first part of the upd is done so i'm not sure what theyre working on rn but adding items to the vote shop isnt gonna speed anything up

overall this just sounds like you looking for an opportunity to merch after losing that bowfa to pker without spending effort actually training sailing which is a rather fun skill, no support whatsoever

[Harpie Queen]

support, belle folly or rosewood bp would be a dream.

Vote store definitely needs an update, but uh… Yeah, this ain’t the one, chief.
