Now that it's been out for a bit: I like the events, but encouraging player interaction with the +10 boost is my favorite part of forestry. I used to play Guild Wars 2, and that game rolled loot/xp drops separately for different players. This made it so having more players around would never be detrimental. Meanwhile, in OSRS, it's often required or at least beneficial to hop worlds for skilling/pvm tasks so you can be alone, which feels out of place for an otherwise very social MMO. The boost and changes to tree despawning address that for wc really well, and I've probably seen more in public chat the last couple days than I've seen for the last few months (excluding wintertodt and ge). I'm hoping more content (e.x. salvaging from the sailing blogpost) follows the same route of having more people around being helpful, or at least not actively hurting your xp rates.
tl;dr I'm just happy that forestry encourages being social
Same, I was originally most interested in Taming, but Sailing seems varied in terms of training and rewards so far, plus it strikes a good balance of supporting/utilizing other skills and more insular progression.
We�re on to the next stage of our Sailing refinement journey: core gameplay!
> We’re back with our next Sailing refinement topic, and it’s another really important one. Now that we’ve learned how Navigation will work, we can move on to the systems and gameplay loops that will form the bulk of our new skill. Let’s ‘dive’ in!
noooo you need to do his job for him and fight snails for the 80th time to get gear with +1 prayer!!!!1!11

On desktop, most of the playerbase uses RuneLite, since it's free and open source, has some nice quality of life features, supports user-created plugins, and has been explicitly allowed by Jagex. Just be careful to only download it from runelite(dot)net, as people sometimes make fake runelite websites to use as phishing scams and the like. There's also the official steam client and the default client, which aren't bad, it's just that RuneLite is quite good.
On mobile, afaik you're stuck with the official app, but tbf it's surprisingly good, especially for an mmorpg designed for desktop, ESPECIALLY one based on code from 2007.
(Also if you're new to osrs, the wiki is really in-depth!)
