Well, it's not exactly revamped, but we have made some improvements to the fort which you may have noticed.
First of all, the location of the fort has changed to better accomadate roleplaying. It is now right by the river and closer to the sea for easy trading access. To look at a picture, go to www.freewebs.com/otterfort .
Another huge thing we did was to extend the function of the fort. Originally it has only been a military fort, but over time, we reasoned that more merchants would trade in our marketplace because they have the protection of the fort. Therefore, the market has been expanded to a trading post for outside trades and the regular marketplace for shops and such.
To extend this idea, villagers would show up at the fort to make money by selling their wares. Thus, a new board has been made called the village. This village has sprung up around the walls of Otter's Fort. This expands roleplaying opportunities because now the members of the fort have a place for their families to live (if they have any). That means that it may be possible for dibbuns to join (as long as they only roleplay under the Village).
Last, but not least, two more ships have been added to the Otter's Fort navy. In addition to the schooner the Stormy Otter, we will also have two sloops. This was necessary to provide protection to merchant ships and also to make more roleplaying opportunities. Now more than one ship can be roleplayed at once.
All these things have resulted in some boards being moved or removed altogether. Here is a list of changes.
-The Village is new
-The Tavern and Gardens have been moved under the village
-The Flatlands have been archived since they are not near Otter's Fort anymore
-The Market has been expanded into Marketplace and Trading Post
-Docks have been added under the Sea
That's it for now. Thank you for bearing with us during the changes. If you have complaints, suggestions or questions, please either post them under Complaints and Questions, PM me, or email me.
