Hello everyone,

The Freeport (the current location) has always been a ‘temporary’ location for the battles – I chose it purely because I hosted a battle there ages ago. That’s pretty much the only reason. We’ve seen a huge influx of people in the last battle, and I feel the current location is not quite up to the ‘standards’.

However!

Times change, and I’m thinking of moving the ship battle arena to a new location closer to the center of the map where the majority of ships are (rather than in the outskirts). As well as building a new ship battle arena dedicated to these battles!

The New Arena:

Features:

• Walls – nothing horrible, I’ll do my best to make it look good
• Gates to enter/exit arena with ships
• Designated ship building areas
• Maybe some custom terrain to spice things up?
• Fully admin claimed (hopefully)

The size of this arena will under 400×400 blocks (same as old area). I’m not going to add a spectator area as that’s hard to do with a battle that’s constantly moving around. All existing ships at the Freeport can either be moved free-of-charge to the new location, or kept there, depending on the owner’s choice.

The Locations:

I’ve picked out 3 new locations for this arena, the place to vote will be at the bottom of the post. I’ve tried to pick locations that are not too close to existing player’s bases – if your base is next to one and you don’t want it there feel free to send me a message about it :)).

Location A:

• Benefits:
  • Closest to spawn
  • Reasonably ‘open waters’ (easy to move ships to the arena)
  • Close to Aeos Island, close to London , and close to my port – all three full of ships
  • Not within any crew territory (that I know of)
• Downsides:
  • Furthest away from /warp ships and ships2
  • Lots of deckhand claims nearby because its close to spawn

Location B:

• Benefits:
  • Nice and empty waters – very few claims and easy to move ships down there
  • Potential to make the arena bigger (because its so empty)
  • Not near any player’s claims
  • Quiet area
• Downsides:
  • Not many, still gonna be a 30 minute sail from cove or 45 minute sail from London

Location C:

<li style=”list-style-type: none;”>
• • UNAVAILABLE AS PER REQUEST OF SEVERAL PLAYERS AND BECAUSE ITS TERRIBLE ANYWAY – DON’T VOTE FOR IT PLEASE

Freeport (existing location:)

• Benefits:
  • No need to build a new arena
  • Empty waters
  • Quiet area
• Downsides:
  • Owned by BE: not a neutral port technically
  • Far away from a lot of stuff – takes forever to sail there
  • Won’t be able to have new arena there due to lots of nearby claims
