Several houses had been erected and the town Began to thrive better, as there had been built a storage house as well as small farms to sustain life in the long term. This was also the time the old tavern building first opened its doors to welcome the thirsty and worn down settlers. The little settlement was far from safe though. It met heavy resistance from local tribes people who had originally inhabitted the island so a temporary wooden palisade was build around most of the buildings to protect from future attacks.

The first shop in Port Hope Opened late in the month and was to contest the already strongly established shops in the oceans, known as [[/warp Shop]] and [[/warp Skyshop]]. Port Hope did not yet have a [[/warp]] making it harder to compeed with the much larger shops, but against the odds the shop opened and started selling basic materials and minerals to travellers passing by the little port.

<big>'''The reformation of Port Hope'''</big>
Following the growth of the settlement there was great will into developing it into a triving merchant port. The founder of the settlement and only merchant residing, called Bislo1, had a wish in turning the city into a town full of trade with many different shops that sold all kinds of different goods from all the corners of the sea. With much time and resources spent on building house to accomodate all of the potential new merchants, [[Bislo1]] now stood ready to open the flow of trade into the settlement and developing it into an actual town. /warp trade was aquired, making the settlement a very interesting place to move into, as there was profit to be made in a place everyone had access to.
Many Merchants were interested in buying land of their own in the city, so much that the plots were sold before any buildings could even be completed. This also helped Port Hope become a more respected settlement among the community of the pirate seas. Buildings where raised, some where remodelled numorous times to fit demand, old building were demolished to make room for larger, more colorful buildings.
'''Wogworld'''     
With the arrival of the merchant, known as [[Wogworld]], Port Hope saw its most significant increase of trade flowing into the Town. popularity rose as [[Wogworld]]'s wares were often hard to optain, yet reasonally priced, to let the majority of the traders be able to bid in. This was something that hadn't been seen before, with the old [[/warp shop]] selling rare items, but often at a rather steep price. [[Wogworld]] intended to change that and contested the established shops prices on all levels, soon making his shop the most popular to trade with. The prices were constantly being adjusted and goods were added on all floors to keep the interest high. 
The Trade Empire [[Wogworld]] had created did not last forever though. He and the rest of the merchants in Port Hope, saw decline in sold goods when the new [[/warp wolf]] was introduced. In the start this new contester would not seem to be much of a challenge for [[Wogworld]], but This new Powerful redstone expert, known as [[Ma_c_hi]], soon dicovered that he too could gain profit by copying the same strategy [[Wogworld]] had success with.
This did not stop [[Wogworld]]'s operations, although it gave him frustrations about the future of his profit.
Port hope, managed by [[Bislo1]], kept expanding its assets in the light of the popularity [[Wogworld]] had brought to the Town, buidling, selling and leasing property to new merchants arriving.
