When the island was first sighted it was named Hode, ''pronounced "Hoad"'', and coming from the norse word ''"harðr"'', or ''"hard"'' in english. It was named this way because of the heavy resistance of natives resisting to let go of their home, so due to the hard circumstances for the settlers, the Island was named Hode Island or ''"hard/rough Island"'' and soon after the [[settlement]] was named Hode too. | When the island was first sighted it was named Hode, ''pronounced "Hoad"'', and coming from the norse word ''"harðr"'', or ''"hard"'' in english.

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. | 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]].

Crime had always been a problem in Port Hope, with pirates lurking in the dark waiting for potential victims to rob, as they arrived into the port to trade. What happened around nov. 2014 took merchants around the seas by surprise, as they could clearly see how more and more people visiting trade towns got robbed each day. In Port Hope the situation turned into a stand still of goods moving in and out of the town every day during peak hours, which was a problem since this was the hours that most of the money were usually made. | Crime had always been a problem in Port Hope, with pirates lurking in the dark waiting for potential victims to rob, as they arrived into the port to trade.
