Welcome back FFAF
The world is slowing down as more and more move off to other worlds, delete, etc.
Large fort battles are rarely seen these days especially full on both sides. although there is still a very active fort action going on it tends to be confined to small and mediums mostly....
youll probably still average one fort battle a day here on 9 which is very very good considering how other worlds are doing.
Also they are mostly well attended on both sides mostly.
Some groups have unfortunately almost gone the way of the dinosaur such as Anasazi WE, WWW, NA, EK etc although Silversnake seem dead a defense always wakes them up in surprising numbers so they cant be written off.
Galts are still very much there and it has to be said that with without them forts wouldn't have survived thus far.
Girls Triangle have become the dominant force in the East at the expense of WWW and Fly keeps it going over there very well... Although note Kaskus The Odd towns and Paradise still hold their own.
Also in the east there is a new group nWo who seem to have regular fort attendees.
Out far west things are a bit more random but POW are def the stronger group out there atm...
Central West is the Pacific group and probably the most organized regarding forts apart from us.
Diablo control the Central East and are still constant allies and attendees.
The Center is controlled by a group of allied Towns/Groups such as the Shadow Brotherhood, Wealdstone, us and SSF
There are a lot of other towns still with active people in them but thats the current situation in forts.
Dueling still goes on quite a lot for us and certainly our town always has visitors...
Ive noticed a few of the old guard are back also if only for a while.
Things are not so intense as they were and certainly for me most opponents have become cordial and even friends of sorts if only for the common love of battles.
