 Because Hope Island is a small MUCK, people kind of ignored the distance between Hope and San Pedro, and bounce around between the two like it's nothing.  For awhile, we tried to combat this by making it take RL time to get between the two locations (i.e. ferry delays, the delay in the sanpedro command, etc.) but all this does is encourage people to not go to San Pedro.
-For these reasons, and also because we feel that it will stir up the creative juices and give people more ideas, we have decided to put Hope Island in a RL location that is close enough to San Pedro that it is reasonable to sail there in a couple hours.

 ====== Introducing Santa Catalina Island =======

 We're also considering it somewhat flatter than Catalina, but it was always intended that there be a former/dormant volcano on the island and that there be some mountain terrain.  We haven't yet built this area of the island but it is likely to the south east.
+Next, we want to say that Hope Island is not visible from the California coast, as this isolation is considered one of its safety measures.  It isn't quite easy to get there unless you know kind of where it is.  Technically, Catalina Island is visible on a very clear day from certain parts of the California coast -- we're going to subtly nerf the island slightly further out to sea so that this isn't possible.
 Finally, you may notice that Catalina has many features that Hope Island does -- an airport, a town, even lakes -- we may claim artistic liberty in relocating these things to fit what we've already built.  That said, a project is in the works to reorganize both Hope and San Pedro in a way that makes more sense for both physical locations and where possible we will make things match up.
