Fog getting less dense?
 

I could swear that today the fog was less dense than two days ago with that new island. Is this the same for any others?

I don't know, haven't looked. It doesn't matter either way, the new island is going to come eventually.

I don't see the point of adding it, if there's not gonna be anything for another month.

It's to make people want it even more. Having an island appear surrounded by fog for a few weeks is much better than placing a new island ready to explore on a moments notice.

It's actually working a little (although they shouldn't take too long to open it up). A lot of people that have seen the island want to explore it even more.

I really can't wait to be needed like I once was. Back in the day, a number of pirates stayed safe and sound on Tortuga or Port Royal. I was the 'explorer'. I went out as a sort of scout, and brought back reports on what was out there. Now, I may just end up an explorer again, although pirates are bolder now, and will be exploring for themselves.
