Oasis Snapshot

It doesn’t make sense to try and document every change in a place like the Oasis village, but over the couple of weeks since my last overview pictures, it is interesting to see what has been stable and what has stayed the same.

Perhaps the most obvious thing that has happened is that the village is now larger, with more builders and more portazones. It is no longer possible to take a picture of the whole area, so I have taken three to form a kind of panorama (unfortunately, normal panorama software doesn’t work very well with There screenshots).

The center of the village has opened up a lot, so that there is now building on both sides of the road (the light-coloured area) that leads to Sirocco Heights to the west. The spaceship you can see straddling the road has since flown off to another part of There. Since these pictures were taken, one of the shop units in the central “L” has also been converted into a bridge to allow easier access from the ruins on the western side. The tent at far left was originally part of the central garden area; it is now off to one side and provides enough seating for large groups of people to talk at one time.

At the eastern end of the central area (right hand end in these pictures) you can see that a brown tower has been erected; this is actually made by two separate builders working together.

Out of the picture to the right (east) are at least another three portazones at the time of writing. The images were taken from the top of Dark_Viper’s tower bar before it was replaced by the Viper Pit Bar.
