Dutch - you've touched on something I figured out pretty late into the game, that fun is a factor of scarcity, and doubling the supply of something (even by popular request) kills the demand. Mod Fort was popular, so I made more. It was fun making a Vampire Tower, but since I didn't have access to global scripting (except through Server Strings) I never got to take the next step, using the Forts as a sort of Semifinal and creating another tier where Fort-Owning Guilds could war, sending major ranged attacks against the other forts, turf wars for supremacy, etc....
which wasn't apparently what made Mod Fort fun anyway, which just goes to show you can't fix everything with clever scripting. :-D
