Originally posted by asyndeton on MMORPG.com forums Just a question, sorry if it has been answered already, or two... Piracy? Is boat building something available? Ive never really done that in a game before, I would like to try it one day. You mentioned that some player(s) will eventually be able to own land and set some rules as to who can do what... will any rule breaking from outsiders, thievery, be possible? Obviously that is something that would be difficult to even be able to do as a player, and then to get away with I would imagine, but would it be possible to RP as a thief? Not that I would do it... Anyway, I would definitely love to try your game, if I am still around in three years or so... Oh and after looking at my sig: How convienent would it be to trade with other people? Like, would we have to meet up face-to-face, or is it possible implement... something else. I would like to be a business tycoon. sorry, my mind is a little jumbled at the moment.

Boat building may be available, it is not a priority right now however and may not be available until after launch. It is in the back of our minds as we code the game.
Rule breaking will be possible, but there will be automatic consequences, thievery in the traditional sense will not be possible. The game will always catch you. However if someone leaves a cache of supplies or a building undefended then you can steal supplies and destroy the infrastructure if you are willing to face the consequences of doing so.
Keeping with this topic, there will be an "afterlife" system in place whereby players who behave poorly in game by doing things like sneak attacking someone or destroying infrastructure of someone who did not attack you first will receive a harsher death penalty.
You could definitely roleplay as an outlaw/pirate however if you are not afraid of dealing with truly being an outcast among the more organized populations.
For trading, you will need to trade face to face. However, you will be able to hire a vendor to sell your wares and setup shops etc... If you sell something far away you will need to find a way to deliver the goods, either do it yourself or hire someone else to do it for you via the missions system.. Or have the buyer come and pick it up.
