Economy[]
(*Don't know a better place to put this question - please feel free to move as appropriate*)
Anyone have any info/sources/links/random theories about how the economy will work in SWTOR?
I am assuming that there will be vendors that sell merchendise, as well as an auction house that facilitates the sale of goods by players. However, there are a lot of questions still to be answered:
- General: Will the game support cross-faction trade? Aside from common MMO mechinisms for generating wealth (gathering mats, crafting items, etc.), will there be other economic activities in SWTOR?
- Vendors: Will there be 'neutral' vendors, or will there only be faction-specific vendors? What types of things will vendors sell - basic gear and provisions, raid-level gear, or something in between? Vanity items?
- Auction House: Where will they be located (Major cities only? Accessed from your ship?). Are they faction specific, or all-inclusive? What items can be placed on the AH? Does gear bind once equiped, or can it be sold/traded later?
Any info would be appreciated - many thanks! Thescale99 19:35, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
What we know is basically what you said, there are vendors and an auction house, but that's about everyting we know about economy. Oh and there is no gold, it's credits. Yeah we haven't really gotten any information about it. I guess we'll find out in a month, won't we? Dosadnik 1 20:18, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
- As Dosadnik said we don't really know the answer to any of that yet, BioWare has said next to nothing on the subject. We do know the existence of the 'Galactic Trade Network', which I'm assuming will be the basis for the Economy of the game, but that's it. No details yet.
