AT A GLANCE
The announced economy includes trade runs and transporting goods between regions; the October demo excludes trade. XLGAMES has discussed solo or group trade missions, while trade runs through PvP channels and guild contests over trade posts remain early plans.
Trade runs versus player-to-player markets
Steam describes trading runs, transporting goods through dangerous territories and defending trade routes with allies. In an interview, XLGAMES said trade missions could be done solo or with others and that moving goods between regions would remain important to the economy. That describes trade activities; it does not confirm an auction house or player marketplace.

Demo availability and risk
The public demo explicitly excludes trade. The interview describes a design intended to preserve risk and adventure without making trade depend on large raid groups or PvP blockades. Do not assume every run is forced PvP or that the older game’s exact caravan systems return unchanged.

What remains a proposal?
The PvP developer letter floated trade runs through PvP channels and guild competition for trade posts. XLGAMES marked those ideas as early planning that could change. The current official sources do not detail an auction house, direct item-trade rules, taxes, prices or safe-zone delivery.
