	* Question: How does the in-game economy work?
	* Answer: Nearly everything is made, harvested, refined, or crafted by another player. Players control the in-game economy.

	* Question: Do things have different prices in different locations?
	* Answer: Yes. Very much so. There is a role for players who want to move things from point A to point B to make money from those differences.

	* Question: Is there a single centralized market hub?
	* Answer: No. Unless players later choose to make one. That’s outside our hands. Players have a lot of freedom.
