We want our players to have a reason to explore the wilderness, to travel with purpose, and much of that will be driven by our resource system. Transporting these goods might just be more difficult than gathering them. Our regional market system allows players to participate in creating pocket economies that will reinforce the stability of goods in particular regions. Players will be able to move resources and set up shop in other areas to take advantage of the varied markets. With resources spawning dynamically, certain regions will naturally become important trading hubs for the transportation of goods throughout the world.[1]

Economic regions are static areas defined by geographic points of interest.[2][3][4]

  • Castle regions are larger and encompass multiple economic regions.[2]
  • Nodes are the glue that hold castle and economic regions together in potential synergy or chaos.[5]
    • Node ZOIs are fluid and change their area based on the progression of the node and its neighbors.[2]
  • Castle regions, Economic regions, and Node ZOI (Zones of Influence) can overlap.[6]

The whole map would be under the influence of 1 of 5 castle regions. However, castle regions aren't the only TYPE of region - there are also economic regions, among other things.[3]Sarah Flanagan
