    Related question would be how much will Intrepid allow for free market systems not controlled by the game system? That is player to player transactions. A player run insurance company would be just one example.

    Obviously the limit would be only in game resources could be exchanged, otherwise it violates the non-pay-to-win objective.

    Gambling transactions? A derivatives market? Player to player contracts? Private legal systems?

    I can see a very wide range of potential player controlled markets if Intrepid allows them. The key feature is these are all voluntary transactions.

    Based on the last update video and the freehold discussion/video, sounds like it's possible to have a freehold destroyed. Considering the seeming vast amount of time and money one could invest in the creation of their piece of paradise, what type of insurance policy could I buy to protect my investment. Not kidding. Going for realism here? I don't know that I have the playtime or tenacity for a freehold, but just the thought (as in life) of losing my home to circumstances outside my control would deter my from investing without some way of recouping my time & money should disaster strike. Thoughts?

    What are you trying to insure? Your blueprints and such will be mailed to you, so that's not wasted. When you get a new Freehold you can simply place the buildings back down.

    Do you want insurance on the resources in your storage? That defeats the purpose of allowing people to loot them.

    Do you want insurance on the Freehold "value" so when you lose it you haven't "wasted" all those property taxes you paid? You already received the benefits for paying taxes. You pay a tax to "rent" the land for a period of time. Nothing guarantees you those property rights in perpetuity.

    Losing the freehold is the risk part of the equation. Otherwise, it would be all reward, and Ashes is not intended to be a PvE crafting simulator where you build the farm of your dreams. Purchasing a Freehold is essentially opting in to PvP. You accept the risk and obligation to defend it. If you don't want that level of risk, then stick to instanced Apartments and using in node or others' amenities.
