    Courier For Hire

    When the game goes live, I'm thinking I'm going to want to start up a courier service of some sort. The general concept being basically an in-game version of FedEx. I would take useful items/mats as payment to run things from wherever you are to wherever you want them to go.

    I've only got a rough idea on how I want to do it, but the plan for now is to arrange a pickup either in-game or via private message, we'd then meet and exchange half the payment and the package, which I'd then carry to the destination whereupon I'd get the second half of the payment.

    To address the inevitable problem of gankers, I will offer free, or at least heavily discounted, schlepping for any tribe willing to offer an armed escort through their immediate zone and one zone after.

    None of this is going to be done until the game goes live, so this thread is to see if there's any interest in such a thing, as well as get my name out there.

    What do people think?

    Tribes may not need him, but I bet the great number homesteads out there would find his services very useful.

    I could see something like a courier service doing well. Not all tribes will be huge and there may not always be protection logged on. If he gets a rep for being honest and completing the delivery, people may take advantage of his service.

    I like this idea, not sure if it will work as I have a feeling large crafting tribes will end up taking huges sections and supplying like 4-6 zones or something like that. But anyway a way to start might be by talking to Traders, trading guilds, merchants to develop ties in your choosen field.
