I read that a Dev said there are no NPC's ingame. Does this mean no NPC's to buy and sell stuff to or just no NPC's in the wild to kill?
Also, maybe I missed reading about it, what form of "currency" does this game have?

I believe there was mention of the in-game currency using USD to fit the Lake Tahoe setting - however whether this currency is the "accepted" one come game time, who knows. Some tribes may only accept scavenged drills, for all I know. I also cannot seem to find the post.. I'm guessing it was merged into another but I can't locate it.
As for NPC's - there will be NPC's in the wild (i.e animals, etc) however, there will be *none* to sell, buy, or give quests. (Totems will be used for player made quests)

Given the game background and setting I think beads or pebbles is a much more obvious form of currency. Especially when the developers want to expand the game into different regions using USD as a common currency would be much less obvious.
Question remains, do we need a developer based currency. I agree with Relandi on this. Because there are no NPC traders there is no need for game set prices and therefore a game set currency is not necessary. Most trade will start out as barter.
Of course when the community evolves and tribes and players start to specialize I expect some form of currency will develop naturally.

Kunra, this isn't forumfall. If you want to actually be a part of this community, you should change you're attitude quickly because these mods don't put up with immaturity for very long.

With the fact there are no NPC's to buy/sell from, there is no need for a common currency to be imposed by the developers. The USD might be in-game, but as I said, it might not even be used for anything more than decoration.
at this point in game I like the barter system =). It also makes this game unique
