Various subscriptions that do different things. A monthly that gives you some things every day, and a weekly that will auto-collect materials for you and complete tasks when you are not playing.
Encourages Anti-Social Behavior reported on May 25, 2022
One place of the game where you can earn a currency is called Endless Ocean, and other people can "raid" your warship(s) and take it over so you are no longer earning, and take a small amount of loot as a prize. However, the server I am on has the largest guilds making rules about raiding people on 25 of the 30 sections you can be on, and will get revenge for you, even if you are not part of their guild. I am unsure if other servers are like this.
