Mission

The Goods mission is to assist citizen retention in Egypt by facilitating trade. The Goods' special concern is to trade items to new players and soloers that they are unable to produce themselves. Of course the more goods we have the easier it is for us to supply people with the goods they need, when they need them.

Facilitating trade isn't just about large trades or high-priced items. Nearly every newcomer who enters Egypt winds up needing supplies, often in small quantities. We minimize the time and effort involved in trade by providing a simple self-correcting pricing system for all generic commodities.

History

The Goods is a not-for-profit trading company, run by volunteers. In Telling One, The Goods was founded by Baf who was inspired by the Traders Bank of Phoenicia Commodity Exchange. It was a qualified success, limited mostly by the cost in time and effort of transporting materials to and from the relatively remote location in the North of Egypt (first in North Valley of the Kings and then in North Cat's Claw Ridge). In Telling Two, The Goods moved to a central location in Red Sea Oasis and became more successful than we ever envisioned. In Telling Three, The Goods once again moved to be in a central location in Seven Lakes. For Telling Four, it operated in north Shabbat Ab, near the School of Harmony. In Telling Five, it was located in Alcyone, west of the Chariot Stop. In Tellings Six and Seven, since a central location had proved efficient, we settled in River Plain, close to the Chariot Stop.
