[2023] How far are you planning on taking this game?

Eco is a peaceful game around communication and society forming. We have no plans to ever add intentional PvP mechanics, weapons or war to the game. Any PvP that players may perceive in this game comes from the economical simulation and political conflict.

A crime system is only planned insofar that laws would no longer prevent actions, but the game would provide a profession that can investigate into violations instead to bring justice.

I'm sorry to hear that you personally had unfulfilling experiences, but I know tons of servers that have admins not intervene for anything at all or only based on clear server rules (including official servers). I'm also not aware of any serious community servers banning the usage of the law system, in opposite they make heavy use of it. I know it's still hard to find a really good server especially when tons of people open some at a new Update, but we'll improve that for the future with recommended servers and a better filter list. Nontheless your experience is not representative of all of Eco.

And that there would be no conflict is something that I hear for the first time. Typically players note it's too much of that for them. Maybe you want to find a server that is more suitable for you?
