Auction houses - here you can put your things up for sale, and players can bet on them or buy them out. Usually high level players browse them and they make a lot of moneyout of them. An alternate way of socializing is making emotes. Many of them are just for fun, but with people who don’t understand you, this can be the only way of communication.
