A PLAYER-DRIVEN ECONOMY

LHP's businesses are designed to work with each other. Hunters supply meat, farmers grow ingredients, lumberjacks process timber, miners uncover ores, blacksmiths refine metals and businesses turn those resources into finished goods.

Rather than every business being completely self-sufficient, trade with other players, build supplier relationships and create an economy driven by the people of Lost Hopes Peak.

And these are only some of the lives waiting to be built. Your job may earn your money — your character and their story are entirely up to you.
