I don't like PvP or combat, are there other activities in AG?
You can play it as a trader or a civilian by gathering resources and replenishing lands of your friends or other traders. You can harvest resources and craft supply crates and turn them into the trading post for money. The more resources you gather or replenish the higher you will be on trader leader-boards. Additionally, items will be introduced in the game which will allow you to gather better resources at a much faster rate.

In addition to gathering this game allows traders and gatherers to make use of the supply and demand curves at the trading posts.
