There's a Sevillian Market led by players, only players and guess what...it's working without any problems.

Now player markets are a thing, Also map politics. Factions vs factions, If your friends like pvp they would love the idea of stories of huge raids and faction warfare. That is what got me really into this game when I started playing.

I love this game because of its complexity.
You can gather Clay to make a Klin and transform the Clay into bricks to make a Smelter, then Mine ores and put them into the smelter to make Iron, then use that Iron to make an Anvil and a Blacksmith's Hammer and start making Metal Gear (and start doing some not-really-Phantom Pain on your enemies)

I love the building System and the progression, I love that you can start claiming your zone, then claim a whole village and settle them with nearby players, and when you are strong enought, even claim a Realm and give bonus to those who choose to live inside it.

And also the best thing, is that with a party of friends who play together, you can assign roles and become the best in your role, depending on the others, for example one could avoid raising Combat stats to raise Smithing and start making powerful gears for your warriors who build only Combat stats and not crafting ones, while your farmer cultivate high-quality crops and your Tailor makes awesome gilding on your equipment, and a Hunter get high-quality skin and food by skinning and butchering the enemies killed by your Warriors.
These are just few examples, I love that, but the problem is that many people want easy games like Overwatch instead of complex ones like this...but complex mechanics is that make a game awesome, because the more complex they are, the better they are.

to sum this game up using buzzwords: Hafen is a survival sandbox with permadeath. the distinguishing factor that sets Hafen apart is the lack of developer generated content; i.e. no npcs, no pre generated towns. every tree cut, house built, and stone thrown is directly caused by a user.

the game can be broken down into a few categories of activities
Exploring
Foraging
Farming
Crafting
Building
Combat

Together these six systems work together to allow users to progress from stone-age hunter-gatherer to full blown political landscapes in a matter of months
mechanics are unique and rewarding, encouraging players to participate with these six systems pretty evenly.

Sandbox survival/crafting/citybuilding game with open pvp, full loot, and permadeath. I think this is summation of note feature.
