Overview
Trading is a crucial part of the SimPvP experience, it brings players closer together as a community as well as gives meaning to huge farms. Without trading on SimPvP, you're better off playing single player.
History of Trade
Early Trade on SimPvP
2011-2019
SOMEONE DO THIS ONE IDK I JOINED IN 2019
2019 Trade Renaissance
2019
Early 2019 saw a huge player boom. Which also meant lots of noobs were looking for traders to supply them and their novice groups. Players like Das_Dankgineer, ostrich1414 & clipchip would be the most active of traders during the most part of early 2019.
Although trading was already a common practice, the start of the first official Trade guilds would start appearing within 2019, for example Melon Boiz Inc.™ was established on April the 2nd. It wouldn't be until December when MBI™ would set up their discord and sell more than just melons.
AntHand & Caudices would follow suit short after, Establishing Caudices Goods™ along with a matching discord.
As MBI™ was a sister clan of COF which was a member of the Bloc for Clans, it offered discounts for it's members. Caudices would do the same too.
Impact of Intervention War on Trade
When the Intervention War started, most active traders were either allied with the BC or neutral throughout the war, leaving MBI™ & Caudices Goods™ to monopolise off the situation (this would later lead to competition and the start of the 2020 trade wars).
The BC also issued a trade blockade on the Axis clans (Dominion, Conspiracy) which was surprisingly successful. But this advantage balanced out as the Axis clans had almost full control of spawn.
2020 Trade Wars
2020
The noobs that joined in 2019 had now established themselves on the server during early 2020, leading to the rise of new Trade Guilds inspired by MBI™ & Caudices.
Some of these groups include Austonia (Early 2020) & Exultia (Mid 2020)
This didn't mean the two originals weren't without conflict. Despite being in the same Clan Union (BC) & still at war with the Axis Clans, MBI™ & Caudices Goods™ would often compete for customers, leading to price drops and hostility.
Francillian-Republican Proxy War
Early 2020 saw the most opposition of Lord1 to date, leading to the creation of The Republic. As part of The Republic, Exultia also opposed MBI.
In summary, Exultia sold as many products as they could at an insane price drop. This meant little to no profit, but also no business at all for MBI. Prices went as low as 1/32th of MBI's original price. This practice did little for Exultia, who saw no real benefit but hurt MBI's business for some time. A humorous video made by VetoTheNeato.
Trade's Golden Age
Late 2020-Now
Pre-Imperial War
After moving from 2B2T to SimPvP, GS Trading would be instantly recognized for their farm making skills and dedication. Within a few months they were already richer than the majority of the server, and were already one of the top trading guilds.
This would also be the time were Silk Road, the servers first free market was created.
Post-Imperial War
After The Imperial War, the lush peace on the server would lead the top traders to start working together and stop competing (to a certain degree). This would lead to the formation of the Trade Federation. Infamous scammers & pirates started to leave the server at this point, like Sellout9. Anti Piracy measures were put in place and people could report scammers & pirates. Even then some IDIOTS would still trade with convicted felons.
Currency
The DB (Diamond Block) is the unchallenged main currency of SimPvP and has been for years now, it's stable, can't be farmed and universally recognized. When netherite ingots were released on Sim, people expected to take the crown of main currency, alas the DB still reigns strong and will for a long time to come.
You could associate the DB's use in the Portals to its success as a currency.
Caudices PP & Fern Attempt
One of AntHands schemes of 2020 was the creation of new currency's to replace DB. Most prominently, the Poisonous Potatoes (pp) would rise and was widely used until it was revealed that PP farms could be made which would ultimately crash the market. He then tried again with ferns but his reputation was already hanging by a thread at this point.
