As players gain knowledge/experience, they'll take on more and more powerful bosses and learn all the Lore of every planet. Guilds will strive to gain territory and dominion over resources and commodity markets. The devs also plan some intermittent asteroids, which will be associated with cosmic events and may grant participants rare powers. Meanwhile, most of us will be just trying to run the farm or smithy or business, day to day, and not get too killed when they go out looking for adventure.
