Hello Timlessyouare!
I'll try to answer each of your questions on how they relate to likely the best roleplaying game on the planet. Namely New Worlds Ateraan.
Not sure what this means, but if it means there is a bunch of stuff to play with for everyone to share, then NWA has it all for you. Equipment, Guilds, Armour, Weapons, epic items, pets, houses, ships, and on.
Definately. Even though there are over 100 players constantly on this game, each on has an integral and lasting affect on the community they roleplay with as well as the world at large. A caveat of this is that you are only as integral into the world and community as you make yourself.
Incredibly important and identifiable politics. Economics that mean something from slavery to auctions to religious and merchantry guilds where economics play integral roles.
All roleplay in this game is important and effects the outcome of religion, politics, culture, socialism, and warfare. Roleplay that can lead to death, punishment, social and political outcasting or incasting. NWA is a fast and indepth game. You have to be on your toes when dealing with 10 to 30 people in one room roleplaying, but there is also a strong element of slower, controlled roleplay where emotes can be more in depth and poignant, however, nonsensical posturing for the sake of paragraph emotes that mean nothing more than someone leaning on a wall is rare in NWA. Roleplay and emoting mean something.
There are two guilds specifically built for roleplay and crafting in the game. You can build houses, familiars, ships, and some other items on your own, but these guilds go into more depth. The fun of the game is that each guild relies on other guilds in some cases and even other cities or religions in other cases.
This is an area I have to say matters to NWA. We are a roleplay enforced game and the theme is built around a book that you can read from the website. This gives the game an indepth and rich background and history that only enhances (not hinders) roleplay and involvement.
There is nothing more powerful in the game than social interaction (building of alliances, friendships, and communities) within NWA. You can become powerful, but if you stand alone you may find that your power is irrelevant. This is a game of interaction and you will be a better player for it.
On an out of character (ooc) level it is one of the most helpful and friendliest. The staff, guides, and players make up a large enjoyable community. Most who have played for at least a week or two find no other place like it.
I think if you try the game you will find intrigue, intensity, enjoyment, and fun. If not, good luck on your search, hopefully you will find your home.
