Explore the world, build settlements, trade goods and steal in Merchant, the real location based MMORPG.

In Merchant the real world is your playing field. You can build a trading post on 5th avenue, a lumberjack cabin on Cedar street or a stone quarry on Wall Street. Your iPhone is the caravan you can use to buy commodities from traders, take them with you when you move around in real life, and sell with a profit. And when you find a settlement from another player you can decide to trade or to steal.

Features:

• The real world is the playing field of Merchant. Claim locations you visit often and build settlements that produce the commodities you want to trade in.
• Upgrade your settlements: choose from over 50 different buildings each with their own special abilities.
• Expand your caravan as you get richer. Buy donkeys, horses, covered wagons, spies, thieves or one of over 20 different units.
• Explore the world and discover over 30 different kind of land types, from thick jungles, to deserts, to extinct volcanoes.
• Find rare commodities on your trips, bring them home and sell them for a profit.
• Earn achievements in one of the four guilds: the traders guild, the explores guild, the manufacturers guild or the thieves’ guild.
• Connect with your friends who play Merchant using Facebook Connect.

What people are saying

"I’m an addict. I take a different route to work, just to check out the prices for lumber in the trade post that’s just off the Rembrandtplein."
- Richard from Amsterdam
