Since some of us use service beacons to pay friends, will we ever see a better option to directly pay another player? As in, maybe I'm a pirate holding them up for a fee, or an option to send a beacon privately to people on your friends list?

Funny you bring that up. We are literally working this quarter on a player trading app, which I'm so excited about because it's the beginning of being able to trade items and things like that. However, it will be limited to money to start. I don't know if people are aware, but we've kind of focused on this friends and social aspect of our game again this quarter, kind of trying to bring that back up to speed here. In my opinion, player trading is a huge part of that, right? It's just the social interaction of, "Hey, I got this, I'll give it to you for this." With our physical inventory, it's definitely going to come with some restrictions as far as item trading, maybe being in the same place as somebody else. You'll be able to essentially wire money to somebody anywhere in the universe though. So you could just send a gift to your buddy and they don't have to be on the same server. It's going to be friends list driven. So if you have them in your contacts, shoot them a payment and there you go.
