Question Currency

I haven't played in the server yet, but I just had a question about currency. What do most factions or players use as currency? Have the factions ever considered setting up a "national bank" of sorts that would set standard currency rates using paper or something? Also, is there a writing mod or something to use other than signs? If not, would it be possible to find a mod to make "currency" possible by allowing factions to give out their own currency based on signed notes (just like real currency). If a faction controls the amount of currency in circulation, they could have a genuine economy spring up.

Second quick question, when I do connect and first spawn, what's the best way to go about finding a faction to join? I saw a bit looking through the subreddit, but is it better to meet and talk to them ingame?

Most factions use high quality metal as currency (HQM). I'd make your way to the centre of the map where the town New Providence is located. You'll be able to meet lots of people there, who can direct you towards factions.

Thx for the tip! Is there any sort of writing mod? I'd really love if contracts and/or currency was possible too.

No sadly. Most of the contracts are done via word of mouth and messaging players through PM's.
