Asherons Call: IGN's Asheron's Call 2 Hands-On

IGN has just posted a fairly lengthy hands-on preview for Asheron's Call 2.

[I]Adding to the tenant of putting the development of the world in the hands of the players will be an entirely player-run economic system. There will be no weapon smiths, no barkeeps, no armorers -- as a matter of fact, there will be no NPCs in the game at all except for the beasts that inhabit the world. Since there will be no NPC-run shops whatsoever, this means the players themselves will be responsible for item creation, selling, and trading.
