You are looking at the game without many features working.
There will be a quest system, from which you will earn gold and items as rewards.
Also, there will be jobs at the tavern, where you can work for wages per hours and you will be paid in gold.
Also, upon reaching level 5, you will open your professions, from where you will earn gold, crafting items.
So... suffer now and help us clear the major bug and, in time, you will start seeing the features one by one.
