Find the silence very odd

I've played a lot of MMOs, including FFXI, and really find the silence rather eerie. There is so little chat, is no one playing when I am (Australian time) or most are treating this as a solo game?

on some serves the population got low. You should join some LS if you want more interaction
(you can join more than 1 LS btw)

There is no Barrens Chat. RAGEQUIT!

Some of the reasons theres so little chat is because there is no auto attack yet and the timer while crafting doesn't allow it or you'll botch your synth. No search feature also makes it hard to team up. Also not as many people are still playing since launch.

Everyone talking on Vent,TS2/3 or mumble lol when i play beta i was like wow... no one talk maybe because ppl are beta testing but it the same in release most LS do talk a lot tho.

What the hell are you talking about? Its easy to type while crafting and there IS a search feature and IMO its a better search than 11. The only problem is that no one uses it.

lol this search feature sucks so bad and typing while crafting is sloppy. You can either try to type what you want to say before the timer is up and end up with only half of what you typed out posted or you can wait till your done with your synth and make whats on your mind seem like an afterthought to everyone else.

You can't even search names can you?

Also people will most likely start typing more once we get auto attack. At least I will :)

It's not so bad once you know how to use it, although nobody bothers because it takes too long to set up.

OMG stop with this nonesense -.-'

I've reached rank50 with my lancer and I were always able to chat, no1 is gonna kill you if you stop spamming for a few seconds (also because if you spam normal attacks you're not helpful AT ALL)

I've reached rank50 carpenter and if I couldn't chat while grinding I would have already killed myself.

The only reasone for the silence is the fact that always more people is quitting the game, even those that enjoied the gameplay are quitting for the lack of contents and the fact that the servers went down for a few days gave them the deathblow.
When the servers where more populated it wasn't this quiet.
