How does this game have such a fantastic community?

One thing I've always wondered is why it is, in general, so quiet in towns? Aside from /sh for doing things, there is no /say talk.

Generally most of the talk is going on in LS chats. It's most comfortable for players to speak with their own LS members. Try joining 3 or 4 different socials like myself and your log will never be empty.

LOL yeah Rau, join more social shells :P. If FFXIV was a prom, Rau'd be the Prom King.

Rau, I think it's 'quiet' because well, it's a JA game first and just having a random conversation in the middle of the street that doesn't effect others, is considered a little rude. Also, we've had people leave or server for getting picked on for 'shouting all the time' even though all they were really trying to do is train noobs on Iffy/DH for example.
