Cross-Server Interaction & Other Major Flaws: This game is far too lonely

[kotoyoseru]

Whilst the world around me is wholly engaging and really delivers a sense of a living, breathing, developing world, due to the fact that is a lack of general chat the game has fast become a rather lonely experience. I've little chance of making many friends within the game itself, and in the event that I do, well, tonight that actually happened.

I've just come out of Haukke Manor, which we failed by the way (the tank didn't have a clue what he was doing), and whilst I was within the dungeon I quickly become fast friends with the two DPS characters. Turns out that we shared many interests; we were all ex-WoW veterans, anime fans, gamers, shared a love of the Final Fantasy franchise, and it even turned out that I lived very close to one of them in real life!
