    Where is the social part

    Ok so the game have be out for quite a few months(almost a year) but what happened to the social part of MMO`s ?
    I have been a member of quite a few guilds(FC`s) but it`s always the same doesn`t matter how many people are on it`s always dead silent, rarely anyone ever says anything in guild chat( the same on the Linkshells).
    Even the bigger FC that I have been a part of that normally have 20/30 on you hardly see anyone speak.
    I remember a few years ago when you log on even if you were part of a small guild with 15 member total everyone was always talking about something not to mention the bigger ones which was totally crazy since you hardly could follow the conversation.
    Is it because the games changed or was it the time ?

    It sounds more like your just in the wrong FC, one I'm in is extremely social and even when just a few on the chat is hard to keep up with sometimes.

    It's not exactly the game, it's the FCs you've been in.

    Is it possible that no one is talking because the majority just happen to be on a TS/Mumble server?

    I know my FC is usually quiet in game because we all tend to just speak to each other rather then type anything out.

    Always remember the Silver Rule:
    "Treat others as they treat you!" ...or something like that.

    100% this! most of the FC is usually on mumble talking and we always encourage others to jojn us from the FC! some don't like too and like to keep to themselves

    same here. tho more ppl in my fc speak in fc chat. all have access to that.
    some of us, like me, do not want to talk to ppl on vent for whatever reason i may have.
    i hate feeling forced or outside my comfort zone. my fc doesnt do that but encourages me..i may someday. ^^;
    also, this game is not very social friendly.
    you have to be a in a fc coz most things do not require any talking in the game lol. u can essentially
    run all content w/o talking. im very picky with fcs but i think i found my home one.
    you just gotta hop around a bit and find one that suits you.

    Answer is: VoIP
    Also this isn't FFXI, were everything is slow enough for you to type as things are happening.
    Also take into consideration that it is harder for those that use controllers to text chat.

    So if you aren't willing to compromise and find a way to communicate with other players than you are just as much in fault.

    The social part relies on you. You have to make an effort to be social in modern MMOs these days. But, it also sounds like your FC is either all in TS or everyone is just antisocial and you need to find a new FC.
