Ok I am not a complete noob when it comes to MMOs however I am a new player on this game and I am really confused on how one communicates between players with in the game. I understand that tells, yells, guild chat ( or what you call FC ) all work. However their does not seem to be a way for anyone to communicate out side of these systems of talking. Like their is no server wide or area chat channel.

How does one ask a group of players questions with in the game? I know their is like some kind of "novice network" but I have no idea how to join the channel its on. I feel like a complete dumb ass but I am really enjoying this game but with some things I think this game really does not use common sense.

SO what am I missing here.
