Yoshi-P! The increased player count has nothing to do with chat. It was the GARO event! The armors, mounts, and achievements that required you to play Feast and win Feast. If unlocking chat was truly the reason why more people play, how come Frontline 72-man has even faster queues than Feast: 8v8 Unranked when Frontline has zero chat restrictions???

Please bring back chat. It is not chat bringing players back. It's the rewards. As well as the 4.0 PvP overhaul.
