Communication

[EveK]

Shout is zone wide. Many activities, however, take place in more private instances. If you specifically want a traditional large field zone experience, though, you may enjoy the level 70 Eureka areas. Otherwise, activities like FATEs, side quests, crafting, and gathering are all done in open field areas where hundreds of people could converse via shout if they so choose. Also, linkshells (and, as said, free company) function across all zones. That way, you can still chat with hundreds even when in a dungeon and such. It's also worth mentioning Novice Network. It also functions across zones, although it's intended to be a place for new players to get advice from veteran players; as such, chatter is not its primary intent - to join, though, just ask a mentor to invite you (possibly via the shout channels we just mentioned).
