Please feel free to comment on this.
I am not very experienced in MMPOGs but i played a few for the last 4 years.
LOTRO was the longest one for 2 years.
I am at lvl 48 and i feel really alone in this game not because there are not enaugh
players around or not enaugh group events. In the contrary this game is realy was created mostly for group action and not in a very forcefull way but communication
between players is really spars. I use SAY most of the time for a few words but that is not realy ment for chat.
In other games there are 1 or 2 chat channels where you can follow what players are
talking about(i know sometimes it’s sealy) and you can ask questions,answer questions
form groups find friends discuss some aspects of the game etc.
Here that is missing(or i am a dummy and did not find it on the chat channels).
The Map channel should be one that would able players in the same zone talk to each other but i could never contact anybody there. Is it my Chat set up wrong or
just everybody in this game is new to chatting and they only use Say to communicate?
Even on the guild channel i noticed only 2 players knew that you have to turn chat on to be able to use the guild channel and they are never on so i still could’t talk with anybody either.
How you guys communicate? I am sure SAY is not ment for that.
Please feelfree to comment.

I tend to find /map conversations going on all the time talking about all sorts of stuff. I only tend to use /say when I want to say something only relevant to people near me.

Constant /map chatter in pretty much every zone all the time on my server. Granted in some zones they’re not saying much like in Sparklefly. For the most part that one is just “When’s the dragon?”

Not so much from Straits of Devastation on from what I’ve seen, probably due to the broken bits in those zones so people are going elsewhere.

Ok. So maybe my set up is not right? I enter /map and Map: comes on. Than i enter
my text:Hello everyone can you read this? But no answer and no chatter shows up
on the top. The only time i see chatter when i am in Say and there is some ocasional
chat on that channel.
So is it my server just very silent or i am missing something? It drives me crazy i can’t
find any communication and i can’t tell anybody about it. Trap22.

You can change what channels are displayed and in which tab—I suppose it is possible that you have /map turned off, but as this is not something I’ve fiddled with, I can’t offer any advice on the order of “click here, then here, then here to change the configuration”
