I completely agree with the OP.  He describes the game perfectly. 

The lack of community in this "mmo" is stunning, I couldn't imagine how it could be worse.  No general chat to speak of and no one has ever, EVER responded to area chat when I try to get a group together (and I'm on a high pop server - azezel).  The interface for communication is horrible, but I'm assuming they fix it in the near future.  I'm not done playing this game just yet.  The pvp is fun, at least in scenarios where its harder for chaos to use its numbers advantage.

By community you mean wow-esque garbage on general chat?

CHUCK NORRISSSSSSSSS

 

Does the above, scintillating, "community chat" make you feel warm inside, and the lack of this crap make you feel alone in the WAR world?

It's better than an empty chat log.

Oh wait, it's not.

Nice try.

Free flowing communication is essential in an mmorpg, especially one that is reliant upon said community working together. Assuming that general chat is only for useless crap is idiotic in the extreme. What do you talk about in your guild channel? What do you talk about to other people in real life, or do you? Oh yeah, there are also the practical purposes I have described before-hand that you willfully choose to ignore.

If they don't fix the chat interface, that alone will kill the game. It doesn't matter if the game is heavily populated or not, what matters is how it feels to the players. And if it feels like the game is empty, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Why the hell do I need or even want to know what someone, else where in the game world with whom I have no connection or intrest, was doing in real life? 

Maybe your guild chat reflects the total toss you get in WoW Barrens chat? /shrug. I chat to guildies on guild chat, party members in party chat and warband members in warband chat. I have had no compulsion or need to reach out to the server and share my chuck norris jokes with them.

maybe you ought to stick to chat rooms for cybering.

Nikoliath, it's over. For all intents and purposes you have lost, and you decided to throw any kind of presentable face you had relative to the forum here down the crapper.

Look at your post.

please please PLEASE! people get onto your accounts and add what you think should be improved apon in the feedback button on the help section ingame.

I know theres alot that could be done to make this game a better one but my voice alone means nothing ...BUT! if we all fill there feedback boxes this game WILL get better so while you talk how it should be better here, please do so ingame where the CSR's to developers will get the message.....

or at least post your thoughts on a forum where developers talk back like in warhammeralliance.com.

While I am deeply sympathetic with you and agree with your cause, the irony of what you just said in this sentence made laugh.

Thats the ironic part. They need an official forum.
