Just curious as to why no one ever seems to talk to each other or chat in towns. All I see in the chat log is people selling stuff. No one talking about finding a cool area or something out of the ordinary. Nobody ever talking about builds.

Why is that? It seems these kind forums are the only places you can chat about GW stuff.

Even if you try your sentences will be lost in between all fast trading! I wish traders would use the trade channel!

Everyone went to GWG and started chatting there instead.

What conversations? I play this game with the chat turned off. I only chat in teams, but that gets spammed too with "Im wielding a toothpick and a spoon!" or with "I am lvl 1 and 29% on my way to become the best spamming lvl 2 in this game!"

I know many players have moved to some smaller place to chat like Fisherman's or Maguuma Stade. I mean see how peaceful there is.. it's like heaven..

It is impossible to talk properly in bigger cities with local chat spamming so much that you get epilepsy in 3 seconds.

You forgot to mention Marhan's Grotto. Yea,I prefer Fisherman's Haven to hang out in and Marhan's Grotto to chat in and my guild hall to relax in. lol

Seriously though if only people would use the trade channel. Also,I always keep it to where I can't hear trade chat because barely anyone uses it.

theres always some cool people hanging around the boat doing very little but chatting.

never enough people there to attract traders or gamers.. and sometimes gaile comes on for a chat also.. then it just goes mad xD

And at the great temple of balthazaar now that I come to think about it..

so I guess the answer is that people do chat, but they just chat at different places now xD

The times i visit the random arena's, it's filled with people flaming others about builds, proffesions and names

So i'm not going there to chat with people. Some conversations there are quite funny, though disturbing

People trading Chuck Norris quotes, and excited pubescents declaring how another male's on screen avatar is hot. Does this actually constitute chat?

I figure you are on AM server?

Chat in big towns such as LA, Ascalon, Droks, etc. has been banned by the evil trade spammers

Dracus Steelbow · Apr 18, 2006, 12:07 PM // 12:07

Well, there is always alot of cool people that hang around ToA either normal dis when we dont have favor(alot......) or int dis when we do. We tend to talk about best experiences, builds, crap having to do with UW, FoW though

well if you did that in a crowded/big outpost you tend to get called 'noob' and flamed by a number of people =/ and some people just seem to like starting arguments that way. but from time to time in LA dis 2 (euro server) i've seen groups of people by the fountain thing just chatting, though it's usually about the most random crazy things, have also seen a bunch of people taking the piss out of the trade spams with 'WTS wife/girlfriend' etc

i've been to RA various times, and pretty much half the time there is someone shouting about how someone else's build sucks or how they single-handedly crushed the other team without anyone's help etc.

it's just easier to chat within your guild, team or with friends because you're less likely to attract the stuck-up arrogant players looking for a fight, and it's also easier to keep track of the conversation in busy places.

lol I think I'll try that next time I'm in LA or Ascalon. Just try to get a whole bunch of people flooding the channels with gibberish so the trade spammers can't get a word in edgewise.
