You talk to friends, not with strangers. I'm always the first person to break the ice with anyone on this server... I've been here since inception and it boils down to people either want to talk or they don't.

When you start a conversation in a zone or in a pickup group, you're essentially making smalltalk at a party. Whether or not that smalltalk develops into actual conversation or friendship or a small group of friends is totally up to the situation. It simply can't happen every time.

Sometimes small talk falls flat, and that's okay. Most of the time, and I mean 99% of the time, people read what you say and respond to themselves and don't say anything. They just simply don't know how to respond, and that's fine.

The reason for this, is because the average person here is an antisocial weirdo that doesn't know how to navigate any kind of complex or uncomfortable social situation what so ever Dude, you're playing a 15 year old elf simulator. Just imagine the kind of person that gets interested in that. It's the exact kind of person who just types 'lol' or remains completely silent instead of answering extremely basic questions, for fear of being rejected. It's the type of person who simply can not process conversation, especially over text.
