Odd Community

[Roguejm11]

I find this odd, because every group I am in people talk.

Most of time, when I am in a zone with 20+ people there is a conversation going on in ooc.

Just my 2c.

I find this odd, too. I always have ooc chatter when I need it because I start it if it's quiet. *shrug*

for me ooc usually happens when someone has a question. It is either answered immediately or there is some small discussion about it. During football season this changes and ooc is rampant with NFL team love/hate.

Honestly the only time I have to chat is when I am sitting or standing around doing nothing in game. Otherwise as a bard I am usually too busy twisting songs, changing targets, etc. to be able to to type or chat. Plus if you're in EC it easy to miss OOC chat with all the auction messages.

Guys, I'm saying useless things in ooc and nobody is replying to me. This community sure is odd.

Aspie much? Geeeze, the autism is high with this one.

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.

The population of P1999 is way more talkative and helpful than any other MMO community I've ever played in, even more than the original EQ IMO.

He'll when I'm playing or grouping , there is tons of chatter.
I, and those I associate with are quite social.
