Nobody is talking

[Soulreaver]

I like talking to random people I meet and barely anybody replies.

Generaly in new MMO's people can barely shut their mouth for 2 seconds and in this game somehow you are lucky if you read a message every 2 minutes.

Whats going on?

Yeah that might be it. I'm not lvl 20 and won't be for a while.

since the introduction of global chat, everything is about WTB / WTS / guild recriument / spam / ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about something.
social part is gone from mmos, its just join guild, run raids, grind - everything else is done via discord

No one is game enough to say anything lest they get banned for some minor thing they say.

Someone made a thread recently saying Discord killed sociability in games. They're right.

It's a solo P2W product.

Game doesnt require friends during levelingprocess, conpletly normal with social distancing mmorpgs of today

[Endeavor]

same as WoW or GW2. its the future of all mmo's it seems. even tho these games multiplayer game majority of its playerbase wants to be a lone wolf and after a while developers take notice and make the game more single player. Look at WoW for example people purposefully avoid making parties just solo levelling grinding etc. or GW2 same stuff.

[Soulreaver]

Haven't played WoW for probably 8 years.

The last MMO I played was New World and before that it was GW2 and in both games I was satisfied with player interactions.

Maybe this behavioural change happened in the last year or so.
Or it's indeed that people that don't mind p2w mechanics are also less social ingame.

One could probably have a look at BDO or LA to see how they compare in the social aspect.

This 100%.

If anyone has played an Amazon game (especially New World).
You will know they give out PERMANENT bans for the smallest thing.

It is actually funny how an MMORPG now reflects the real world.
People are too afraid too say anything in case they offend someone.
We are becoming more isolated and divided.
