Fast forward to today (played the game non-stop); I'm level 34 and I haven't seen a single person speak in General chat.
Is there a general chat? Why is everyone so silent? I've visited every crowded town in the game and couldn't find a single person speaking in chat. Tried talking in chat myself and couldn't foster a reply.
