People don't talk much on POTC huh?
 

I've played many many mmporg games, and this is the only game where players NEVER TALK. Am I the only one who notices this?

Strange, i've had the opposite experience.

Played another Pirates MMORG and couldnt get anyone to talk to me even if I tried.

I think what your seeing is pirates busy at questing.. hang out on the busier servers at tortuga docks.. you'll probably find some in game conversation. :)

Yes, you are right. I was once in a crew and I couldn't get anyone to talk. I only get in game conversation when I am in a decent crew.

And you have to watch for those parental controls and the Speed Chat Plus... you may see no conversations at all if yours is turned on :)

Aye, the parental controls. I've had to turn on the "+" sign a lot lately to get people to see what I'm saying. You would have thought there would be less kids playing now that school has started.

I have experienced the same. Plus there is such a long list of things you can't mention in chat that I think some people just don't bother chatting.

no problem here really except the one that ask to be freinds and never talk, but there a lot of kids with the parental control on. but after all it is a pg game.

Now you guys are getting it.
Type one thing out three or four times, or just not say anything.

Not me
 

not me i am very chatty... even when i meet sum1 new...in fact.. guild master basically told me I was driving her nutz with Chat... LOL... oh well its a social game and i like to chat and joke around.. even use the plus sign to make sure im being heard if i get a nonresponsive person. Some times i cant hardley play 4 chatting...lol

people tend to talk in guilds and crew more than local chat it is easier to keep up one conversation there

its the parental controls. If youre under 13 you have parental controls. If you are 13+ then you must turn on the cross thing in your chat box to talk to the ones 13 and under. I REALLY HATE USING THAT THING!! you cant type anything when you have the cross on!

I believe this is still controlled by the primary account (parents account).

I have played with pirates under 13 that do not have such restrictions (because thier parents did not implement them on thier master accounts).

I am "underage" and I have a master account (myself) so I just unchecked it and now I can say anything but my friend can't

Mostly I just use Crew to talk to my wife and other friends when we are all online.

If I'm out and about, and someone asks a question or yells for help: "Pls help! Fly Trap killing me!"

I'll try to answer the question, or run over and kill the fly trap for them.

Having come from MOUL (Myst Online: Uru Live) Pirates is silent as a tomb when it comes to chatting and socializing.

What gets me is trying to find someone. Unless you know a person outside of POTC and agree to meet on a certain server, at a certain time so that you can add each other to your friends list, there is no other way to find friends, even if they've told you what their username is.

Some days, peeps are sooo busy questing, and then there are the ones who cant talk due to the controls. I accept friends who chat with me, and tend to dump the ones who dont. If you really want to chat with hords, try Tortuga, on the first server. If you are lucky, a lvl 40 tossing nades at midnight will chatter with you cause he is bored out of his mind with nothing else to do but await for Chapter 2. Get in a good guild. My guild, MercRaiders chats allllll the time. Smile*
