I for one most definetely have to disagree with, and am actually somewhat offended by that statement. I am not the most social person in PJ99, and I don't have a recognizable name due to the fact that I make a name for myself with my online personality
...but my toon is only level 20, and I am almost fully magical-geared, due to soloing mobs that drop decent loot/coin..I don't think if I grouped constantly I would have been able to do this, due to the fact that sharing loot and items would be involved. And if you can group at low levels and do what I have done soloing, then I could only assume you became so close to somebody with a level 50 main, and bonded with them so much, that they logged in their main and gave you some hand-me-down-gear. Call me selfish, but honestly my main inititiave wasn't to group and make friends while playing this game, rather was making a character from scratch, and gearing him out with decent loot, all the while seeing if I could SOLO original EQ content, from level 1-50. As I said I'm only level 20, and I've been able to do that so far. Lot of deaths, and some frustration, I get lonely at times and want to group every now and then, but when alls said and done, I can do what I set out to do, and enjoy it.
While this is a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER game, this isn't a chat room. I can't understand why something is 'wrong' with somebody who enjoys soloing.

Uhh, if you are farming coin to buy gear then you are interracting with people. Also, this game is not exactly challenging unless maybe you are trying to solo a warrior to 50 at which point the challenge is staying awake as you sit for 30 minutes between kills.
I will never understand why in every single MMO a handful of people will always rage out about people having fun/having conversations about things that aren't necessarily related to the game. Even when the conversations aren't vulgar, sexual, or insulting anyones color, creed, religion etc someone will STILL get offended. If you are really THAT into RP and it's ruining your immersion, turn the channel off, it's called OUT OF CHARACTER for a reason. *shrug*
Also, it really is a chat room. The "game" aspect of any MMO is pretty lacking without the "chat room" aspect. Just saying.
