I've just started playing (EU, Defiant) and I feel pretty lonely. I've seen like 2 other players pass me by, and by default there doesn't seem to be any kind of global chat channels since I have not heard anyone say anything. Seeing near-zero player activity in the first hours of playing makes me feel like I wasted money on a game no one's playing anymore. Any pointers to some chat channels that have some actual chatter going on? Even the Help channel looked dead.
