It's a crazy world here... but oh so fun.
My advice on getting folks to chat with you is to be patient and treat others the way you would like to be treated.
I think of it like fishing.... you cast your line out there (pun intended) and see if you get a nibble. Some days you do... most days you don't. Another tip is to post here in the forum. Get involved and make friends here and also in the game.
But be aware... according to the laws of AChat (they're mystical laws) this is what happens:
