[quote]Like any other online game : - Clan TEXT chat (ingame) - Zone TEXT chat (ingame) - Possibility to opt-out / opt-in - LFG (patrols / public event / nightfall / raid)[/quote] Now that I've had a couple weeks in the game - I'm new - I can see the need for these even more strongly. I enjoy D2, but to make the most out of it, we need basic social features. There's a middle ground between all-chat all-the-time and the current eerie silence. To the above list, I'd add [i]- a Friends Channel and feature[/i] For me, that's huge. Most of my online friends come from other online games, and even if we have voice, we're used to text chat. It's great to have both, especially to keep up with friends who are playing but not necessarily doing the same activity as you. [i]- a bigger Clan limit[/i] New players like me spend the first part of the game without in-game contact. Clans focused on raiding don't want to use up slots on rising players. A bigger limit will let people join together as they gear up.
