I'd just like to say something, here... The removal of the General chat does have its pros and cons, as would any other decision made to update the game, but it isn't necessarily all about what's being argued about here. I mean, in my opinion it isn't.
Anyway, to a large amount of us, the General chat was some new way to break out of our shells for once; we were able to actually speak out and enjoy the company of our fellow roleplayers. Every time I'd log onto Feral Heart, I'd make my way into Fluorite just to have a few laughs with the regular General-goers. Granted I didn't speak much, but when I did, I felt like I was finally apart of something.
If you really think about it, General was an iconic thing to Feral Heart, and to take it away would be like ripping the heart out of a wolf and expecting it to go on living like normal. It just doesn't work.
Most of the wonderful people I've had the greatest chances to call my friends were made on the General chat, to be honest.
Another point to be made, about the whole "you'll be able to socialize more" thing. You can't simply force people to socialize. There are those people, like myself, who are afraid of saying anything to some random stranger. It's a pretty tough thing to adapt to, let alone be forced into without any warning. I would know, too. I'm sure a lot of people would feel the same way.
But, you know, I'm just another whiny face in the crowd. Same old story, same old ways. If this makes some sort of difference to anyone, that'd be great. If it doesn't, oh well.
I hope the friends I'm losing from all of this will eventually come back..
