    Often times I get put into the less populated instance of a map which deprives me of browsing the local chat for any party announcements being made in other instances. While Im not too sure whether regional chat gets through the instance barrier, the fact remains that it is one of the most unused chat in the game. This issue could be taken of either by:
    A) Make players use the regional chat more.(I don't know how this can be done but a start can be showing the speech bubbles on the lower left corner when the chat is minimised and showing regional chat in the local chat page like all the other chats.)
    or,
    B) Allow local chat to be seen by player in all the instance of a map.

    The regional chat is (in theory) supposed to cover all maps in the region so (in theory) should do what you are suggesting. It does not however function the way it should and therefor; is the ignored/unused channel.

    Learning the workarounds to malfunctions, shortcomings and bugs in this game is part of the growth. It is something you just learn to do instead of trying to get it to be as logical/intuitive as it should. Sooooo, as an alternative, if you find yourself lonely in one of the cities and know another instance should be more populated, do a teleport and it will reassign your instance.

    Unless it was opening a new instance because all the other ones were really full. In that case, you may not get out, but others will likely be on their way in... hopefully.

    In that case you will suffer from loneliness
