Yea, it was the same on an official server like it is now on dedicated one's, you know what I believe you lol. a dozen people who all know each others names meet in-game and talk through voip. You know why this is not a thing anymore. That was 200x now it's 2020 and we just got a ****load of new people playing this and NO you cannot talk to everyone on a server with external voip anymore, bc you don't know them and frankly possibly not everyone wants to talk to you. Times change, and you need dedicated servers for that particular experience now. And to come back to your rhetoric of "lost this and that" that's horrendously ridiculous to bloat out. Nothings lost, there will be that again, it's maybe "missing" but not "lost" and also last time I checked you can still log on NW with your warband buddies from when you were 11. Holy ****, this forum is aggressive.
