Maybe not everyone knows how to play (but you can find worthy opponents by chatting a bit), but not being able to log in and play at all is a real problem. I just finished playing. Log in and see how many games are already in progress. I wouldn't believe that no one is waiting for someone to join their one-on-one game, although I personally prefer playing with four players, and that's how I play. And of course, I had to coordinate with "locals." As for communication, I had normal conversations with people in the game. It's all very strange. Ultimately, it's a matter of taste...
