I have been playing since the free weekend sometime Saturday. I have over 72 hours and well over 6 hours game time. I cannot chat or use the auction house. When I try it tells me you must have 72 hours of account and 6 hours of play time. Very frustrating to not be able to do those things as I level. 14 so far and cant interact. I did buy the game based on the free play but this is a pain.
