This has to be married with the ability to exact punishment on players on your own team in a meaningful way. You also have to be able to regulate intra-faction communication effectively. While I think trash-talking is a necessary part of being emotionally invested in a game you have to have tools available to you to quickly and easily set up secure lines of communication with deliberate parties.
Chat capabilities really need to be expanded upon.
I happened to like their language system, although most people cheated and learned all the languages, having a system whereby text is tied to your races languages would be cool.
Or you have to devote skill points to learn other languages. For a fantasy game this would be used to great affect...as it makes alot of neat opportunities outside of the realm of combat.
