It's very obviously a chatbox made with Japanese players in mind. Y'know, with the devs being Japanese and Japanese requiring fewer characters to form coherent sentences overall (with each symbol being either a noun or a syllable). It's rather unfortunate for us, but hopefully they will change it for the foreign playerbase. And hopefully they'll do the same with the horrible mouse lag.
