Question

the box is empty, its there, but nuthin shows up in it.

Answer 1

You may have been muted, or the game is having troubles, because this is happening to others too.

Answer 2

A-you have been muted
B-You have timed out of the game. Since it is an online-only game, your chat box is shown to all players (except whispers of course) So, if you aren't connected, u can't share your message.
