If you play on PC, you should know that the multiplayer is broken indeed, I think even more than on Xbox, since most of the Souls community is on PS3, thanks to Demon's Souls. Otherwise I would state that the problem is with you internet connection, since I still get a fair amount of summons, even with DSII out. Well, Dark Soul has a story, and the so-loving lore actually exists, but I think you're not paying attention to it. The souls games have a different way of telling the story, since the game has almost no cutscenes. You have to pay attention to what's around you, to the NPCs dialogues and, most importantly, the item descriptions - they are the most important source of lore DS has. If you don't do these things, you should change your habits while playing. I know some people hate this way of story-telling, but is the way that From Software is used to do. I was feeling pretty lost during my first days of playing, too, and this still happened with Demon's Souls and with Dark Souls II, but until the late game a lot more was making sense. When you get the feels of the background of every character, the settlement, the enemies and the tragic and dark story the game holds, you will realise how rich Dark Souls' lore and atmosphere are. Everything in the game has sense and a motive to be there. Just be patient until you find yourself more confident with the game, and search the internet if you really need it, since it's only human to commit a sin.
