COMMUNITY
Playing in a MMORPG means that you will step into a community and be a part of it. You need to learn how to use the different tools/systems available for that.

1. CHAT
As every online game now, you can chat with other players for different purposes:

Requesting help
Trading
Role Playing
Talking about game mechanisms
Etc…

As you can see from the screen above, there are a few tabs in the chat window for different channels:

World : any players regardless their position will see what is written in there (messages appear in blue) – needs ! before your message. To be able to write on World channel, your character must be at least lv. 20
General : only players in the surroundings will see what is written in there (messages appear in white)
Party : only players from the same party can read what is written in there (messages appear in green) – needs # before your message
Guild : only players from the same guild can read what is written in there (messages appear in purple) – needs % before your message
Trade : this channel should be used for trading purposes (messages appear in dark blue) – needs $ before your messages

Use the chat with care and respect to the others. Any behaviour issue can have consequences on your account. Chat channels rules can be found on Forum.

You also have specific emotes you can use in game to show your current mood to other players.

You can see them by opening the “Control” window (Alt + T).
