Your Friend List

By typing "/add [player]", or by selecting "Add Friend" once you target someone, you can request to add another player to your Friend List. Whenever one of your friends logs on or off, you will receive a notification. Also, whenever you view your Friend List, you can easily see your friends' level, class, and location, and sending them user-to-user messages and party invites is just a few clicks away!

* Tip: When adding friends (or inviting other players to your party or guild), be sure you use the correct capitalizations. Player names are case-sensitive.

Parties

Whether you are facing a challenge that is too large to conquer on your own or you just want to quest with some friends, forming a party is the solution. A party is a temporary partnership of up to eight players. To create one, select "Create" from the Party Window. You will be able to name your party and set a password. Later on, you can select "Settings" to modify these options.

Party members share gold and EXP for enemies slain in combat. When loot is found, party members will share it based on one of three methods:

• Free - Anyone can loot any corpse.
• Sequential - Party members take turns looting corpses.
• Random - Which party member is allowed to loot a corpse is determined randomly.

* Tip: If a party is not full, anyone can join it, even if you do not want them to, unless you set a password. If a password is set, players must either enter it in to join or else be invited by the party leader.

Guilds

Guilds represent a more permanent alliance between players. Initially, guild membership cannot exceed 30, but that limit can be raised to 60 if you level up. To create a guild, you must be at least Lv. 10 and visit a Guild Boss in your nation's capital.

The guild master is the leader of the guild, and only they can promote or kick guild members. The guild master and the officers all have the ability to invite new members and to withdraw items from the guild warehouse (anyone has the ability to deposit into the guild warehouse).

A guild can level up based on how many members it has and their experience levels. A guild also can gain ranks based on its members' Prestige and successes in PvP combat.

Behind many guild actions is a currency known as "Guild Points" (GP). These are acquired by members being online and also by members completing special guild quests, obtainable in your nation's capital.

Guild Rankings and Guild Bases

Calculated from total members' levels and the members' PvP rankings and Prestige. If your guild ranks high enough, your guildmates will be allowed to enter the highly-coveted guild bases, which in turn hold your guild warehouses and grant access to special guild training.

Also, you and your guild will at last have an area to congregate and talk about important guild matters (which may or may not include your own, private guild dance-off!). Guild bases are accessible in each nation’s capital, and rankings are re-established during the first maintenance of every month. There are three different base sizes, based on your guild's rank...

Additionally, talk to the guild bosses in any major town to access guild actions:
