Group Mechanics Forming A Group To start a group, just click and hold the MOUSE 1 button on any player, and then select the Invite option from the radial menu. You can also type /invite [player' s first name] in the Chat Input bar to invite someone to your group. Joining A Group To join a group, you must first be invited. When you receive a message that you have been invited to join a group, simply type /join in your Chat Input bar.

A Decline option also appears on the radial menu of the inviter, connected to the Join Group option. THE GROUP LIST Once you form or join a group, you'll see a new element: the Group list. The Group list contains the names and HAM bars of every member of your group. If you target a group member (for healing, perhaps) , that character's Status box will be marked by a small white triangle. You can target group members by clicking on their Status box. The group leader's Status box always appears at the top of the Group list (but beneath your own HAM bars). If you target a group member, that character's HAM box will be marked by a white triangle.
