91=head3 How can I communicate with other players?
92
93There are four commands you can use to talk to others. All of them can
94be entered by just typing them in, followed by the message, followed by
95C<Return>, e.g. C<chat hey guys, what's up?>. If you have a I<tab> open
96in your message window you can also just type a text in there followed
97by C<Return> (this is especially handy as C<Return> also activates the
98current chat tab as well).
99
100=over 4
101
102=item chat <message> (short: C<c>)
103
104The most-used communications command. Whatever you I<chat> will end up
105in the I<Chat> tab of everybody else who is currently logged in.
106
107Example:
108
109 c I am stuck! can anybody let me out?
110
111=item say <message> (short: C<s>)
112
113This command can be used to talk to NPCs (without going through the NPC
114dialogue window), but all players anywhere on the same map can hear you as
115well.
116
117Example:
118
119 s good that schmorp cnanot hera us here!
120
121=item tell <playername> <message> (short: C<te>)
122
123This is your prototypical two-way, private, chat channel. You can talk to
124any other player that is currently logged in, and only he can hear you.
125
126=item gsay <message> (short: C<gs>)
127
128The group say command sends a message to every member of the party/group
129you are in. This is useful when playing in a team, to avoid cluttering the
130chat channel.
131
132=back
133
134=head3 Can I form parties? Which benefits does party-play have?
135
136You can form I<new> parties using the C<< party form <name> >> name
137command, and you can join I<existing> parties using the C<< party join
138<name> >> command. There are other party commands, use C<help party> to
139find out more.
140
141The main benefit of party-play is sharing experience: All experience you
142gain is distributed to all party members accoridng to their level (people
143with twice the level as you gain twice as much experience).
144
145This is great for training skills you are bad in, but somebody else is
146good in, and of course vice versa!
