91=head3 How can I communicate with other players?
92
93There are five 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 uh, that anchovis almost killed me
110
111=item shout <message>
112
113This is like C<chat>, but "louder". Everybody will get your message in red
114in their C<Chat> tabs. You should not use C<shout> unless you are in an
115emergency or there is something really important to be said, otherwise you
116risk being ignored by people.
117
118Example:
119
120 sh I am stuck! can anybody let me out?
121
122=item say <message> (short: C<s>)
123
124This command can be used to talk to NPCs (without going through the NPC
125dialogue window), but all players anywhere on the same map can hear you as
126well.
127
128Example:
129
130 s good that schmorp cnanot hera us here!
131
132=item tell <playername> <message> (short: C<te>)
133
134This is your prototypical two-way, private, chat channel. You can talk to
135any other player that is currently logged in, and only he can hear you.
136
137=item gsay <message> (short: C<gs>)
138
139The group say command sends a message to every member of the party/group
140you are in. This is useful when playing in a team, to avoid cluttering the
141chat channel.
142
143=back
144
145=head3 Can I form parties? Which benefits does party-play have?
146
147You can form I<new> parties using the C<< party form <name> >> name
148command, and you can join I<existing> parties using the C<< party join
149<name> >> command. There are other party commands, use C<help party> to
150find out more.
151
152The main benefit of party-play is sharing experience: All experience you
153gain is distributed to all party members accoridng to their level (people
154with twice the level as you gain twice as much experience).
155
156This is great for training skills you are bad in, but somebody else is
157good in, and of course vice versa!
