Chapter 18 - Grouping

Grouping can be a very enjoyable experience. In addition tohaving someone to talk to while exploring, also having someone tohelp you fight. Grouping with people of different classes meansyou can somewhat balance out some of the class differences. Thefollowing are the commands for starting a group, talking to groupmembers and disbanding the group. Follow - The first part ofgrouping is to decide who will lead. The other members of thegroup type "follow [leader]". This means that when youare standing and the leader walks, you will follow. Some thingsmay prevent you from following, such as not being able to fly,not being able to pass door or the room the leader went into isprivate. When you want to stop following your leader, but want toremain in the group, you may recall, sleep, rest, sit or walkaway to another room. If you want to stop following your leaderand leave the group, type "follow self". Never follow aperson without permission! It is considered very rude. If aperson asks you to stop following them, stop following themimediately. Continuing to follow someone after being asked tostop is considered harrassment and will be treated as such. Youmay only follow a person who is either lower in level then you oris no more then ten levels higher then you are.

Group - The group command is used to start the group, checkgroup members report and to disband the group. When someonefollows you, you can add them to your group by typing "group[follower]". You may only group with people up to eightlevels above you or eight levels below you. To see the members inyour group, type "group". Any person in the group maytype "group" to see their own and their group membershitpoints, mana or blood points, movement and total experience tothat point. To remove someone from your group, simply type"group [follower]" again. This does not stop the personfrom following you though. Talk - You can talk to your group withgrouptell. To use type "gt " or"". This channel is seen only by thosein your group and you are able to use grouptell in noteroom andother quiet rooms.

Quit - Sometimes you may lead a group when a member goeslinkdead, and you do not want them to continue to follow you. Youcan quit the game to break your group, just type"quit". If you do not want them to leave the group, butwould rather not drag them around linkdead, you can move to aroom where they will be safe and recall. Make sure you do notenter that room again or they will start following again.
