But one con about joining a party is that the exp that one can gain by killing a creature is lowered.
[edit] Chat
There are 5 different chat channels: Note: Instead of typing the selected symbol to chat in a channel, a user has the option to use an automated chat type.
World:- By typing an asterisk before a message allows the message to travel to the world channel. This channel allows players to chat to each other where ever they are in the game as long as they are in the map. i.e. people in the deep blue use the world chat to talk to people in the deep blue.
Local:- If the first character the user types into the dialogue box is a letter, the messages sent can be read by near by players. By typing in the local channel, the chat is more directed at the people near them as a speech bubble appears above the person who typed it.
Guild:- When one types and places an % as the first character, the messages will only be sent to the user's guild members.
Party:- ! is the symbol to type to one's party. When one uses it or when another party member uses it, the messages will be highlighted in the chat box allowing more attention from the party members.
Trade:- Many users type ^ before they chat allowing them to chat in the trade channel. The channel is meant to let users to trade, sell or buy items. The message will be read by all users in the world.
