Meeting other players

Choose a channel

DFO chat separates messages by audience. /world or /g reaches everyone online; /region or /r reaches your region; /local, /l, /say or /s reaches nearby players. /party and /guild stay with those groups. Trade and LFG are opt-in: use /join trade or /join lfg to listen and speak there, and /leave trade or /leave lfg to leave one. The chat panel shows the channels available to you.

Find a group and travel together

Post in LFG to look for companions, then invite players from the Social panel. A party can hold 8 accounts including you. Invitations expire after two minutes. Each member retains their own quest state when a shareable quest is copied to them; questline steps cannot be shared.

When several party members fight the same foe, recent attackers count toward the shared encounter's scaling. Renown from a kill is not divided among the party. For a journey to the leader, see Party travel later.

Keep control of contact

/block, /unblock and /blocked manage who can reach you through chat, requests and invitations. A block hides that player's lines and requests from you; the other player is not told. Use /report <name> or a chat line's Report action for player conduct. /bug opens a private developer report form.
