Groups

 Groups are an essential aspect to this multi-faceted, intricately detailed game. Using features such as the town crier, or the in-game messaging and forum systems, a group can be created (followed by recruiting additional group members), or simply seek out and join someone elses populated and experienced group. My Group Your group travels with you and fights by your side in the perilous dungeons and quests you'll embark upon. They offer support such as defensive/offensive boosts to skills, or healing abilities for you and other group members. Although the amount of enemies will increase as the group gets larger, you will be attacking on multiple fronts while supporting each other. You can send items directly to group members by selecting the item's link to its specific page and using the drop-box to select a recipient. Group members offer experience! In my case, its absoluetly the greatest resource and benefit of having a group! : ) This is also a very important part of the multiplayer experience; it's like a virtual in-game family of friends, who will boost you along on your sojourn to become a legendary hero! Group Storage &amp; Group Funds Group storage is another benefit of belonging to a group of players, rather than questing alone. As dungeons are cleared and quests are completed, items - both powerful and common/ordinary - will be found and accumulated by you and your fellow group members.  Players may put items into group storage (or the treasure vault [similar storage unit]) which can then be requested and auctioned off for much better prices than one finds in the Bazaar's  Marketplace.        *  For example, as an archer I buy arrows that non bow-wielding characters use at a fraction of the price  * *     of the marketplace sales offer. *    Group Funds can be accessed after 7 days of being a member of a group. Deposit gold and be a model of selflessness and philanthropy, or withdraw a reasonable amount of gold to give you those few extra coins for supplies and gear! Each actions offers the option to give a description of why you donated or withdrew gold.
