What is the chat?

The chat is the main place for communication across players inside the game. The chat is useful in many ways, such as a good way to make new Friends, discuss about the game, ask questions, collaborating with teammates, and many more things are all possible via the chat. As long as it does not go against the chat rules, players are free to discuss about whatever they choose.

  • The chat is available to all players' above the Rank of IconsNormal 03.png Gefreiter.
  • The chat room is constantly maintained under surveillance by a group of Helpers - the Game moderators.

  • To message a specific player, click on their nickname and hit "Write".
