Chat is a feature in-game which enables you to chat with players from different companies, clan members, or simply an outfit. If you cannot see your chat box (shown to the right), you can access it by clicking the chat icon. If you have disabled it under settings, you can enable it again in settings. The Chat can only be accessed in the game screen.
Types of Chat tabs
- Global Chat
Chat with people from all companies on your current server. Tab labeled Global.
- Company Chat
Chat with people in your company. Tab labeled [your company].
- Clan search Chat
Chat with people to get yourself accepted into a clan. Tab labeled Clan search.
- Newcomer Chat (US server only)
Chat with people that are new to the game, give some advice or two. Tab labeled Newcomer.
- Clan Chat
Chat with people in your Clan. (Tab only visible if you are in a Clan.) Tab labeled [clan name].
- Outfit Chat
Chat with people in your Outfit. (Tab only visible if you are in an Outfit.) Tab labeled Outfit.
Note: Chats ARE monitored and abusing these privileges to your own whims will get you banned. This includes things such as inappropriate language, talking about "wrong" (sexually inappropriate) things, and recruiting players to Clans outside of Clan search. Stuff such as lmfao, wtf, sh.it and over abbreviations and even f*** can give a big ban.
