`
`Chapter III
`Playing Together
`
`In World of Warcraft, interacting with other players is
`optional. You can reach the level cap without ever joining
`forces with another player, without even saying hello to
`anyone on your realm. But by going it alone, you won't be
`able to master some of the game's tougher challenges, you
`will likely take longer to reach the endgame, and you won't
`have access to the game's most powerful magical treasures.
`Most importantly, the other players on your realm will miss
`out on the pleasure of meeting you. Your paths will cross
`with thousands of other people who share similar goals,
`interests, likes, and dislikes with you; so speak up, it's easy
`to make new friends in World of Warcraft.
`
`This chapter takes you through the ins and outs of World of
`Warcraft's many social play features.
`
`Chat
`
`Meeting new people in real-life is intimidating enough. How do you introduce
`
`yourself? How do you start a conversation? Thankfully, chatting in World of
`
`Warcraft is easier and more casual than anything you’d encounter in the real

`conversations scrolling down in the game’s chat window, and if you feel like it,
`
`you can jump in anytime and either add something to an ongoing discussion
`
`or start a conversation about a new topic.
`
`CHAT CHANNELS:
`FILTERING OUT THE NOISE
`The standard public chat channels are General, Trade, Local Defense,
`Looking For Group, and Guild Recruitment. You can join and leave these
`channels at will, and all players can chat there as well. These channels are
`mostly intended to provide players with proper channels for specific topics
`such as item trading or guild recruitment.
`
`You can also create your own custom chat channels. The obvious advantage
`of a custom channel is privacy; only people in that channel will be able to
`read the conversations going on there. You can also moderate these
`channels, meaning that you can invite, remove, mute, or otherwise moderate
`chat in your channel if you want.
`
`OTHER CHAT
`
`There are three notable types of chat you should be aware of: say, yell, and whisper.
