Groups exist in order to spread the rewards of various dangerous adventures, as well as their risks.

A typical group will consist of a higher-level Player, plus one or more lower-level players or newbies. Groups form in part so that higher-level Players can help newbies get started more quickly. But they also exist because many TriadCity challenges are unsolvable by single Players acting as lone wolves.

To add Players to your group, you must first be their Leader: that is, they must have previously used the Follow command to begin following you as you move from place to place. Grouping is not automatic, you must explicitly use the Group command to add your followers individually.

Once grouped, all experience gained by any member of the group are automatically split among all group members. If you receive 100 points, they'll be evenly divided among yourself and all members of your group.

Certain challenges can only be met by Groups. For example, there are rooms that can't be entered by individuals.
