Selecting people to add to your party - Guild Wars Forums

Drake Ditheon · Sep 09, 2005, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Hey guys, I have a question for you all:

A lot of times it seems hard to find people in an outpost or town and add them to your party. For example, lets say I'm trying to form a party and someone whipers me to say they will join. Now what's the easiest way to find this person so I can add them?

Some of these towns have 100's of people in them and holding CTRL to help find the person is exhausting. Is there a simplier way?

Thanks

I have found just typing the name in works easiest.

either click in the box in your party list and type their name, or type

/invite <charactername>

Alright cool, thanks guys.

I like the /invite <charname> option.

I think they need to make it so if you click or double click on the users name in the chat window, their name automatically moves into your party window where you can add them.

When they whisper you you can click their name in your chat box and hit ctrl-c to copy it then ctrl-v paste it into the invite box.

That's what I do. Copy and paste, baby!

I do either /invite or C&P.

When you want to join a group, you can also use /invite to initiate a request (should also whisper them). You don't have to wait for them to find you.

Ooohh I didn't know you could copy and paste in game...Nifty! Me like.

How do you copy/paste? I've tried but it won't work for me...

Ctrl-c to copy
Ctrl-v to paste

You have to highlight some text first (in this case character name).
