Chat
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, find teammates to play with, 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 Gefreiter.
- The chat room is constantly maintained under surveillance by a group of Helpers - the Game Moderators.
The Lobby Chat
As soon as you open the game, you will be greeted by the lobby chat, which can be found on the left-hand side of the game's interface. Messages sent in the lobby chat are visible to everyone viewing the panel at that time. Messages in the lobby chat are limited to a max character count of 299, including the nickname of the player you may be writing to.
- To message a specific player, click on their nickname and hit "Write".
- If you no longer wish to see a certain player's messages, click on their nickname and select "Ignore".

Chat Rules
Similar to other aspects of the game, the chat feature is closely monitored and subject to a set of rules that all players must follow.
- You can read through the chat rules here.
- Violating the chat rules may result in temporary or even permanent chat bans.
Anti-Flood System
In all in-game chats, there is an "anti-flood system" implemented to prevent spam. This system is designed to automatically detect and flag flood-like behavior, which typically involves excessive use of capital letters, repetitive keystrokes, or sending messages too frequently.
If you are flagged as "flooding", you may receive a warning or temporary chat ban depending on the severity of your violation.
