  group [accept/join]                       - Accepts an invitation to a group

  group [leave/quit]                        - Leaves a group you are a member of
  group [disband/stop]                      - Destroys a group you lead

  group promote                     - Promotes a player to leader of the group
  group [say/chat]                 - Sends a message only your group can receive
  group autoattack [on/off]                 - Automatically join your group leader in combat
  group rank     - Move a member's place in the line

A group disbands on its own when only one member is left and nobody is invited.

Standing in the Line:

  rank [front/middle/back]                  - Choose where you stand when trouble finds you

Anyone in a group can take up a position. Standing at the front draws more attacks and sets your guard, and you put yourself between an attacker and anyone standing further back. Standing at the back draws the fewest attacks, but only while you stay out of melee - the moment you are locked in with something, you are at the front whatever you chose.

One person can only hold off one attacker at a time, so a thin line will not protect a large group. Shifting position mid-fight costs you a moment unless you have trained Combat Rank.

The leader can move members around the line with group rank, but not while that member is fighting. Anyone can take a new position for themselves at any time.

Group Chat Example:

  > group say Let's go north
  (group) You say, "Let's go north"

  Output to group members:
  (group) Charles says, "Let's go north"
