=== Groups ===
To switch to chatting in a NameLayer group, use the <code>/g <group></code> command. Messages sent to a group are not affected by the distance restriction, and can be read by anybody on that group.
=== Private Messages ===
You can switch to a private message group with another player by using the <code>/tell <player></code> command. Messages sent to private message groups are also unaffected by the distance restriction.
=== Death Messages ===
One consequence of the distance-restricted nature of chat messages is that death messages are not necessarily broadcast to the entire server. This means that some players may not become aware of important events, like a player being [[Exile Pearl|pearled]], until it is later chosen to be publicized.
== Global Chat Group ==
Some civ servers have a
In earlier civ servers such as [[Devoted]], this global chat group was entirely player-owned and managed, requiring players to join the group manually before being able to talk in it. Some later civ servers like [[CivClassic]] cemented the global chat group as a gameplay mechanic, automatically adding new players as members to the group and having the group be admin owned. However, not all civ servers do this.

If both <code>group</code> and <code>message</code> are specified, sends <code>message</code> to <code>group</code> without changing your current chat group.
If neither <code>group</code> nor <code>message</code> is specified, acts like <code>/exit</code>.
