=== Default group ===
Each player has a ''default group'', which is the group used by commands when no group is specified. This is the player's personal group by default, but can be changed with the <code>/nlsdg</code> command, or from [[NameLayer#Interface|the interface]].

=== Global group ===
A ''global group'' is a group intended to provide a global chat, effectively bypassing the [[Chat|distance restriction of chat messages]]. This group is usually called <nowiki><code>!</code></nowiki> or <nowiki><code>g</code></nowiki>.

The concept of a global group was first introduced in [[Devoted]], where the global group was player-owned and managed, requiring players to join with a publicly shared password. On [[CivClassic]] and proceeding mainline server, global chat was cemented as a gameplay mechanic, with the group being owned by the server and players automatically added to it when they first join.
