Multiplayer
Vendetta Online is a massively-multiplayer game. As such, interacting with other players is an integral part of your gameplay experience. There are a number of mechanisms in place to facilitate this type of interaction.
Chat Interface
Whether in-station or in your ship, there are a variety of ways in which you can communicate with other players. Visit the Chatting section for more information.
Grouping
If you and some friends decide you want to join together to achieve some goal, you can form a group. You'll have an easier interface for chatting with each other, you'll earn more skill points, and you'll be able to see the health status of any group members who are in the sector with you.
Dueling
Not all combat is unfriendly. If you'd like to challenge another player to a fight without worrying about angering the local law enforcement, you can issue a duel.
Guilds
Guilds provide a more long-term solution for large groups of players to band together to achieve a common goal, or simply to have fun. See the guilds section of this manual for more information, or visit the Player Guilds section of the Vendetta Online web site for information on existing guilds. (Note: You muse be logged on to the site to view the Player Guilds page.)
Buddy System
The buddy system helps you keep track of players who you've befriended. You will be notified when any of your buddies log in, and you can leave messages for buddies who are currently offline. See the Buddy System section of this manual for more information.
