Dynasty Warriors Online is better with friends: parties book battles together, friends can send each other letters and items, and guilds share a room, storage and rewards.
Chatting

|---|---|
| Space | Start typing in the current channel. |

| T | Tell: a private message. |
| R | Reply to the last private message. |
| P | Party chat. |
