Party Search panel (Europe)

The Party Search panel (default keyboard shortcut 'P') was implemented into the game during the December 20, 2006, game update. It allows players to search for a party for questing and missions. It also can be used for trading, hunting (e.g. for elite skills), and guild requests.

During the December 21, 2006 game update a modified version for European districts was implemented which included an option to filter out party search requests from districts of another language due to the existence of many different languages on the European servers.

Since the game update of July 17, 2007, when you enter some text into the Party Search Panel it will be sent to local chat using the following format: "character name: entered text (Party search)". Some key phrases will also cause a party search request to be submitted when used in local chat.

Party Search example

In this tab you can search for human party members. You can use up to 31 characters to describe your request in the description field. The dropdown menu lets you specify the request type (Mission, Quest, Hunt, Guild and Trade). To submit a request, check on the Seek party checkbox. This checkbox can also be activated by pressing Enter in the description field.

In European districts only: "Show districts in other language" let you view all entries regardless of the district's language where it was created. The collapsible purpose groups show (x/y) whereas x counts entries from the same districts of the same language and y entries from all other districts.
