Encountering Other Heroes

To communicate with other heroes, use the chat commands to speak to the entire town, to your party members, or to a single, specific player. You can buy and sell rare items on the trading chat channel (usually for a better price than you'd get at the Merchant). You can chat exclusively with the members of your current team using the team chat (press #), or check in with the members of your guild on the Guild channel by pressing the @ key. Interacting with other players, competing with other guilds, and teaming up for quests and missions is essential to maximizing the gameplay experience. http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/exploring/townlandscape/
