Friends, Party Invites, and Social Menu in ROW

Friends List Basics

Open the social / Contacts panel from the head icon near World chat. Search by character name on your same server — cross-server friends are limited or unavailable on SEA launch shards. Accept requests carefully; scammers clone officer names before Monday Siege.

Friends are not a romance pair and not a guild roster. Romance: Romance & Marriage. Guild: Guild Guide. Party roles once you queue: Party Roles.

Party Invites for Corridor and MVP

  1. Form or join a party from the social panel — leader invites by name or nearby player list.
  2. Confirm everyone is on the same map channel before Time Corridor entry — Time Corridor.
  3. For open-world MVP, stack contribution rules from MVP Hunting; a friend invite alone does not grant loot.

Mobile players: enable notification for party invite if you AFK in Prontera. PC players: bind a party menu hotkey in PC Controls.

What Not to Click in Chat

  • No “friend gift code” websites.
  • No Discord “Gravity GM” DMs asking for secondary PIN.
  • Trade with friends still triggers the PIN after 2.0.5 — Secondary Password.

Official channels only: Official Discord & News.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I party with a friend on another SEA server?
No for normal open-world and Corridor. Characters are server-bound. Pick the same shard at create time — Server Selection.
Does a friend list replace a guild?
No. Siege, guild orders, and Monday callouts need a guild of level 3+. Friends help for duo Corridor.
Why is invite greyed out?
Target is full party, different map instance, or still in tutorial lock. Finish Getting Started unlocks first.
