You don't have to adventure alone in World of Warcraft. In fact, the game can be more fun when you join with other players. Quests that are too difficult alone can be surprisingly easy to accomplish when you group with other players. If you group with other players frequently enough, they might even become regular adventuring companions and friends.

Creating a Group
A group, or party, of adventurers can have a maximum of five players. A group is created as soon as one other player joins you. You can invite a player to join your group in three ways.

• You can select the player, right-click on the player's portrait, and select the invite command from the resulting dropdown menu.
• You can type the /invite command followed by the player's name at your chat prompt.
• You can add the player to your friends list, then select that player from your friends list in the Social window and click the Group Invite button.

Players you can see next to you can be invited by any of these three means. However, players that you cannot see, usually because they are far away or in a different zone, must be invited through the /invite command or through the Group Invite button on the friends list.

A player already in another group cannot join your group. If you extend an invitation to such a player, you will get a message back saying the other person is already in a group.
