"The Friends Chat is the one and only subforum of the Welcome to Gaia forum."@en . . "The Friends Chat system is an interface which allows a player to talk to multiple players at once, without being in the same world or location (through a \"clan channel\"). Each player can also be given a rank in the channel, making this system very useful for clans. Clan Chat is available to both members and non-members. This was released on August 6, 2007 as a part of the Clan Chat update. The Clan Chat update has a significant history. The idea was first conceived after the SwiftSwitch riots in January '07. Although Clan Chat has been released, several clans still prefer using the Swift IRC. To speak, simply add a slash (/) at the beginning of each line. Alternatively, if your Chat Interface is set to 'Clan', anything you type will appear in the Clan Chat. Here is an example: /hello everybody! It will show up like this: [(Clan Name)] (Player Name): Hello everybody! Example: [Kaiser Blade] Sjblade: Hello everybody! (Where the user is Sjblade and the clan name is Kaiser Blade.)"@en . . .

Players do not need to set up their own channel in order to use someone else's. Later, on 12 April 2011, another Clan Chat was released, with the former Clan Chat renamed to Friends Chat. Players in a Friends Chat channel send messages in the same way as with public chat, except using a slash (/) at the beginning of every line. The slash does not appear when the message is displayed. As with private chat, the other players can be logged into any server. Selecting the Friends Chat option at the bottom of the screen eliminates the need of using a slash (/). A leading slash will not be removed if the Friends Chat channel is accessed through the Lobby."@en . . . . . . . . . . .
