A group shares map markers and target pings, and members on the same quest can hand it in together, so friends progress faster as a team.
The world is shared with everyone on the server, and joining a faction brings fights with other players over territory.
Progress is slow and grindy, which suits a group planning long sessions.
It is free to play, with an optional premium status.
