Questions on Internet Play

Hi

I just ahve a couple of questyions regarding multiplay.
1) I look in chat and see the other people playing and it has the group column, what do these numbers represent and where can I find a list of one exists?

2) I hear a lot of people talking about taxes, what are they talking about?

3) What s PVP? Another thing said a lot?

Thanks

pvp =player versus player (a fight)
group colum it to identify players who are grouped send a request to someone you know, if they accept a group is formed( till one goes offline or leaves in another way)
tax = another player demanding money from you for not trying to kill you

Thanks

So how do you give these taxes to other people?

You target the other dude and click the trade request button (below, next to the scanner).

A window pops up when the other dude accepts. you can select the amount of money you wanna (or have to ) transfer and click accept. then the other dude accepted aswel, the transfer is complete

Edit: Damn spelling.

It's better to chase a rabbit then to catch a hare...

Thanks for the help

another one (sorry) the level number, how is this determind? at one stage I was 12 then I dropped down :/ I didnt get killed or anything?

It depends on the amount of money you have, and unfortunately doesn't stay fixed like in SP. Which is unfair.

The group number represents the number of a group. People with the same group number are in the same group. People with different group numbers are in different groups. People with no group number are not in a group.

I've never been asked for taxes...that's wierd.

PvP stands for Player versus Player. A lot of servers will have news saying no PvP in NY (New York) or no PvP in Liberty (New York, Colorado, Califonia and Texas). This means that PvP is not allowed in these systems. Some servers waive that rule if a duel is agreed to (by both players). If both players agree to duel then (if server rules allow) they may PvP in non-PvP systems.
