| {{KBh3|Join a group|4035|How do I join a group?}}
| |
| You can distinguish two types of groups which are
| |
| #Open group (might have an enrollment fee)
| |
| #Closed group
| |
| You can easily join open groups by [[search#groups|searching them]]{{KB|4037|How do I find a group?}} and pressing the ''Join (L$<font color="blue">X</font>)'' button{{Footnote|1=<font color="blue">X</font> stands for the enrollment fee.|2=X stands for the enrollment fee.}} in the groups info tab. In case there is no ''Join (L$<font color="blue">X</font>)'' button at the info tab of the group you're looking for, the group is either a closed one and you can only join when you got an [[#Invite someone to your group|invitation]], or you are already a member of the group.
| |
| | |
| {{KBh3|Leave a group|4038|How do I quit or leave a group?}}

| #Confirm that you'd like to leave the group by clicking '''OK'''.

| You can not directly delete a group, but in case you ensure that the membercount of the group remains smaller than 2 for a timeframe of 48 hours, the group will be disbanded. You can ensure that by ejecting all current members of the group and setting the group to a closed group (so no new members join).
