| {{KBh3|Join a group|4035|How do I join a group?}}
| |
| You can distinguish two types of groups which are
| |

| 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.
| |
| | |
