Communities

Table of Contents

Communities are a mechanic in Palia.

Being a part of a community has multiple benefits, like consistent group communication with the same people on a daily basis, additional support in times of need, and an increased sense of belonging.

The Player can be a part of only one community, so choosing the right group and/or creating a community with the right information is key.

Features of a Community

Community Member List

There is a special Community section on the friend menu, showing which community members are actively online. You do not need to be friends with the community members to see them appear in this section of the friends list.

Community Chat

There is a Community text channel where you can exclusively communicate with all Community members, regardless of which server they are on.

Community Requests

There is a specific dropdown on the Requests tab that shows all open requests from members of your community. Note: If you are friends with a community member, their requests will ONLY show up in the "From Friends" section, NOT the "From Community" section.

Joining a Community

To join a Community, an Officer from said community will have to send you a Community Invite. Your Community Invites are visible via the Social Panel.

Creating a Community

To create a Community, you must not already be a member of an existing community. To create your own Community, navigate to the Community tab in the player menu. Here, you will be able to add a Name, Motto, and Description.
