## In-Game Chat

The early days of the Global Chat was certainly... crazy colorful.

*There are two main chat channels within our game: global and alliance.*

*Global Chat: This is the chat room for all players in your region.*

*Alliance Chat: If you are in an alliance, this is the chat room for all active members.*

*To turn on or off your ability to see these channels:*

1. *Tap on the settings cog icon near the upper-left section on the home page.*
2. Tap on the CHAT tab.
3. Under the CHAT ENABLED section, you will see checkboxes next to the GLOBAL and ALLIANCE fields. A checked off box means that you will be able to view that chat.

### INVITES

*There are two types of invitations you may receive while playing the game: alliance invitations and friend requests.*

*Alliance Invitations: If you are not part of an alliance, having this feature turned on lets alliances looking for members know that you are open to an invitation. You will still have to accept that invitation to join their alliance, however. Having this turned off or being part of an alliance will stop those invitations from coming to you.*

*Friend Requests: In order to accept friend requests from others, you need to have this feature turned on. That does not prevent you from sending your own friend requests, however. Having this feature turned off prevents others from sending you friend requests.*

*To turn on or off your ability to see these invitations:*

1. *Tap on the settings cog icon near the upper-left section on the home page.*
2. Tap on the CHAT tab.
