# Chat

The chat function allows you to communicate with other players.

There are four channels of chat

* Global: chat common to all
* Sector: chat for each sector
* Guilds: chat for each guild
* DM: private chat (available only to friends)

All chats except DM will be reset when you log out; only DM will save your previous state.
