Interaction

In Entropia Universe, you can interact with other participants, items, estates, mobs and so on. When you place the cursor over another avatar or an item, you can view basic information of the avatar or item. You can select the avatar or item by single clicking with left mouse button.

Chatting with other participants is done through the Main Chat, Private Chat and Voice Chat.

Main Chat

The Main Chat can be used to chat to participants visible on your Radar, or with others further away if you are active in certain groups (teams, societies, etc.). It is also used to present you with information and global news (local to the planet you are on). For example, you can see if someone got a high-value loot or how much you damaged a creature during hunting.

Private Chat
Use Private Chat when you wish to chat privately with only one participant:

1. Right click on the avatar you wish to chat privately with.

2. In the Context menu, choose Avatar, then Private Chat.

3. If you get an affirmative response, the chat window is opened and you can chat.

Additionally, Private Chat is automatically opened during PvP trade.

If you have a headset with a microphone you can use the Voice Chat system to talk to other participants.
