Dungeons And Dragons Online: Looking for Group

Samera has posted some great info on Looking for Group changes:

Looking for a group is now easier than ever. In April we asked how long it took you to find a group using the current grouping tool. You answered and made many great suggestions on how we can modify the design to make it even more effective. Since then, we have added a number of new features to make finding teammates easy and get you into the dungeons as quickly as possible.

The Social Panel has been redesigned with new options. The Grouping Windows now contains three tabs to help you find a group or add teammates to your existing group: LFG (Looking for Group), LFM (Looking for More) and Who.

LFG (Looking for Group)

The LFG panel displays all characters currently looking to join a group and go on dungeons. When you open it, you can see the character's name, class and level and sort them by these items. The LFG Panel will show the area and instance that the character is currently in, to allow you to gather in a common location more quickly. You can also see any LFG Notes that the player has left, in case they are looking for specific groups or just want you to know something about them.

When you see a person who is LFG, you can click on their name in the LFG window and then click the "Invite" button to allow them into your party. If you wish to speak with them, you can easily send them a tell by clicking on their name and clicking the "Tell" button.

You can also flag yourself as Looking for Group by clicking the "Player Looking For Group" checkbox and update your own LFG Notes on this panel. Your LFG Note will also display under your name in the Who panel.

LFM (Looking for More)

The LFM Panel allows you to show others that you are forming a group, and let them know what types of characters you are looking for. If you are a party leader, you can click on the LFM Tab and flag yourself as LFM by clicking the "Group Looking For More" checkbox. You can also add a comment to the LFM Notes to let people know what your party is doing and what you are looking for. Through the Class Selection buttons, you can specify what types of characters you are looking for. If you are not picky, just choose "Any".

Like the LFG Panel, the LFM Panel also displays the area and instance the Party Leader is, to help the party gather more quickly.

If you see a group you could join in the LFM window, you can click on that group, and then press the "Join" button to become a member. Clicking the "Tell" button will allow you to send a message to the party leader.
