New World: how to play with friends

There are two ways to play with friends in New World:

Using either of these methods you can choose to invite another player into your group so you can play together. You can also add them as a friend in order to make it easier to play together in future; and you can also engage in various other activities such as direct messaging, trading, duelling - or, if they’re decidedly unfriendly, you can mute, block, or report them using these options as well.
