Chatting is the direct form of communication that is offered in Darkfall Unholy Wars. The chat window consists of various chat channels that each serves a different purpose.
You can close any of the available channels by clicking the left pointing arrow 
next to their name.
To bring them up again simply click the appropriate button on the left hand side of the Chat window while in GUI mode.
Below the chat channel buttons, you can see the chat font size buttons. There are 3 sizes of text you can choose by clicking on any of these buttons.
Large Font Size 
Medium Font Size 
Small Font Size 
At any point you can right click on another player’s name in the chat window to reveal the whisper, invite to party, send friend request and block player options.
