Only 2 members in a party?

how come you can only have 2 people in a group, i dont get it. we tryed playing as a guild but cant...does the number rise or is it always at 2?

That is only in presearing. Once you leave you get to have 4, and so on as you progress through the game until you reach 8 in a group.

After the Searing, the party number rises to 4 or 6 (and more in PvP), depending on what mission you are playing - at least, that's what it was in the Beta. I believe the starting (pre-Searing) area is just meant as a "training" area for new players to get a handle on how the game works. Working on group tactics comes after you've figured out the commands
