Groups
Player groups are primarily used as a mechanism for up to six players to band together to attack npcs that they could not kill alone, or to kill npcs faster than they could on their own. However, they have other functions as well, and can be used for socialising or even idling together.
Players can see what groups are active with the commands 'group list' and can advertise their availability to join a group with the 'group request' command.
Additionally, there are several group specific commands that players have access to when they are in a group.

"Group help <sub-command>" will give you a short description of what that group command does.

This gives you an estimate of all group members' health and guild points, tells you who the leader is, and tells you how idle group members are (if any have been idle for more than 15 seconds).

Group assist
If you group assist someone, then you'll automatically join in (after a short delay) if they enter combat. You can "group unassist" them to stop.
The length of time before you join in is apparently dependent on your adventuring.perception and the number of people you're assisting. research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore.
