In addition to meeting new people and possibly making some friends,
grouping gives a lot of bonuses and perks.  Some of those bonuses are:

- Players in groups have an extra chance to be rescued by the gods if
  they die near their group members.  To see your odds of being rescued,
  use the 'groupinfo' command.

- Monsters give much more experience in groups, so all the group members
  get a fair share.

- It can be a lot safer, especially if your group has members dedicated
  to tanking, healing, protecting, etc.

- And lastly, grouping with others can let you take on challenges that
  are far too difficult by yourself.

The grouping commands are simple and easy to learn.  See 'help group howto'
for more information.
