I was playing the game and thought to myself... Hey! I really think this game is great, but it seems to be missing something... I think that the game needs a type of party system added so that it is easier to join the game with friends. Also I think there should be a LAN option so that if you want to do local games you can as well. Just food for though since this is a "BETA" and all. :-)

This already planned. From word around the forum, it's mostly complete and will be implemented in an upcoming patch.

No offense, but please use the search function next time before reaching for the Create New Topic button. The reason I say this is that there is always a thread on LAN support active at practically any given time. (Although, in fairness, the search doesn't seem to like searches with only three letters in them and returns 0 results for "LAN" even though I know there are multiple threads with 'LAN' in the topic of the thread, let alone the posts in the thread. If you did use the search function and ran into this problem, my apologies.)

As far as I know, LAN support is not planned at this time, and LAN support on a F2P game is very problematic, because it interferes with the business model. Dedicated servers, however, are planned in a future update along with social features like clan support.

@Elix, None taken. However this topic was not only about LAN it was also about a Party System. Which was my main goal. And my apologies I did not think to use the search tool, it totally flew right over my head for some reason. @SunshineSloth, I hope you are right. This would be awesome!

Like the Sloth said, more social features are on the way. I didn't directly address that because I'm not 100% sure that parties are planned for inclusion in that update, but the devs have heard feedback regarding parties and I'm sure it's being worked on in some way.
