How do you make a group closed?

[brian14]

Yesterday I opened a group to run Bloody Crypt. Not a very popular quest, so there were no responders for a while; I was just about to start it solo (with cleric hireling) when someone responded. I am level 10, he IIRC 12, so with two of us and two hirelings Bloody Crypt on hard was a breeze. Yet when we were more than halfway done I got three party join requests. I accepted them all, but two never made it into dungeon, while third apparently got in, waited by the entrance to Salasso's chamber until we opened the last key, then died. All I ever saw of him was his soulstone.

I feel bad about such latecomers, so my question is -- how do I make my group "full, no more accepted"? Other than just ignoring join requests, which I feel is rude?

Open the create party window and there is a checkbox at the top. Also, they probably couldn't get in because they hadn't completed the 4 flagging quests so I wouldn't feel too bad.

I usually edit the LFM to indicate In Progress so no one is surprised when they join.

Social Panel ---> Create Party ----> uncheck "Advertise as looking for more players" box (top left corner). This will (actually should, sometimes panel bugs) take down your LFM.

Off topic. You don't need to be flagged to enter that quest; players can actually enter Bloody (and Shadow and Cursed) Crypt, even if not flagged, provided that at least one player in their party can open the quest.

if it bugs, uncheck the 'any' box for classes (thus unselecting all of them) and this brings it down.

And Last but not least (at least I think this is the final method)...

Pass the party star (leadership) to someone else in the party should always remove the LFM for the party.

I found that for me, if I wrote anything in the comments box I have to delete that too to make my group disappear from the list.

I am suprised more people don't run Bloody Crypt, It is a great exp farm for how easy it is.

It is also repetitive, boring, and the treasure is not great.
