Where you hear it
playerinvitea.ogg arrives with the dialog asking whether you want to join someone's group. In the era before automated group finding, that invite could take an hour of looking-for-group spam to earn. It still plays for invites from friends, guildmates and premade group leaders. The cue is upbeat and quick, inviting you to click accept. It works neatly as a 'join me' notification for any chat app.
TriggerPlays when another player invites you to a party and the accept/decline dialog appears.
