Player Commands

A list of commands players can use ingame including:

Chat Commands

This section contains all commands used to talk to other players and NPCs, as well as requesting help and reporting misbehaving players. You can also specify your chat method by simply typing into the corrosponding channel (the method's tab) of your Chat Window (except Tell and NPC chat). In some rare occasions it may happen that you will have to talk Out Of Character (commonly abbreviated as "OOC")- in this rare occasions you may put your sentances in brackets [ ] to mark them as OOC.
As a general rule: please keep OOC talk in the public channel as low as possible as it usually disrupts the role play that is going on! OOC in /tell /group and /guild channel is usually allowed, though it could possibly have to be discussed with your chat partners.

Global Interaction

command description
/say message Talk to the people in your immediate vicinity (within 10 meters). This should be your normal way of talking most of the time.
/shout message Talk to people within 100 meters of you. Only use /shout in emergencies.
/auction description Put an item up for sale or offer to buy something.
/me action Perform an action seen by people in your vicinity (within 10 meters). This is a great roleplaying tool when you want your character to do something not directly supported by the game. You can also use /my to describe yourself. Both these commands work in the tell, group and guild tabs as well.
/greet Wave hello to your friends. If you have a target selected, you greet this single target.


Private Talk

command description
/tell player message Talk to someone privately. With this command you can send text only the person you specify can see.
/guild message Talk to everyone in your guild privately. Only guild members in the same guild as you can see what you write.
/group message Talk to your group privately. This is good when your group is farther than 10 meters apart and lets you avoid shouting.
/tellnpc message Talk to npc that is targeted in the npc tab in the chat window.


Ignoring

command description
/ignore Shows ignore window.
/add_ignore player Ignores all communication from the target player in the Chat Window. Use this if people are rude to you and there is no GM around to kick them.
