Chat commands[]
These commands are shortcuts to send a message to a specific channel without having to select the channel itself. This is useful if you only want to send a message to, for example, your guild while not having selected the channel.
- /a Send a message to everyone
- /g Send a message to your guild
- /p Send a message to your party (group)
- /trade Send a message to the trade channel
- /ally Send a message to your alliance.
All of the following commands will send a whisper message to someone. First of all, you need to type the command, then the name of the receiver of the message and finally the message, separated by a comma. The comma is needed so the game knows where the name ends and where the message starts. Example:
If you want to send "do you want to start a group?" to Mr. Jack, you will have to type:
- /t Mr. Jack, do you want to start a group?
- /t Send a whisper message to someone
- /tell Same as /t
- /w Same as /t
- /whisper Same as /t
