In-game chat

In-game chat is a feature allowing players to talk to one another in-game. To send a message: 1) press enter to open the message creation window; 2) enter any text you wish to send; 3) press enter again to submit your message.

Note: The message will only be seen by players that have visual contact with your character.

You can also send a text message this way as a "Whisper" which is only seen by those standing very close to you. Type /w in front of your text to do this.

Holding down the Control key will turn your message into a SHOUT which is heard by players much farther away. Or you can type /s in front of your text for this.

Using asterisks to surround your text *like this* will cause your post to show up in hot pink. Or you can type /e in front of your text for this.

Using /o shows as brown text that can be read as normal text even if you are lying on the floor. It is intended to be for out of character (ooc) speech

Also note that when your character is dead or unconscious, all of your in-game text messages will be whispers, heard only by those standing very close. This is to imitate how weak your voice would be under such conditions.

Note: F5 is a toggle that expands the text window to allow more of your in-game conversations to be visible.
