Communication: communication channels and methods command
To talk to other beings in the world, there are many communication channels. Different channels are used for different purposes and different groups of interlocutors. During communication, adhere to the rules of conduct in our world.
Local messages are visible only to those who are nearby (in the same room with you). say: just say something out loud. Most quest-giving creatures react to this channel, and a tell to a creature standing next to you works just as well. emote: express an emotion or action
Private channels are used for communication between two characters. tell character phrase -- say something specific to a character, if they're not asleep. reply -- sends a message to the last person who told you something privately; allows responding to invisible interlocutors and gods.
Global channels are audible to all players at once. ooc -- main channel for out-of-role communication (speaking as a player) ic -- main channel for RP, role-playing communication (speaking as a character) grats -- congratulate someone -- for example, on gaining level auction -- auction messages (to chat, use ooc or ic) music -- sing something for the whole world yell -- heard by all non-deaf characters.
Limited channels are heard only by certain groups of players. gtell -- only members of your group will hear clanchat -- only clanmates will hear yell -- only players in the same area will hear rtalk -- only players of the same race as you will hear family -- only spouses will hear
The channels command shows a list of all available channels and their status (ON/OFF). The mode of deafness and silence is also displayed.
