[edit] Tells
- Sending a tell
- type /t players name: (e.g.: /t Fluffybunny: Would you care for a carrot with that?)
- Replying to a tell
- type /r players name: (e.g.: /r Farmer Man: I prefer cabbage, thank u!)
NOTE THE COLON FOLLOWING THE PLAYER'S NAME; IT MUST BE THERE FOR TELL TO WORK
- To reply directly to a tell it is enough to write
- type /r text you don't have to add the name to reply directly.
[edit] Party
When you are partied, tabbing while on the chat line should eventually enable you to chat with other party members. You can also make sure that party chat is enabled in a window by right-clicking that window. If Party is highlighted green, then party chat is on.
