Chat is still limited, but it's got an ever-growing functionality. Here's the basic stuff you can do:

/? or /help

Pull up a list of common commands.

/c [channel] or /channel [channel]

Go to another channel.

/channels

See which channels are available to you. Normal, Help, Trade, Games, and Roleplay are open to everyone from the start. The names of the channels should give a very good indication of what their purposes are, with Normal being a catchall for anything not in the others. No spoilers will be allowed in Help. All other channels will stand by the 48-hour rule (no spoilers for anything discovered in the last 48 hours, unless it's clearly open to the public, like items in stores.) Most channels have shortcut codes: N for Normal, ? for Help, $ or T for trade, G for games, RP for Roleplay. (We're saving R for something else, so no complaining.)

/l [channel] or /listen [channel]

Listen to another channel. To stop listening, type the command a second time.

/s [channel] or /switch [channel]

Switch to another channel, but still listen to your current channel.

#[channel] [message] or `[channel] [message]

Speak into a channel that you're listening to but aren't in currently. You cannot speak into a channel that you're not listening to. Example: you're in channel normal, and listening to help. You could use this to say something in the Help channel.

/who

List who is in the channel.

/whois [player]

Look up information about a player, by ID or by name.

/em [message]

Puts a message in italics. Is short for "emote" and is generally used to imply actions without speaking. Be like the mime, not like the chattering monkey.

/pm [player] [message] or /msg [player] [message] or /w [player] [message]

Send a private message to another player. You can send it to the player's ID or name (with underscores instead of spaces).

/r [message]

"Repeat" of sorts - sends a pm to the last person you sent one to, without having to type their name or ID. Does not remember this once chat is closed. This does not send a pm to the person who last sent you one -- despite that being a popular request, it's too easy for someone to cause a misfire using that method.

/cls

Clear the chat screen of all messages.

/taglen

Stands for tag length. Toggles between short and longer versions of channel tags. (Example: will display [N] instead of [Normal] or [?] for [Help].

/exit

Leave chat.

/time

Print out the time as the game's server knows it. May be useful for people who aren't on US Mountain time, who want to figure out when things happen.

/count [item name or partial name]

Will attempt to tell you how many of the item you have in inventory. If there's more than one match, it may ask for clarification.

Notes

  • Other commands include:
  • /day - displays the current Twilight day.
  • /oink - Welcome to the secret pig level!
