Chat

The Chat Console

The Chat Console is used to communicate with other players and execute certain commands.

To access the chat console, click the chat icon () or press the chat key (mapped to ↵ Enter by default).

Chatting

To chat with other players, open the chat console and type a message, then press ↵ Enter to send it.

Players can change which chat domain they send messages to at any time by selecting from the drop down menu in the chat console or by appending a message with the appropriate tag character. Additionally there are some chat domains that can be quickly selected by pressing the correct key combination.

Domain	Tag	Shortcut	Purpose
Local	N/A	<chat key>	Chat with nearby players within a town hub or zone instance.
Global	#	⇧ Shift+<chat key>	Communicate with a multitude of players within the same league.
Party	%	Ctrl+⇧ Shift+<chat key>	Chat with all party members.
Whisper	%<character>	Ctrl+<chat key>	Chat with a specific character only. The keyboard shortcut can be used to reply to the last whisper received.
Trade	$		Communicate with players for the purpose of trading items.

To avoid having the chat console fill up with unwanted messages, players can leave global and trade chat by un-ticking the Join Global Chat and Join Trade Chat checkboxes respectively.

Within each league, the global and trade chat domains are made up of separate channels. When joining global or trade chat, players are automatically assigned to a channel. Players can change to a different channel at any time by using the /global <number> and /trade <number> commands. For example, entering /global 3 would allow the player to join global chat channel 3.

Commands

Various functions can be executed by entering commands in the chat console. A syntax of a command is a forward slash (/) followed by a string. Commands that require additional parameters are appended after the command string followed by a space.
