Channel

channel - Command for all game communication channels.

Description

Listen, send and change preferences for the game's global communication system.

• Since this is a game played by people from all over the world we ask that you speak in english on all channels except those that are designated as a special language channels like suomi (Finnish), svenska (Swedish), espanol (Spanish).
• Some channels are devoted to specific topics like 'sports'. For lengthy conversations about a topic where there is a channel for it, please move the conversation over to that channel.
• Clan channels always start with &. The leader of the clan is automatically the channel admin. The clan channel (and its log) remains as long as the clan exists.
• Private channels can be created by anyone and always start with @. The one who created the private channel is automatically the channel admin. The private channel (and its log) remains as long as there is one person invited to it. When the last person performs a channel <channel name> leave on the channel, the private channel and its history is deleted forever. Any private channel name deemed offensive will be removed immediately. Unlike public/guild channels, coders are not automatically on any private or clan channels unless specifically invited or joined by some other means.

stick -tail
@pvt hello there
&myclan hi

You can create your own custom command macros for any channel like so:

command st channel stick send

To see the list of people on the stick channel with the macro made above:

st

To send a message on the stick channel with the macro made above:

st hi

To emote on the stick channel with the macro made above:

st :grins evilly!

You can also use the commands that have been created for every channel name such as lord, stick, guild channels, etc.

• If you see people's names like this: (Player), [(Player)] or [Player], these mean the player is either (invisible) or (sneaking), or [editing], or [(both)].
• If you see someone's name like this: <Player>, you are probably a coder.
