Local is a channel for [[player]]s within about 320 meters (80 [[tile]]s) radius from your position. The local channel is close to free speech, but you may not use offensive language, such as racist, sexist, and homophobic comments, or talk about illegal drugs or substances. Both [[Blacklighter]]s and [[Whitelighter]]s can talk here. It is possible for players to be within the 80 tile radius and not appear in the list of names if they are [[stealth]]ed or inside a [[mine]], upon walking into the mine of where a player is located the local distance is then lowered to 20 tiles. Note that if you do not want to receive messages from a certain player, use ([[chat commands|<tt>/ignore <name></tt>]]) to stop their comments from being seen.
