Chat

In the lower left corner (by default), you have the chat-dialog. This is were you talk in Local, Kingdom, Village (when you become a citizen on a deed), and Private Messages (PM). To close a private conversation or kingdom-chat, click the small X in the upper right corner of the dialog. Local chat can not be closed.

To use special characters in any of the chat dialogs refer to this chart.


Local

Local is an unmoderated channel for players within about 1 kilometer radius from your position. The local channel is completely free speech. The people shown in your local chat are the players within about 1 kilometer radius from your position. Both blacklighters and whitelighters can talk here.


Kingom

Whether you are a member of Jenn-Kellon, Horde of the Summoned, or Mol-Rehan, Kingdom Chat is a way for you to speak to all online members of your Kingdom. As a new player, you talk in the Jenn-Kellon kingdom chat, where only whitelighters can talk. This channel is moderated. To talk in Kingdom when the window isn't open, use the SHOUT command, like so: "/shout Look out for the truck!"

The rules for Kingdom Chat are:

  • Do not talk about drugs or drug use.
  • Do not swear.
  • Please keep chat PG*13, no adult themes.
  • No racism of any sort.
  • If you say something that is offensive to a large group of people and are asked to shut up, please do.

Any one of the Devs, GMs, or Mods can mute you if you break the rules.


Private Message

To talk to only one player, use the TELL command, like this for example: "/tell Zyndrome Hello, you may already be an instant winner!" You may ignore somebody with the command /ignore, followed by their username. Unignoring is accomplished the same way.

Ignoring a GM or a dev is a bannable offense.
