Revision as of 20:39, 31 January 2007

In the lower left corner (by default), you have the chat-dialog. This is where 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 cannot 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.

Note: The exception to this is the Newtown Local where Kingdom chat rules do apply. This is to ensure a pleasant starting environment for new players.

Kingdom

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. To talk in Kingdom when the window isn't open, use the SHOUT command, like so: "/shout Look out for the truck!"

As this channel is moderated, the rules for Kingdom chat are:

  • Do not talk about drugs or drug usage. This encompasses any discussion of any and all illegal and legal substances.
  • Do not swear.
  • Please keep chat PG*13, no adult themes.
  • Do not spam.
  • No racism, sexism, or discrimination of any sort.
  • If you say something that is offensive to a large group of people and are asked to shut up, please do.
  • Please use English in kchat. Don't worry if English isn't your native language, many people that use kchat speak English as a second language. English only is for moderating purposes.


Please note that arguing with a CM or GM over mute warn or mute reasons in kchat may result in up to a 5 hour mute. Complaints about mutes should be handled via PM over the forums with a GM, mostly Unforgiven, he is responsible for the chat mods.

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 OR T command, like this for example: "/tell Zyndrome Hello, you may already be an instant winner!" or "/t Zyndrome Hello, can you help me?"

You may ignore somebody with the command /ignore, followed by their username. Unignoring is accomplished the same way.
