Local
Local is a channel for players within about 320 meters (80 tiles) radius from your position. The local channel is almost completely free speech, you may not use very offensive language, such as racist, sexist, and homophobic comments, nor may you talk about illegal drugs or substances. Both Blacklighters and Whitelighters 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 stealthed or inside of a mine. Note that if a certain player is annoying, use ( /ignore name )to stop their comments.
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!" Use the command /kchat to turn off Kingdom chat from displaying entirely. The same command can be used to begin displaying Kingdom chat again.

GMs and CMs have the right to issue warnings, mutes as they see necessary to enforce these rules. In some cases excessive rule breaking or deliberate verbal attacks may warrant banning.
Village
If you are a member of a Village, the village chat can be opened using the /village command, followed by your message. All members of your village who are currently logged in will get the messages sent here.
Private Message
To talk to only one player, use the /tell or /t commands. For example:
/tell Zyndrome Hello, you may already be an instant winner!
/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. /ignore without a name following returns a list of whom you are ignoring.
