There are many ways to communicate with with other players online. Here are
the most common ways:
Command Description
------- -----------
say speak to others in the room
pose pose an action to others in the room
page send a message long-distance to another player online
+com talk to everyone joined to a particular chat channel
+mail send an in-game mail message to another player
Examples:
say Hello! (Everyone in the room hears: Yourname says, "Hello!")
pose waves hello. (Everyone in the room hears: Yourname waves hello.)
page Fred=I need help. (Fred hears: Yourname pages: I need help.)
+com newbie=Which culture should I join?
(Everyone joined to the <Newbie> chat channel hears:
<Newbie> Yourname says, "Which culture should I join?" )
It is worth noting that most of the commands on the previous page can be
abbreviated. The "say" command can be abbreviated by typing a single double-
quote symbol (") followed by what you want to say. For example, type:
"Hi everyone.
(including the quote mark in front). The "pose" command can be abbreviated
by using a colon (:) in the same way. The "page" command can be shortened to
the single letter "p". (E.g. "p Fred=I need help.") And if you want to page
the same player that you last paged again, you can leave out the name and
the = sign (e.g. "p Nice to see you again, Fred.") Finally, you can speak
on your default +com channel (which starts out as the Newbie channel) by
just typing an equals sign (=) followed by what you want to say. Try this:
=I'm new here!
Type "help <command>" for more help on any of the above commands.
Type "help intro" to return to the list of quick-start topics.
