| .:. CHANNELS |
There are a myriad of channels, both public and private, that you can use to talk with other players. Type channels alone to see how to customize which channels you receive and which you want shut off, and channels list to see the channels available to you. Syntax: > channels > channels list > channels <channel> > channels who <channel> Example: > channels list > channels ooc > channels who common channels ooc, channels shout, channels bard and channels qa switch those channels off and on for you; qa covers both question and answer. channels tell does the same for tells, and while they are off you cannot send any either. Guild members switch their guild's channel with its tag, such as channels vg. channels repeat decides whether you see your own messages echoed back. To see who is listening, use channels who ooc for the OOC channel, or channels who common for the usual channels at once. OOC ways to talk: ooc is the global channel for Out Of Character conversation. Tell is a private message to one player, wherever they are. Question and answer are the public channels for having questions answered, and newbienet is a good channel for newcomers to ask on; players not yet in any guild, the Visitor Guides and the Immortals can use it. Osay is OOC talk heard only in your own room. Each multiguild has a channel of its own, used with its tag, and vg is the Visitor Guides' channel. Glt is the Guild Leader channel, qsay is for those currently in a quest, gsay and gtell talk to your group rather than your guild, and shout reaches the whole game but is only available if it has been granted to you. IC ways to talk: say is for speaking aloud in your room, and emote is the most commonly used command for showing your character's actions and words during RP. Pemote is much like emote, slightly altered but still very useful. Whisper and ask speak quietly to one person in the room. To speak on a channel, type its name and then your words. Every channel has its own label and color, so you can tell them apart at a glance. The two to know first are ooc and newbie. Syntax: > ooc <text> > newbie <text> > tell <name> <text> > mail <name> Example: > newbie Hello! Where can I get a lantern? Asks the Visitor Guides and the Immortals, who will happily answer. OOC talks to the whole community, newbie reaches the helpers, tell is private and instant, and mail writes a mudmail letter that the person reads later (help mail). These channels are OOC unless clearly marked otherwise. Please do not ask for help with an IC situation using OOC means, or use OOC information in an IC manner; if unsure, ask the Immortal staff. The old noooc, noshout, nobard, noqa, nogdt and gdton commands no longer switch anything themselves; they just point you back to channels. There is no general gdt channel any more either: each multiguild has its own. See also: Say, Tell, Whisper, Ask, OOC, Shout, VG, Qsay, Group, Emote, Pemote, IC, Multiguilds, Mail, Who |
