Kinds of chat

General chat

To reach the chat line press Enter, T or Ctrl+T. Type the message and press Enter to send it. Players within a small radius of you will see it.

Private

To send a personal message to any player, type in the message line: /(player's name), a space, and the message. Example: /Igrok Hello!

Party

To talk to your party, type /p, a space, and the message. To avoid typing the command every time, open the chat window (T or Ctrl+T) and left-click the Party button. Example: /p Hi all!

Guild chat

Example: /g Hi! How are things?

Map chat

Everyone present on the map of the current location. Example: /m Selling blue ore

Race chat

Between the race leader and the ruling council. Only the race leader and the council can use it. Example: /r 10 minutes to the mine war!

Note

If typing a name for every private message is tiresome, hold Ctrl and left-click the character: the character's action menu opens. Choose Private chat and talk privately from there (only the two of you see it).

Friends

What is the Friends (Buddy) list?

A kind of address book for your in-game friends. At any moment you can see where they are, if they are online. It exists to make talking easier and finding new companions simpler.

Players on your list, or those who added you to theirs.

[Guild]
Members of your guild.

[Ignore]
Players you have excluded from chat or private messages.

Adding a friend

If accepted, both players are added to each other's lists. To remove someone, press [delete].

Once added

After a successful registration you can see:

1. whether the character is online or not
2. the character's location

Ignoring

Use this when you want to stop receiving messages from a particular player. In the Ignore menu choose [add] and enter the player's name.

Block private: blocks private messages.
