91 | =head3 How can I communicate with other players? |
|
|
92 | |
|
|
93 | There are four commands you can use to talk to others. All of them can |
|
|
94 | be entered by just typing them in, followed by the message, followed by |
|
|
95 | C<Return>, e.g. C<chat hey guys, what's up?>. If you have a I<tab> open |
|
|
96 | in your message window you can also just type a text in there followed |
|
|
97 | by C<Return> (this is especially handy as C<Return> also activates the |
|
|
98 | current chat tab as well). |

101 | |
|
|
102 | =item chat <message> (short: C<c>) |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | The most-used communications command. Whatever you I<chat> will end up |
|
|
105 | in the I<Chat> tab of everybody else who is currently logged in. |
|
|
106 | |
|
|
107 | Example: |
|
|
108 | |
|
|
109 | c I am stuck! can anybody let me out? |
|
|
110 | |
|
|
111 | =item say <message> (short: C<s>) |
|
|
112 | |
|
|
113 | This command can be used to talk to NPCs (without going through the NPC |
|
|
114 | dialogue window), but all players anywhere on the same map can hear you as |
|
|
115 | well. |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | Example: |
|
|
118 | |
|
|
119 | s good that schmorp cnanot hera us here! |
|
|
120 | |
|
|
121 | =item tell <playername> <message> (short: C<te>) |
|
|
122 | |
|
|
123 | This is your prototypical two-way, private, chat channel. You can talk to |
|
|
124 | any other player that is currently logged in, and only he can hear you. |
|
|
125 | |
|
|
126 | =item gsay <message> (short: C<gs>) |
|
|
127 | |
|
|
128 | The group say command sends a message to every member of the party/group |
|
|
129 | you are in. This is useful when playing in a team, to avoid cluttering the |
|
|
130 | chat channel. |

134 | =head3 Can I form parties? Which benefits does party-play have? |
|
|
135 | |
|
|
136 | You can form I<new> parties using the C<< party form <name> >> name |
|
|
137 | command, and you can join I<existing> parties using the C<< party join |
|
|
138 | <name> >> command. There are other party commands, use C<help party> to |
|
|
139 | find out more. |
|
|
140 | |
|
|
141 | The main benefit of party-play is sharing experience: All experience you |
|
|
142 | gain is distributed to all party members accoridng to their level (people |
|
|
143 | with twice the level as you gain twice as much experience). |
|
|
144 | |
|
|
145 | This is great for training skills you are bad in, but somebody else is |
|
|
146 | good in, and of course vice versa! |
