A few Nooby questions

[mjpw]

hi there are a number of technical issues that i am not sure about.

The first is how do you whisper someone. I went to the trade forum and wanted to trade something but i had no idea how to whisper them.

is the name they give the account name.


Secondly i have noticed that some people repeated spam information on screen. I do not want to do this but i would like to be able to repeat myself without having to retype what i have said.

Lastly i have noticed that people talk in Bubbles on Screen, how do they do that.

Many thanks for your help

Ack. Chijirajiden was right. Should've put this in the guide.

To whisper, type /w *account name message, e.g. /w *impossibilium Hi. You can also whisper just the character name (without the *asterisk), but that only works if the player is online with that specific character.

I believe that to recall previous messages, you hit enter and press up arrow. Either that or tab, not too sure.

To have text appear above your character, put ! in front of your message.

To whisper someone or receive a whisper, you need to be in either a channel or game. There's a common situation when a person is in not in either (Exited a game but did not click "enter chat"). If you try to whisper someone who is in such a state, the message will be " You can't whisper to that user". This also happens when a person is in the process of entering/creating a game.

To know whether a person is online, type /whereis *xxxx, xxxx being the person's account name. For example, /whereis *czach. If the person is on your friends list, you can just type /f l to list and see which of your friends are online.
