== Chatting == | |||
To chat, all you have to do is type what you want to say and hit return. | |||
For example, when you type: | |||
[#lobby] I think that undone guy is really cool! | |||
and then hit return, you'll get something like this: | |||
< receive> I think that undone guy is really cool! | |||
If you want to do perform an action simply type '/me' and then the action: | |||
[#lobby] /me thinks that undone guy is really cool. | |||
will produce: | |||
'''* receive''' thinks that undone guy is really cool. | |||
You'll see above when phaxx said hello to me that his username was highlighted, that's because he had my nickname at the start of what he said. People use this all the time on chat to say something to a specific person. To speed up the process you can type the start of a username, or even just the first letter and then press the tab key to complete it. | |||
An endless variety of emoticons can also be used to express feelings. | |||
