Couple of noob questions...

First of all, is there a /who cmd to find out if someone is on other than just typing a chat msg to them? Also, are there any chat shortcuts? It gets quite old having to click the different chat tabs. I'm sorta spoiled by other games where you can just /r for reply and /t for tell or even /w for whisper.

I dont think there is a /who cmd or anything like that. However, if you add that person to your friends, you can see if they are online or not. Just press "n" and you'll see it from there.

As for the chat shortcuts. I know two ways. There are shortcuts like /g "msg" for guild and such but I prefer the quicker way. Have you noticed that on the labels there are signs?

For All chat its:!
For Guild chat its:@
For Team chat its:#
For Trade chat its:$
and Whisper doesnt work for this.

Well all you have to do is press these symbols to do it. How?

Well hold shift and press the corresponding number

If I was talking in all chat earler and my guild-mate gets on and says hi to us I can press shift+2 and then type stuff to him

easy as that, also, If I can find the /"key" cmds for you, I'll post them here as well but I prefer the other method.

Whisper can work, and there are 2 ways you can use it

- By pressing on that character name and then typing a message, or
- By pressing " and after the name (remember the character!) you type the message in then

Actually, there is a quick whisper key. If you hit your "Backspace" key, it will pop up a whisper message already set to the last person who whispered to you.

If you didn't know that, I am scared of you.
