Commands are used to execute various data-inspective and account-management functions in-game.
Although most routine-use command can be performed by GUI-clickable shortcuts on the client interface, there still remains client-interface incompletions in that regard or times where it may be infeasible to use the client interface (if you want to right-click on another player who isn’t sightable, for example); that is a reason why one may find it resourceful to know the textual commands outlined below.
Do note that whenever commands are designated towards other players, they must be simultaneously online in order for them to be executable; this is because the commands will only sift through the database of online users, thereby necessitating that they’re online.
General Commands
Player-Interaction Commands
/fri or /friend username
Sends a friend request to the designated sendee.
Using the command while the user is online will also defriend them.
/ign or /ignore username
Blocks all messages and requests from the designated player.
Using the command again allows you to remove a user from your ignore list.
/pm username|message
It is used to open up a PM window with the designated sendee—especially useful if their name is not sightable for you to right-click on them. The message argument is optional, but using it will send a message in unison to opening up the PM window.
For example, if you wanted to message Bill456, you would type /pm Bill456 to open up a PM window with them.
This also does work for group chats with multiple people.
(e.g. ‘/pm Red,Naero,Daeon‘)
/pmoff
Disables private messages. Reusing this command will re-enable them, and logging out will also reset the setting.
