Private Messages, Ignores & Emotes

✉ DIRECT CONVERSATIONS
Use direct messages when a conversation does not need to fill public chat. Server rules still apply.
Send a private message
The standard command is:
/msg PlayerName Your message here
The aliases 
/tell, 
/pm, and 
/w work the same way.
You can also type a Twitter-style private message directly into chat:
@PlayerName Your message here
The 
@ must be immediately followed by the player's name.
Reply quickly
Use 
/r to reply to your current private-message conversation:
/r Sounds good!
/reply is the longer version of the same command. Always check the displayed recipient before sharing anything sensitive, particularly when several people are messaging you.
Ignore a player
Toggle messages from a specific player with:
/ignore PlayerName
Run the same command again to stop ignoring them. Ignoring affects what you receive through Herochat; it does not replace reporting harassment or threats to staff.
Disable all private messages
Toggle all incoming private messages with:
/ignorepm
Herochat reminds you when this setting is enabled. Run 
/ignorepm again when you want to receive private messages.
Emotes
Trusted players can describe an action in their current channel with 
/me:
/me waves from the watchtower
The emote has the same audience as ordinary chat in that channel. A Local emote remains local; a Global emote is server-wide.
Useful chat help
/ch help
/ch list
/ch info
/ch help lists Herochat commands available to you.
/ch list lists channels you can access.
/ch info describes your active channel.
Private does not mean exempt: Harassment, spam, scams and prohibited content are still against the rules. Use the reporting process when staff need to investigate.
