Chat command

When entered into the chat, commands will perform a specific action. Some are just shortcuts to send a message to other chat channels and some will display information about your character. They are sometimes also referred to as "slash commands".

Emotes
An emote is a special type of command, that will make your character perform an animation that can be seen by all nearby players. Please visit the emotes page for a list of emotes.

Informational commands
These commands will display information about your character. This information is only visible for you.
 * /age Shows the time you played Guild Wars in hours and minutes

Chat commands
These commands are shortcuts to send a message to a specific channel without having to select the channel itself. This is useful if you only want to send a message to, for example, your guild while having selected the  channel. All of the following commands will send a whisper message to someone. First of all, you need to type the command, then the name of the receiver of the message and finally the message, seperated by a comma. The comma is needed so the game knows where the name ends and where the message starts. Example:
 * /a Send a message to everyone
 * /g Send a message to your guild
 * /p Send a message to your party (group)
 * /trade	Send a message to the trade channel

If I want to send "Hey do you want to start a group?" to Mr Jack, I will have to type:
 * /t Mr Jack, Hey do you want to start a group?


 * /t Send a whisper message to someone
 * /tell Same as /t
 * /w Same as /t
 * /whisper Same as /t
