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 number of months since creating the current character, the time you played Guild Wars in hours, minutes and days on the current character, and on your account, and also how long you have been on a specific map.
 * /deaths displays how many times your current character has died.
 * /favor either displays how many more titles have to be maxed to achieve Favor of the Gods, or displays how many minutes of favor are left.

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 not 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, separated 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 you want to send "do you want to start a group?" to Mr. Jack, you will have to type:
 * /t Mr. Jack, 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
