Template:EverQuest/Header EverQuest has a command structure which is similar to many Internet-based chat systems such as IRC and MUDs. This evolution from text-message communication to video-game is the backbone of EverQuest's strength: it relies on successful models that worked well for its predecessors.

Commands

Combat

Combat commands initiate combat, select targets, etc.

/assist [target]

Simply target a player (most times your Main Assist = MA) who is engaged in combat. The /assist command will automatically target for you whoever that player is fighting at the moment. Everybody should have that hotkeyed.

/assist [on/off]

This turns off/on autoattack-on-assist. If /assist on is typed, then each time you type /assist or /assist [player], you will also begin attacking. If /assist off is typed, then each time you type /assist or /assist [player], you will not begin attacking (if you want to attack, you'll have to additionally press your auto-attack button). For raids, everyone should have their assist toggled to off. this toggle is persistent, if you turn it to off it should stay that way until turned on, also after relogging.

/attack

Toggles attack mode on/off. better be careful when e.g. shopping in town.

/autofire

Same as auto attack, however triggers the ranged weapon.

/consider or c

Returns information about your target including how dangerous they are likely to be in combat.

concolors, where gray gives no experience, and red gives most. New concolors, October 2006:
  • Gray (so low level its not even remotely fair. These are normally afraid of you, and with good reason.)
  • Green (far below your level)
  • Light Blue (very little experience reward)
  • Darkblue (a challenge, but reasonable reward)
  • White/Black (even challenge (your level), and high reward)
  • Yellow (one or two levels above you (1-3 lvls above at lvl 71. only 75 and above red); excellent experience)
  • Red (more than two levels above you; almost certainly too hard, but the best experience)
/decline

Declines offer to duel.

/discipline

was that a command from the original EQ (I think not)? or introduced later? if later, when?

/duel or /d

Either challenges a player or accept a challenge for a duel. Please note: you used to be able to lose exp when dueling, but this has since been changed.

/rtarget or /rt

Targets the character you received the last tell from. It has the same range limit as the /target command. If the characters isn't in range, but there is a corpse of this character near, this corpse will be targeted. Yes, you can send the tell to the corpse. The owner will receive it.

/target [name] or /tar

Targets the nearest character, mob or corpse who's name begins with the given name. This works in a limited range. Mobs who's name have spaces in it can be targeted changing spaces with underlines (Ex: "a moss snake" => a_moss_snake).

/whotarget

Shows you name, level, and class and guild tag for the targeted person. If the Person is "anonymous", the command will not return level, class and guild tag, but name only. A name can be provided to the command to display information of this character, but the character has to be in the same zone.

Communication

Communication commands allow the player (either in or out of character) to communicate with other players.

/auction
/autojoin [channelname]

Automatically joins the channel at login. Patch June 29 toggled on autojoin for all players for the following channels. 1 - continent. 2 - class. 3 - General.

/channel [channelname]

Joins the specified channel.

also see http://eqforums.station.sony.com/eq/board/message?board.id=Veterans&message.id=49623 about various chat channel specific commands (passwords etc.)

/filter
/friend [name]

Adds (or removes) a character's name to a special text file on your hard drive. Use with /who friend all to see when your friends are online and what zone they are in.

/gsay or /g

groupsay. only members of your group can read it.

/ignore [name] 

Adds (or removes) a player to a special text file on the individual hard drive of the computer where the command was given, allowing a player to not see any type of communication from the character's name they typed after /ignore. Limited to 100 characters.

/language
/msg
/ooc

out of character. Zonewide message.

/reply
/say

Players in your vicinity can hear you.

/shout

zonewide message. usually shouting is deemed to be vulgar behavior and /ooc or /auction should be used instead. On the Firiona Vie Server /ooc does not work though, so shouting is the only way for zonewide messages.

/tell
/ttell

Send a tell to the player you have targeted. Also works when targeting a player's corpse.

/yell or /y 

yell for help. also useful when trying to find friends in zones, as the game message is "xyz yells from e.g. behind and left"

/who

shows you name, level, and class and guild tag for everyone in the zone who is not /Anonymous or /Roleplay (For characters who are in /anon mode, /who will only return their name followed by the [Anonymous] tag. For characters who are in /Roleplay mode, /who will only return their name and guild tag).

/who [all]
/who [class]

same as /who except the list will only return names that match the class you specify after the /who command

/who [class] all 

returns a list of every player currently online (all zones on your server) who matches the class you specify after the /who command. (e.g. /who all Enchanter)

/who [level range][level range] 

same as /who except the list will only return names that match the level range you specify after the /who command. (e.g. /who 1-10)

/who [guild]

returns a list of every player in the zone from a particular guild name that you specify

/who [guild] all 

same as /who [guild] except this command returns a list for every player currently online (all zones on your server) who match the guild name you specify

/who [name]

same as /who except the list will only return names that match the name you specify after the /who command

/who [name] all

same as /who [name] except the list will return the names of every player currently online (all zones on your server) who matches the naming criteria you specify)

/guildstatus [name] or /guildstatus [target]

Shows the guild name and status (member, officer, leader) of your target or a named player in the same zone. Note that this works even if your target is [Anonymous].

Death

These are commands related to character death, corpse dragging, etc.

/consent [name]

Allow another player to drag your corpse. Originally (I believe?) allowed them to loot your corpse.

/consent group

Allows any member of the group you are currently in to drag your corpse.

/consent raid

Allows any member of the raid you are currently in to drag your corpse.

/corpse

Summons your corpse (or targeted player corpse who has given you consent) if you are within a short distance of the corpse. Very useful when your corpse is in a location where it isn't safe to loot or rez.

/corpsedrag

Toggles ON a series of /corpse summons, effectively letting you (especially if you are a raid Rogue) drag up to 3 corpses over long distances (not across zonelines alas).

/corpsedrop

This is the counterpart to /corpsedrag. to let go of a corpse, you need to target it and use this command.

/hidecorpse

Obviusly hides corpses. takes an argument (all, other (something like that)) toggles both ways.

Emotes

Emotes are non-verbal communication cues such as dancing or smiling. Some activate a pre-defined physical gesture while others simply report the action as text to nearby characters.

/emote or /em
/dance
/me
/random
/smile
/tap

Group

Group commands allow characters to join, manage or leave groups and raids.

/disband

Removes you from your current group, or removes the targeted group member if you are the group leader.

/follow 

makes you follow the person targeted (has to be a member of your "group").

/gmarknpc
/invite 

Invites a fellow player to join your group. Since the patch June 29, 2005 you can even invite players which are not in your vicinity, but in different zones.

/lfg 

Looking for "Group" places an LFG tag behind your name using the "LFG" tool (introduced with the "Legacy of Ykesha" expansion) you/others can find other groups/players which are looking for members/groups.

/makeleader [name] 

makes the named person the leader of the group. Leaders can learn Leadership points (as long as they purchased the "Gates of Discord" expansion (TSS expantin lets you mentor others in group, ie. give others your leadership points (20% of your XP))

Magic commands manipulate the magic system; casting spells, editing spell books, etc.

/book [#]

opens your spellbook at the specified page

/cast [#]

Casts the spell in the matching spellslot. Valid number range from 1 - 9 (Used to be only 1 - 8, but with the introduction of the "Omes of War" (IIRC) expansion players were able to earn a 9-th slot).

Status commands query or set the status of your character and certain default actions (such as auto-inventory).

/afk [message] or /afk

"away from keyboard"–Sets a pre-defined response to any "tells" and places an "AFK" marker next to the character's name. If used with a message, players who send you a "tell" receive your message in addition to the standard "I am AFK" message.

/anonymous - /anon

doing a /who will not list your details, only your name, and the (Anonymous) tag. When doing a /whotarget, it will only show your name, but not class/race. /guildstatus works, showing you your targets guild, and his/her role in the guild, so you can talk to a griever's officers and complain if he is in a guild.

in your actions window you have a number of ability buttons. to load an ability, right-click on such a button and pick one of the available abilities. example: beg. let us say this is placed in the first ability button. now you can make a macrobutton / social button using the command /doability 1 to beg money from a targeted NPC.

/dopropertinting

think this is obsolete. supposedly have to do with the way colors are handled in the graphics.

/help

shows a list of commands.

/invite or /inv playername

invites a player to join your group (since summer 2005 even across zones)

/keys

shows keys on your virtual keyring. some zones require (quested) keys to enter. when you have used it once, your character gets flagged as having the key, and you can leave the key in bank, or even if you are a brave soul, destroy it. still works. if not bugged.. the command shows your key flags.

/log ON/OFF

starts/stops writing everything shown in your chatwindows to a textfile for diverse uses. often used to calculate DPS (damage per second) and other interesting numbers. also of course shows what people said, but can be edited, so no conclusive evidence. this logfile grows very big over time, so it is an idea to rename the file after each player session, or at least once in a while. a new one is started automatically if you have the logging flag on.

/loot

opens the loot window for a targeted corpse. Corpse does not have to be visible to loot it.

/lootnodrop
/mcicontrol
/mixahead
/mousespeed
/movelog

request your character to be moved to a different server. certain restrictions may apply (e.g. serverchoice wise). Patch 29, 2005 - SOE added a discard function. Greatly used, when SOE merged servers (March 2005 through May 2005), as the population began to dwindle.

/note

opens a textfile note.txt, handy for scribbling short "note-to self" stuff.

/open

opens targeted container

/pet

a set of commands telling your pet how to behave. example: /pet hold

/petition

beg a guide or GM for help.

/played

shows creation time of character, and amount of days(24-hour ones) hours, minutes played on character.

/raidinvite name 

invite player to a raid. with patch Oct 27, 2005 invites can even be done across zones.

/report
/safelock
/send
/setstartcity

GM's/Guides only, I guess. If you try to execute it, you get a message like "your starting city has been set already"

/veteranReward

introduced May 13, 2005. you are able to execute the command for as many characters as you are a customer in years. e.g. 3 years, 3 characters. In order to get more customer onto yearly priceplans, SOE had a limited offer, where you got to the next higher grade when you purchased a (99 USD) yearly plan (valid until early June 2005 only). when this special offer expired, they actually announced the increase of the monthly fee from 12,99 to 14,99. the rewards range from:

1 year: Lesson of the Devoted: The player is surrounded by a beautiful blue/white glow as they gain double experience for half an hour every 24 hours.
2 years: Infusion of the Faithful: Usable once every 24 hours, the player enjoys maximum resistances and statistics and a faster run speed for 15 minutes while he glows brightly with power.
3 years: Chaotic Jester: Summons a Bristlebane puppet that persists for 15 minutes. Usable once every 24 hours, Bristlebane will randomly cast various spells that provide benefits or minor penalties.(and cracking very bad jokes while he's at it)
4 years: Expedient Recovery: Usable once per week, all the player’s corpses are summoned to their feet and given 100% experience resurrection (provided the resurrection timer have not run out).
5 years: Steadfast Servant: Summons a creature that casts healing spells upon the player and others nearby. Lasts for half an hour and is usable once every 24 hours.
6 years: Staunch Recovery: Usable once every 3 days, the player is fully healed with health, mana, and endurance fully restored.
7 years: Intensity of the Resolute: Increases the power of the player’s abilities and heals substantially for 5 minutes once every 24 hours while the player is surrounded by a glow of energy.
8 years: Throne of Heroes: Gates you to the Guild Lobby zone.

All these veteran abilities are hotbuttonable from within the AA (Alternate Advancement)window.
