THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN EARLIER - Commands

==================================================

* Use "/mood [mood]" to set your mood. "/mood none" resets it.

* The 'f' key performs a "double click" on whatever your mouse is pointing at.

* You can use %t to place whatever you have targetted in an emote. For example, "/gsay Here comes a %t!" would display "Here comes a skeleton!" to your group if you had a skeleton targetted. Other commands are:
%t - name of current target
%r - race of currect target
%s - gender pronoun of current target - he, she, it
%g - gender of current target - male, female, neuter
%o - gender object of current target - him, her, it
%p - possesive noun of current target - his, her, its
%m - displays the name or your current target's pet. If there is no pet then the word "pet" will be displayed.

* Once you hit level 20, you can use /lastname to set your last name.

* Use "/friend [name] to put a friend on your friends list. Use "/who all friend" to see which of your friends is online. "/friend" will show you who is on your list.

* /stopeating and /stopdrinking will stop your character from automatically consuming food and drink. This is useful when going into merchant mode so you do not consume all your food and drink while selling.

* If you played EQ1, preordered, or bought the collectors edition, you may have special items or titles waiting for you in-game. To claim these items, type /claim. You should see a big yellow message reminding you of this when you log in. Keep in mind that you can only /claim things on one character! So make sure to do so on the primary character you intend to play.

* Use the /showhood command to toggle display of your helmet on and off. This affects how everybody sees you, not just how you see yourself!

* You can select yourself by pressing F1. Pressing F1 after that point will toggle between you and you pet (assuming you have one). You can select your groupmates by pressing F2-F6. Pressing F2-F6 as appropriate will toggle between them and their pets.

* If you are in a conversation with an NPC, you can quickly get out of that conversation by hitting the ESC key. ESC can also be used to deselect a target, or close the last bag/bank/inventory window you opened.

* /language shows you all the languages you know. "/set_language [language]" will set you to speak in a particular language. "/set_language common" is what you use to speak "human". Note that capitalization is important.

* You can hit F9 to toggle between 1st and 3rd person. If you scroll wheel into 3rd person and then hit F9, it will remember how far you were scrolled if you F9 again.

* Press 'r' to respond to the most recent tell you've received. Press 'g' to say something in groupsay. Press 'enter' to type something in say or enter a command. After presssing 'r', you can press the up-arrow to scroll through a list of people who have recently sent you tells. This comes in handy when talking with multiple people simultaneously. If you press enter, you can press the up-arrow to see the things you have recently said. Hitting enter again will repeat them as if you retyped it. This is useful when auctioning something, or looking for a group in /ooc.

* You only need to type in as much of a command is needed to make it distinct from any other command. For example "/stope" will currently do the same thing as /stopeating because no other commands start with "/stope". Similarily, "/stopd" works for /stopdrinking because no other commands start with "/stopd". However, "/stop" would not work because both /stopeating and /stopdrinking start with "/stop" (as do /stopfollow and /stopcreation).

* You can use tab completion to complete unique commands, or display all the commands that start with the prefix you have typed. For example, typing "/stope" and then hitting tab will autocomplete the command into "/stopeating" for you. Typing "/stop" and hitting tab will list the commands /stopcreation, /stopfollow, /stopeating, and /stopdrinking. You can use this to figure out what certain command actually are when they don't behave as expected -- for example, /list is actually short for the /listen emote.

* You can get your numerical location in the world by typing /loc, or hovering your mouse cursor over the compass. Some players find it helpful to create a /loc macro to assist in retracing their steps after fleeing.

* You can create a trail (like the one that you can follow back to your corpse after you die) to an arbitrary location by typing in "/waypoint X, Y, Z", where X, Y, and Z are the coordinates of that location (obtained by using /loc or hovering your mouse over the compass).
