Emote (Slash Command)

Slash Command

/emote text

Aliases: '/e, /em, /me, and ;'

Causes the character to attempt to display the animation or the text specified.

• Text is the name of the animation you'd like to perform or the text of the message you'd like displayed.
• This command has a unique alias, the semicolon ";". If a semicolon is typed in the chat box, then everything after it will be treated as the emote portion including the space, so leave the space off. Additionally, the semicolon is bound to /beginchat ;, so pressing the semicolon when the chat box is not in focus will focus on the chat box and put a semicolon in for you. Note: The semicolon alias does not work in binds.

Animation Emotes

Use the emote command with the name of an animation to make your character perform an action. See the Emotes page for a list of animation names.

Spoken Emotes

If the text specified does not have an animation, will simply display in a thought bubble. Additionally, the text will show up in the Emotes chat channel. The Emotes channel is similar to Local and has a range of 50-100 feet depending on the zone.
