To chat with those around you, press the ENTER key, then type your text. When you have finished typing, press ENTER to send the message.
<br /><br />
You can send private tells to specific people. To do so, press ENTER then type @tell CHARACTER NAME, MESSAGE TEXT. For example, if you want to send a private message to Bob, you would type the following:
<br /><br />
@tell Bob, Hey Bob! I like that swank new armor!

----

You can re-send a private tell to the last person to whom you sent a tell without having to type their whole name. To do so, press ENTER than type @retell. Then press the SPACEBAR and type your text. For example, if you want to send a private message to Bob again, you would type the following:
<br /><br />
@retell Hey Bob! Sorry to keep bugging you, but I REALLY like that swank new armor!

----

You can reply to someone who just sent you a private tell without typing their whole name. Press ENTER, then type @reply. Then press the SPACEBAR and type your text. For example, if your friend Bob sends you a tell, you would type the following:
<br /><br />
@reply Hey Bob! I just received your private tell!

----

You can send private messages to the members of your fellowship. To do so, press ENTER then type @fellowship, MESSAGE TEXT. For example, if you want to send a private message to your fellowship, you would type the following:
<br /><br />
@fellowship, Hey guys! Did you see that big Olthoi I just killed?

----

You can send private messages to the members of your allegiance. To do so, press ENTER then type @allegiance, MESSAGE TEXT. For example, if you want to send a private message to your allegiance, you would type the following
<br /><br />
@allegiance, Does anybody have a spare Singularity Key they could let me have?

----

Those are the basic chat commands. For more in-depth chat commands, type '@help chatting' in the chat window.<br />
Here is a list of chatting shortcuts:
<br /><br />
@t is a shortcut for @tell<br />
@r is a shortcut for @reply<br />
@f is a shortcut for @fellowship<br />
@a is a shortcut for @allegiance

----

There are also four Global Channels that can be read and spoken on by any character, anywhere in the game.
<br /><br />
To join a Global Channel, type /join [channel name] in your chat bar. You will now see all chat on that Channel.
<br /><br />
To leave a Channel, type /leave [channel name] in your chat bar. You will no longer see chat on that Channel.

----

To talk on a Channel, type /, then the nickname of the Channel, then your text. For example, if I wanted to talk on the Trade channel, I could type:
<br /><br />
/ct I have an Orb of the Bunny Booty that I'm willing to trade for 4 MMDs!
<br /><br />
All characters listening to the Trade channel would see this text, preceded by the tag [Trade].
