Hello, I am a new player, and I would like to ask how do you usually use the chat... it is not so obvious, I haven´t found any information on this!!!

I mean, I can left-click on the dialog and I got GUILD:/say, GUILD:/group...
Or I can click " ´ " (tilde?) and I get only GUILD:

I don´t know why, but now its different, I must have changed something, for it says SAY:/say, SAY:/group...

1) Why does it happen? How do you do it, to do it faster ,before typing the message?

And another question, my ingame name is a little long (12 characters), I like my name, but I think it´s too long, thus 2) nobody should send me a message, too much typing? 3) And how do you send messages to people with name and surname?

Its quite easy once you get used to it. For starters, when you type in /s for say, /g for group, /gu for guild and /as for alliance, you will stay in this channel and type into this channel, unless you change the channel again.

F.e., you logged in fresh and you didn´t type anything yet. By default you will write into public. Now you want to grp and you want to chat with your grp. Its sufficient to type /g xyz. Everything after that will be send into the group channel automatically. So unless you want to send something to your guild/into public/into your alliance you can just type away. The same goes for every channel except trade, lfg and broad. For those you will need to type /trade, /lfg, /b everytime you want to send there.

To send messages to ppl that have a surname, you still only need to type in the normal name. Also, once you messaged them, they can reply by simply pressing 'r', same goes for you ofc.

Hope that helped

you can also define default-channels for chat-windows...I for example have a specific Battle-Group-chat-window, where the BG is default chat...same for guild, group and chatgrp ...it's easier and faster this way, for me at least

Ok, now I can do it! Its easy to do once you know how, but is so hard to explain... Thanks!
