Game Help: Communicating

    Mystavaria is a living world shaped as much by your words as by your actions. Effective communication will help you connect with others, progress in quests, and fully immerse yourself in your character.

    Speaking Aloud
    Use the SAY command to speak to those in your current room:
     SAY <message> or "<message> (shortcut for SAY)

    You can direct your words to someone specific using SAYTO:
     SAYTO <player> <message>

    For broader communication, you can use:
     SHOUT <message> to broadcast to a wider area, or
     WHISPER <player> <message> to speak quietly to someone nearby

    Private Communication
    Private TELLS allow you to speak directly to other players, no matter
    where they are in the world:
     TELL <player> <message> - Send a private message to the player
     REPLY <message>         - Respond to the last person who sent you a tell

    Offline Communication
    If you need to send a message to a player who is not online, you can use
    the MESSAGE system:
     MESSAGE <player> <text> - Send a private message
     MESSAGES                - Read your last five messages
     MESSAGES <#>            - View a longer message history
     MESSAGES LAST           - Read your most recent message

    Messages can be in character or out of character and are not subject to the same RP expectations as SAY or TELL.

    Greeting NPCs
    The GREET and ASK commands are especially important for interacting
    with NPCs:
     GREET <NPC>         - Begin a conversation or trigger responses from the NPC.
     ASK <NPC> <keyword> - Ask an NPC what they know about a certain topic.

    Learn more about greeting and asking in HELP GREET and HELP ASK.

    Emotes and Interaction
    Emotes allow you to express actions, moods, and subtle behaviours.
     EMOTE LIST   - Shows all available built in emotes
     EMOTE <text> - Describe an action beginning with your name
     EMS <text>   - Possessive form of EMOTE

    Refer to HELP EMOTES for further information on using custom and
    targetted emotes.

    Roleplay
    Roleplay is at the heart of Mystavaria and many systems are designed to
    support immersive storytelling. See HELP RP for full guidance on roleplay
    expectations, etiquette, and tips.
