Chat

Chat

The chat is one of the main social features in Isleward.

Basics

To send a message to everyone in the game, simply press enter and type a message. The message will be color-coded depending on the sender's level, with the colors corresponding to the colors of different item qualities.

Chat Tabs

The chat has multiple tabs at the top to filter out messages. The default tabs are info, reputation, players, and loot, but at times more will appear, for example when using custom chat channels.

Custom Channels

Custom Channels are channels that can be created by anyone to have a different feed of messages. Custom channels are joined (created if non-existent) with /join <channel name>, and can be left with /leave <channel name>. Once joined, a button with the channel name will appear above the chat window, similar to the basic buttons. To say something in a custom channel, type $<channel name> <message>.

Linking Items

You can link items in the chat by opening your inventory, holding CTRL and clicking on the item. This will link the item into the chat, and when a player opens their inventory and hovers over it, it will display the name and stats of the item. Pressing enter and hovering over the name of the item will also display the stats of the item. Linked items appear in the chat as {Item Name}, with the appropriate color for the item's quality.

Whispers

Players can whisper to each other (send direct messages that no other players can see) by typing, @player <some text to whisper to them>. If the player's name has spaces in it, you can do @"Player Name With Spaces" <some text>.

Party Chat

Players can send messages to their party members by prefixing the message with % (for example, %Hello party members!).
