Emotes

An Emote is an animated expression that players can perform in-game. Some emotes are available to all players, some can only be learned from existing players, and some are only available to a select group of players (such as Founders).

The current list of known emotes can be accessed by pressing the "O" hotkey with default key mapping.

This page will contain all the known Emotes in the game.

Emote
The Emote command allows you to construct their own emote/text combinations, and also embed animations into those emotes (or regular chat) via percent escape codes.


 * /em or /emote

Any emote with an animation can be used for the embedded animation.

For example, if Darkstarr types "/em jabs their finger %point% threateningly at you.", the chat window will display "Darkstarr jabs their finger threateningly at you.", and will play the animation for the /point emote.

Additionally, you can target emotes at another player using "/ ," which will cause the text to display as targeted at the person in chat. (targeted player must be in range of view)

For example, if Darkstarr types "/point Lord British", the chat window will display "Darkstarr jabs their finger at Lord British", and will play the animation for the /point emote.
