Noob Question...

Wolf Kanno · 06-12-2008, 02:44 AM

I've started going through XI now that I acquired Broadband. Unfortunately, I've never really played MMOs very much so I'm completely clueless. My question is (and this is really dumb) can I get any tips on how to chat between players more efficiently. I had another player talking to me and I was so slow to respond cause I was trying to figure out how to reply that he lost interest.

When someone sends you a /tell, if you hit ctrl+R it'll automatically enter the /tell "Person you last messaged you" command in the chat box. Alternatively and more slowly, you can simply just type it out. So if I message you, and you want to respond, just type "/tell Miriel text text text" to respond.

Crtl+R is an angel.

If you want to chat with one person for a long time you can also enter '/chatmode tell "person"' then whenever you enter text it will automatically be a tell to that person. This works with '/chatmode party', etc.

You can also shorten it if you want, '/cm p' or '/cm t' or '/cm l'.
