There are many functions built into the client, server and Razor that are there to make this complex game a little simpler. Even a lag worn veteran of the original age can learn a thing or two from this page...
Client Commands-[]
Speech[]
- ! followed by the space bar = Shout (what you say is heard two screens away)
- ; followed by the space bar = Whisper (what you say is heard max 1 tile away. Yet, pets/summons/allures/etc. will always hear your whisper so you can do things like whisper "all follow me" while you emote "whistles". That way looks to others as if you whistle and then your pet comes to you)
- : followed by space bar = Emote
- Ctrl-Q = Circle backwards through the things you have said today
- Ctrl-W = Circle forwards through the things you have said today
- Ctrl-S = Salute (can be set to another macro)
- Ctrl-B = Bow (can be set to another macro)
Objects[]
- If you hold down the Shift key, when you drag items around, then you can drag an entire pile of objects without specifying a number you wish to drag
- If you hold down the Shift key, when you buy items from NPCs, then you can buy out their entire stock with one double-click
- Hold down the Ctrl key Shift key to have the names of all nearby objects and targets appear (handy for reaching else unreachable items and targets)
Combat/Party/Guild[]
- / = Party talk (general)
- \ = Guild talk (general)
