General
The ingame chat can be used to exchange information, code or for simple idle banter.
Channels
- ~GAME MESSAGES: public system messages from HW and by players sent using message(), or from the system displaying 'busy' messages or error messages about ports. This channel is opened in it's own separate window not linked with the chat window.
- ~CHAT MESSAGES: chat error messages and whispers
- You will join General-0, Trade-0 and Help-0 by default when you log in. The channels that you connect to when you login can be changed to suit the users needs by using the 'Change AutoJoin Channels' feature which is built into the chat.
Chat commands
- /w <user name> <message> : Whispers the message to the specified user.
- /r <message> : Whispers the message to the last user who whispered you.
- /sc <channel name> <password or Token> : Starts a new channel with the given password. If no password is provided it is open for all. If the channel already exists then the channel will be joined, provided the supplied password is correct.
- /cc <channel name> <password or Token> : Creates a channel. Same as /sc.
- /jc <channel name> <password or Token> : Formerly used to join a channel. Now it is the same as /sc.
- /getToken : Channel admins only. Will return a random 15 character string that can be used once to join that channel without the channel's password. Only one token may exist at a time for any single channel.
- /lc <optional:channel name>: Leaves the specified channel or the current channel you're in.
- /kick <user name> : {Channel Admin/Mod only} Kick a user out of the channel. You need to be the channel admin or a moderator to do this.
- /stfu <user name> : {Mod only} Mutes a user. Use the same command to unmute someone.
- /getIP <user name> : {Mod only} Allows the moderator to check the IP of a connected client in order to help prevent chat spam with multiple accounts.
- /muteIP <IP address> : {Mod/!System! only} Mutes all incoming messages from the supplied IP until the chat server is restarted.
- /me <action> : Does an action in the current channel.
- /startUserList : {Mod/Channel Admin only} Will start the user list on that channel for all connected clients. Once the user list is turned on it can not be turned off.
- /afk : Toggles the users current status to AFK mode. This will be displayed next to the user's name in all channel user lists.
- /ignore <user name> : Ignores a user so that you don't have to listen to them talk. Use the same command to un-ignore someone.
- /changeColor <color number> : Allows a player to change their name color if they are an upgraded account. Currently only developers can use this.

Channels
AutoJoin
This feature was introduced along with the new chat system created by AOI222. The AutoJoin feature allows any user to set the channels that they wish the chat to connect them too when the connect or reconnect.
Using AutoJoin is relatively simple, to add a new channel that you wish to auto connect to just click the 'Add new row' and enter the channel name, press enter, then type the password (if there is one, if there isnt just leave blank) and hit enter once again. You must then 'Save' for these channels to be remembered.
To remove a channel from the list, just select the channel you wish to remove. This will highlight the channel row in blue, then select 'Remove selected rows' and again click save.
I'm out of leauge here. Too much brain power on display!
