Commands

---

Here's a list of some useful commands for anyone that needs them to get started in the game! The language that commands use are specific and usually case-sensitive. An example of the most useful and common command formats are below.
Having Trouble? Type "help" in your in-game chat bar, along with the command you are looking to use, for example:

help mail

The solution will be given to you on a pop-up screen. You can return to your standard roleplay screen by hitting the submit button. For a full list of commands available in the game, see the Index of In-Game Commands.
