Commands followed by options in brackets [ ] are intended to be used as follows - for /command [option1, option2] - usage would be
/command option1
or
/command option2
Not all commands are available to every player. Some commands are limited to use only by GMs or Guides. Don't even bother trying them - these commands are controlled by the server.
Generic emotes/socials with no associated animation are not listed here as they really provide nothing but flavour for the game, and are pretty hard to misuse. Look in your manual for a complete listing of socials.
Commands in BLACK are available to all players.
Commands in BLUE are Emotes with associated actions and are available to all players.
Commands in RED are not implemented yet, or are no longer used.
Commands in GREEN are Guides and GMs only - ITALICIZED GREEN commands are limited expressly to GMs.
