Some useful commands I recently discovered:


/away [message] - This command will send an automatic message to anyone that sends you a message displaying the text you specified when activating it. The difference between this and /dnd is that you still receive messages with /away, but do not receive messages with /dnd.

/dnd [reason] - This command prevents all whispers from being displayed on your screen. This is excellent if you are in a game and do not want to be disturbed. To turn it off simply type /dnd.

/msg %F(n) - Where n, without the brackets, is the number of a person on your f list. The idea is that you can chat to a specific member of your f list without letting everyone in on the conversation nor having to use their account name. Useful for when being sneaky or simply don't want to confuse others with half-bits of a conversation.

/squelch [character name] (alias: /ignore) - Ignore messages from this player.

/unsquelch [character name] (alias: /unignore) - Turns off squelch for this player.



In Game Commands - These will work only when your character is in a game.

/nopickup - For use in game. This command stops you from picking up items unless the Alt button is held down. Especially useful when dueling.

/framerate - in the basic sense, a beefed-up version of /fps.



Chat Protection /Options (alias: /o)
There are three separate flags which a user can set to customize which incoming chat messages are ignored.

Whispers - When on, private messages from people who are not in your friends list will be ignored.
/options ignorewhispers (alias: /o igw) - This command will ignore whispers from anyone who isn't in your friends list.

/options unignorewhispers (alias: /o unigw) - This command will allow whispers from anyone who isn't in your friends list.

/friends promote [accountname] (alias: /f p) - Promotes the account name in your friends list. If no position is supplied (or is zero) then the friend will be promoted up one place in the list. If the position is supplied then the friend will be moved to that position from the top of the list with number one being the highest position.

/friends demote [accountname] (alias: /f d) - Demotes the account name in your friends list. If no position is supplied (or is zero) then the friend will be demoted one place in the list. If the position is supplied then the friend will be moved to that position from the bottom of the list with number one being the lowest position.

/friends remove [accountname] (alias: /f r) - Removes the specified account name from your friends list. You will receive an error message if the account isn't in the list.
