EMOTES (/me, /do)
Emotes are used to perform actions with your character. It shows other people what your character is doing. Players make the mistake of sometimes trying to tell their story through them, which incites meta-gaming and is wrong. Players also make the mistake of straying away from the third person (there never should be a "you" or "your" or "yours" in a /me, /do or any command that refers to others, such as the actions legal faction members do in /m (*You'd see red and white in your rear view window.*).

But there's the /describe or you could say /appearance thing which automatically puts your character's description in /do.Khaleesi said:Small update: better title and the fact that your character's description shouldn't be done via /do, but perhaps /me or /ame.
Some people don't use that, the same way they don't use /accent. I dislike /accent and I don't use it as a result of that, per example, but I still have characters talking with a specific accent.PossibleIX said:But there's the /describe or you could say /appearance thing which automatically puts your character's description in /do.Khaleesi said:Small update: better title and the fact that your character's description shouldn't be done via /do, but perhaps /me or /ame.
Well, i could agree with you on that cause /accent are just stupid imo and expect for trollish and newb people I don't see that many players using the command /accent but /describe thing is still popular.Khaleesi said:Some people don't use that, the same way they don't use /accent.
