text

Text to send.

It is possible to specify modifiers inline with chat text to pass certain information with the "%" character:

• %f - Inserts the name of the current focus target or "<no focus>" into the chat text.
• %n,%t - Inserts the name of the current target or "<no target>" into the chat text.

Details

• Players can use the tell functionality to send messages to players on any realm in that region.
• This does not bypass ignore functionality, which means that the character being ignored will see a reply stating as such. It is also impossible to whisper opposite faction players.
