Text chat is one of the primary ways to communicate with others on the server, the other being the in-game voice chat. It can be used for simple local conversation or to execute a variety of commands.
2.9 Text Chat |
---|
Players must only use the available chat functions for their intended purpose (these are outlined in the ‘chat help’ section of the F1 menu). For example when using the /advert function players must use it realistically and for advertising purposes only. Players may not at any time attempt to bypass the OOC message limit. Organization chat is to be treated like a phone application, and as such players should be aware that other players would see them interacting in it. ‘Panic Binds’ may not be used in organization chat. |
