Did you know .. ?
Taking a moment to answer a question is nice.
Taking a minute to summon some gear or do a combine for someone is very nice.
Taking a few minutes to help someone find something or help with a quick kill is downright neighborly.
Giving away gear to needy lowbies rather than trying to get the best price in bazaar is pretty classy.
Taking half an hour or more to help someone clear / farm / camp something will make you a saint in their eyes.
I must be a god by now. /grin

..and finally, before the combat abilitys you had to type /disc ___ to use your discs, and just typing /disc told you the time remaining.
The /disc <ability name> commands still work. It's how you set up special hot keys to fire your disc as well as do something else (AET and /disc Fortitude is a common warrior hot button). Also /disc will still give you your timer.
Did you know you can see what abilities are shared on each combat ability timer? After using a combat ability, type /disc and all the disc's on the timer will show up, not just the one you used.

How do you get in-game chat text to show up as if it's a link?
Here are some detailed instructions I typed out for my guild:
If you have the hot button you want to add the link to already created then skip to step 3.
1) While logged in, make your hotbutton.
2) Log all the way out of the game. (Yes all the way out! See the Did you know below for a quick way of doing this.)
3) Open up notepad and then open up your Playername_tribunal.ini file. This will be in the Everquest directory and contains all your hot buttons.
4) Scroll down to where you see the text of your hot button.
5) The link has 3 distinct parts. Those little boxes on each end define the start and end of the link. The code gives you the nice colored link. And the text is what will be displayed as a link.
So in the example:
Please assist me on 0038-2F14-1150-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0004A %t
Your current target (%t) will show up as a link.
If you wanted the "Please assist me" to be a link you would do:
0038-2F14-1150-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0004A Please assist me on %t.
Notice that the special characters only define the start and end of the link. They don't act as spaces or any kind of punctuation and you can use more than one link on a line.
6) Rinse and repeat for all your hot buttons you want a link in.
7) Save your .ini file, restart EQ and spam the guild.
If you are having problems cutting and pasting, try using this line:
*0038-2F14-1150-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0004A INSERT TEXT HERE*
Once you cut and paste that into notepad, replace the text and then delete the two *'s.
Hope that helps. If there are question, just ask.
Did you know.....
.... you can type /camp desktop to fully camp out with the 30 second timer but EQ will quickly exit? Where as /q will leave you LD in the game. Did you know that /camp server will take you to the server select?
