Slash Commands (EQ2)

EverQuest II has a number of commands and personalization options that can make every player's experience unique and in some ways tailored specifically to their liking. One way of doing this is with Slash Commands.

Slash Commands (a term for commands or actions that start with a forward slash: / ) is a broad category of optional commands that includes shortcuts, actions/emotes, keyboard commands, settings and more.

! = /shout

Further Commands for Chat and Macros

When speaking, you can use a series of "% codes" that expand into various pieces of information. These are also useful when creating macros. Note that they are case sensitive: using lower case will return a lower-case result (%O will return Him, %o will return him). Race (race name or "Unknown") and gender ("Male," "Female," "Neuter") results are always capitalized.

%M - Returns the character's pet's name (when they have a pet)
%T - Returns the current target
%S - Returns the subjective gender-specific pronoun for the target (He, She, It)
%O - Returns the objective gender-specific pronoun for the target (Him, Her, It)
%P - Returns the possessive gender-specific pronoun for the target (His, Her, Its)
%R - Returns the race of the target
%G - Returns the gender of the target
