Basic chat
Chat panel
The chat panel is a customizable user interface element that allows sending messages to other players, communicate with large groups, and displays various in-game messages in real time. Besides communication, chat commands can be used to perform a number of actions, including character emotes.
Chat panel is integrated with other in-game systems through chat links. It allows to insert interactive links referencing certain elements like waypoints, points of interest, items and skills by clicking an element while holding Ctrl or Shift. These links can also be copied from elsewhere, including this wiki, and pasted manually in the chat panel.
Limitations
One chat line is limited to 199 characters.
After sending messages too frequently (unspecified) subsequent messages will be blocked for an undetermined (and possibly variable) length of time with "Your message was suppressed due to excessive messaging." displayed in the chat panel. Using too many words recognized by the profanity filter in succession can lead to automatic suspension of the account.
Whisper messages sent to a player that is on the character selection screen will not go through. Whispers sent during loading screens will, however.
In WvW only players from your own world can view chat commands, except when using "/w".
Free accounts have additional limitations:
/map chat messages are rate-limited.
Unlock /squad chat for each character at level 30.
Get the chat in PvP Lobby unlocked when the account reaches PvP rank 20 (Emotes, Map and Say chat unavailable during matches).
Can only whisper players who have added the free account holder to their friend list and one new person every 30 seconds.
The July 7, 2020 update added a message to notify players when they are whispering to a player with a Play for Free account who cannot reply. The message reads "This player cannot whisper you back unless you are on the same map or you add them as a friend."
Customization
By default, chat panel is situated in the bottom left corner of the screen, and can be pulled upwards to the top left corner by clicking and dragging its by tabs panel. It can also be resized by clicking on its top-right corner and dragging. The "Show/Hide Chat Panel" button on the bottom left makes the chat user interface transparent, and only recent messages are displayed for a period of time.
Chat Options
At the top-left of the Chat panel is the Chat Options settings cog – clicking on it reveals the following settings:
Text Size — Specifies the size of text.
Drop-down options include "Small", "Medium", and "Large" (similar to "Interface Size" in Options, but only adjusts the size of text within the chat panel.)
Profanity Filter — Specifies the amount of profanity to filter in chat and other communications.
Drop-down options include "None", "Normal", and "Maximum" (Can also be accessed from F11 Options.)
Show Timestamps — Adds the time that each new line of text in the chat panel was added.
The format of the timestamps is taken from your computer's system time settings
Show Channel Tag — Adds a single letter prefix indicating which channel the text was from.
Show In-world Bubbles — Toggles chat dialogue bubbles appearing over player characters.
Show Only English — Only shows chatter from other players with their clients configured in English.
Also available for other language configurations – in that language. [verification requested]
Not available in WvW.
Activating channels
These commands activate a specific chat channel:
Group/party
/invite [name] — invite a player to join your party.
/join [name] — request to join a player's party.

Social
/friend [name] — add a player to your contact list.
/unfriend [name] — remove player from your contact list.
/block or /ignore — prevent a player from contacting you in any way.
/unblock or /unignore — remove a player from your block list.
/lfg — toggle presence status between "Looking for Group" and "Online", and opens the Looking for Group panel.

"You have played this character for <x> hours <y> minutes over the past <z> days."
"Across all characters, you have played for <X> hours <Y> minutes over the past <Z> days."
/rank — drop a banner that will display your current PvP Rank, e.g. if you ranked rabbit it will show a rabbit on the banner and some hopping above.
/rank <1–80> — drop a banner of a specific PvP Rank, no higher than your current rank.
/deaths — displays the number of times your character has died, "You have died <x> time(s)."
/ip — displays the IP address of the server.
/support or /bug — opens the support panel.
/stuck — teleports the player to a nearest walkable point (it gets canceled if the player moves, gets into combat, or does any other action within 30 seconds after using this command, and has a cool-down of 2 minutes. Once moved back to spawn, the /stuck command has a cool-down of 10 minutes). Only works while inside instances, it will tell players to use a nearest waypoint when used on maps. The location is also reported to the developers. Using /stuck also works in PvP maps; the character will be killed after 30 seconds to allow revival at the starting base.
/time — shows the current Tyrian Time.
/emotelist — displays a list of available Emotes.
Search on Wiki
You can directly access the wiki's search page from within the game by using the following command: /wiki [search terms]. It will send you to the main page of the wiki if there are no search terms specified.
/wiki — opens your default web browser to wiki's home page.
/wiki <keyword> — opens your browser to the wiki article named "keyword"; if no article exists, searches the wiki for "keyword" and displays relevant articles.
/wiki [chat link] — opens the browser to a search of up to 10 chat links (any links past 10 will be ignored). Chat links that have a an associated wiki page will have it linked in those search results.
Chat links can be added to the chat textbox by shift+clicking the corresponding object, this allows editing the line before sending it. In contrast, ctrl+click instantly sends the in chat as a message, so that method will not work along the /wiki command.
At this point it is possible to link waypoints, points of interest, items, skills, traits, effects, wardrobe entries, outfits and recipes learned.
/wiki DE: <keyword>, /wiki ES: <keyword>, or /wiki FR: <keyword>
This will search the other language wikis for the matching keywords. Chat links also work.
/wiki GWW: <keyword>
This will search on the Guild Wars wiki for the matching keywords.
Commanders only
/squadinfo — displays the supply carried by each member of your squad.
/supplyinfo — displays the supply carried by players near you.
List of emotes
The /emotelist command will display a list of basic emotes in chat.
Each emote is listed below with the corresponding chat-window text. The Targeted message column shows the text that appears when you direct an emote at the current target, by appending "@" after the emote, e.g. "/salute @".
Some emotes can be used while sitting on a chair placed in the world of Tyria. Novelty chairs do not support any emotes except Victory Rock.
Most emotes are available for all accounts; however, some of them must be unlocked first, as indicated in the following table.
/beckon
/bless
/bow
/cheer
/cower
/crossarms
/cry
/dance
/facepalm
/upset
/geargrind
/heroic
/hiss
/kneel
/laugh
/magicjuggle
/no
/paper
/playdead
/point
/ponder
/possessed
/rank
/readbook
/rock unlocked in End of Dragons
/rockout unlocked in Icebrood saga prologue Bound by Blood
/sad
/salute
/scissors
/scis
/serve
/shiver
/shiverplus
/shrug
/shuffle
/sipcoffee unlocked via marketing promotion
/sit
/sleep
/step
/stretch
/surprised
/talk
/thanks
/thank
/thx
/ty
/threaten
/unleash
/wave
/yes
Notes
^ /rank is a special case: while it causes your character to perform the /cheer animation, it does not send a message to the chat log like other emotes and can only be used once a minute. It does not work in PvP matches or in WvW. Like the /cheer emote, it can be used while sitting on a chair.
^ Does not appear on the /emotelist.
Custom emotes
You can create custom emotes by typing /me, /emote, /em, or /e followed by a space and the text to display as an emote. There are no associated animations for custom emotes, and opponents in World vs World will not be notified of these in their chat logs, they will see "[<world> <rank>] gestures." instead. For example,
/me laughs in triumph displays "[Character Name] laughs in triumph" in a gray color, but the character will not perform the laughing emote. If done in World vs World by a player, a foe would see it as: "[World Name] [World vs World rank] gestures."
Anomaly:
The display radius of this custom emote chat is abnormally big, at least twice as big as the radius of /say chat.
Targeting emotes
If you target another player or NPC and include an "@" after a non-custom emote, the emote will be directed toward that player or NPC.
Example:
/cheer @ while targeting Logan Thackeray displays [Character] cheers for Logan Thackeray .
Note: the "@" is not an actual [Target] variable, so appending "@" to a custom emote just prints the "@" at the end of the custom emote text.
Example:
/me tickles @ while targeting Logan Thackeray displays [Character] tickles @ and not [Character] tickles Logan Thackeray.
Synchronizing emotes
Appending an asterisk "*" to an emote (e.g. "/dance *") will put it into a queue which is processed every 5 seconds. This allows for multiple players to do emotes at the exact same time.
Persistent emotes
Some emotes are persistent - meaning they will not stop until you do a physical action. When you use a skill with an activation time, move, perform an action (including entering combat and looting), sheathe / draw a weapon, or press the Esc key, the emote will end.
Showing your weapons or backpack during an emote
Players can show their weapon persistently during an emote by opening the hero panel once the animation has begun, and unchecking and rechecking the show/hide box. If first-person camera is enabled in the options, zooming into first-person and back out achieves the same effect. Both methods also work on backpacks.
