;look
 +
*Lets you look at things - the room you're in, other players, objects, even enemy monsters. Typing <code>look</code> by itself merely looks at the room, while typing <code>look me</code> looks at yourself.
  
Look
+
;use
 +
*Lets you use a power or object. Powers work best by using the format of "Use &lt;Power Full Name&gt; on &lt;Target&gt;" Targets that are hostile are best selected by using just the number next to their name in the combat display.
  
-Lets you see the room if you type or by yourself or you can type "Look " to look at a specific person/player/combatant. Combatants work best by selecting their number in the combat log. Players can see when you look at them.  
+
;+rpinfo &lt;topic&gt;
 +
*Gets you more information on the topic, including some items, most powers, roles, professions, etc. A great source of help at the early stages.  
  
<br>Use
+
;public &lt;Message&gt; (can be shortened to pub &lt;Message&gt;)
 +
*Chats in general public, viewable by all players with it turned on (most players at this point). Using the format <code>pub :</code> you can type in emotes that just say your name, rather than your current head's chatter type. Mostly considered OOC and used to pass information or ask questions.
  
-Lets you use a power or object. Powers work best by using the format of "Use &lt;Power Full Name&gt; on &lt;Target&gt;" Targets that are hostile are best selected by using just the number next to their name in the combat display.
+
;Say &lt;Message&gt;  
 +
*Using a prefix generated by your current head type, talks in the current room with a message visible to all players. Generally considered IC, or "In Character" for roleplaying. e.g. Say "Hello all, this is just a test!" What you see: You chirr, "Hello all, this is just a test!" What everyone in the room sees: Chirrs, "Hello all, this is just a test!"
  
<br>+rpinfo &lt;topic&gt;  
+
;Emote &lt;Message&gt;  
 +
*Similar to say, but instead the message displayed to all players starts with just your name, useful for RP. Only displays for the room you are currently in. e.g. emote is simply conducting tests for the wiki, don't mind them. What you see: is simply conducting tests for the wiki, don't mind them. What everyone else sees: is simply conducting tests for the wiki, don't mind them.

*Can be used in two formats, much like public. Typing ooc results in an appearance for your local room that looks like a say, but without your head suffix adding its portion to your chat. Using the format "OOC&nbsp;:" results in an output that acts much like an emote from above.  
  
<br>Public &lt;Message&gt; (can be shortened to pub &lt;Message&gt;)
+
;editplayer
 +
*command that has a lot of functions for editing appearance, your short and long descs can be edited via this command. It comes with it's own built in help for most of them as well, give it a try if you didn't do much during character creation to jazz up your character's appearance to others.
  
-Chats in general public, viewable by all players with it turned on (most players at this point). Using the format "Pub&nbsp;:" you can type in emotes that just say your name, rather than your current head's chatter type. Mostly considered OOC and used to pass information or ask questions.

;Inventory (interchangeable with +Gear)  
 +
*Lists all the current objects you are carrying
