Chat

Tales of Pirates Chat SystemThere are 5 different chat channels: Note: Instead of typing the selected symbol to chat in a channel, a user has the option to use an automated chat type.

World:- By typing an asterisk before a message allows the message to travel to the world channel. This channel allows players to chat to each other where ever they are in the game as long as they are in the map. i.e. people in the deep blue region use the world chat to talk to people in the deep blue. In version 1.36 speaking in World channel costs 200 gold, then next message within 3 minutes costs 200 gold*2, then 200*2*2 etc.

Local:- If the first character the user types into the dialogue box is a letter, the messages sent can be read by nearby players. By typing in the local channel, the chat is more directed at the people near them as a speech bubble appears above the person who typed it.

Guild:- When one types and places an % as the first character, the messages will only be sent to the user's guild members.

Party:- ! is the symbol to type to one's party. When one uses it or when another party member uses it, the messages will be highlighted in the chat box allowing more attention from the party members.

Trade:- Many users type ^ before they chat allowing them to chat in the trade channel. The channel is meant to let users to trade, sell or buy items. The message will be read by all users in the world. However, most users just use the World channel for trades. In version 1.36 speaking in Trade channel costs 200 gold, it will not allow you to speak until the next 3 minutes is consumed.

Camp:- This newly introduced mode of chat is used for Sacred War to talk with team mates, e.g. a pirate guild member in the Union War map can talk to anyone in any pirate guild that is also in the map using the "|" symbol. (Vertical Bar)

There is also Private Messaging, better known as a "PM", which allows a player to chat directly to another player with no one else viewing their speech. It can be done by left clicking another user's name, or by typing @character name, then typing the message to be sent.

Chat Channels: You can block out what you don't want to hear by clicking the speech bubble next to the area where you enter your text. It will give you the option to block out any of the channels stated above and the system.
