Other Useful Commands to Map
You can also map (and remap default) commands to other unassigned hotkeys. To do this, go into Options, then the Keys tab.
Some useful ones to map and remap are:
- Paste from Clipboard - Lets you paste information from the Windows clipboard into EQ. Good if you're trying to pass on some information to someone else.
- Cycle nearest NPC - Cycles through the nearest mobs, starting from closest to you and going to the farthest away. This lets you switch targets much quicker than by clicking on the new mob with the mouse, hitting F8, or /tar <name>.
- Cycle nearest PC - Cycles through nearest player to you, starting from closest to you and going to the farthest away. This lets you switch targets much quicker than by clicking on the person with the mouse, hitting F7, or /tar <name>.
- Attack - Lots of words start with A, so having A be default attack button is bad. It's easy to forget you are not in the chat window mode. :)
The /who Command
There are many different ways to use the /who command to find out who is online of a certain group of people. You can obtain a maximum of 20 results (except with GUILD commands, which return everyone) from each search, and each search must be done a few seconds apart. You can also combine the different types of searches to narrow down results even more.
Basic searches
- /who - By itself, /who lists all Player characters from any guild in your zone.
- /whotarget - Returns information about the currently targeted player.
- /who count - Returns number of people in zone.
- /who corpse - Lists all the corpses a Player has in the current zone.
- /who GUILD - Returns number of people from your guild in current zone. GUILD must be capitalized
- /who all friends - Lists all players on your friends list that are online currently.
- /who all - Lists all Player characters in the world.
- /who all <min lvl> <max lvl> - Lists all players from <min lvl> to <max lvl> that are online.
- /who all <class> - Lists all of <class> that are online.
- /who all GM - Lists all GMs/guides that are online.
- /who all GUILD - Lists all Player characters online in your guild, even if they have /roleplay command active.
- /who all "guild name" - Lists all Player characters online that belong to "guild name". The guild name needs to be in " "'s. Guilds with more than one name can be searched, but you need the full first name and enough of the second to be unique (ex: /who all "Vallis A" will give everyone in Vallis Aspectus, if you execute the search on Tribunal).
- /who all lfg - Lists all players that are lfg currently.
Advanced Searches
These are some common combinations of the above searches:
- /who all <lfg> <min level> <max level> - Returns everyone lfg from say, 70 to 75.
- /who all <lfg> "guild name" - Returns everyone lfg from a particular guild.
- /who all <lfg> <class> - Returns everyone lfg from a particular class.

Instanced Zone Commands
Expedition leader Commands (GoD/OoW)
With the Gates of Discord and future expansions, instanced zone functionality increased. This means that you can add, remove, and change players in an expedition, unlike LDoN, where you couldn't change your group without exiting out of the expedition. The following are the commands associated with this. These commands work with the ALT + Z information window only.
- /dzaddplayer <name> - Adds the selected player to your expedition (useable across any zone).
- /dzremoveplayer <name> - Removes the selected player from your expedition (useable across any zone).

- /taskremove <name> - Removes <name> from current mission
- /tasktimer - Shows the time remaining on any timers for shared tasks that you have

Player Made Chat Channels
The command /join <channel name> allow you to join a player created chat channel. You can be in up to 10 of these at once. These channels can be seen across all servers (for instance, serverwide.paladins:paladins), on the server you play on (for instance, a bazaar channel for auctioning gear), or be password protected (and moderated) to protect sensitive information (such as an officer meeting for a guild).
To talk in each channel, you need to find out what channel number the channel you wish to say something in is. To do this, type /list. That will bring up a list of channel names along with the number of people in each channel. Then, type in /# <text> (where # is the number of the channel you want to talk in).
To join a password protected channel, you first need to find out not only the name of the channel, but the password. Once you have both pieces of information, type in /join <channel name>:<password>. To join a chat channel on another server, put the name of the server in front of the channel's name (ex.: /join ayonae.bazaar).
Player made chat channels are not permanent, meaning that once the last person leaves, the channel is gone, with one exception. Password protected channels last for 24 hours after everyone leaves.

These also can be set by using the /usercolor command. Proper format for this command is:

Pauses in Social Batches
You may now enter pauses in social batches with the /pause command. /pause takes an argument from 1 to 600, with the value being equal to the number of tenths of seconds (i.e. /pause 100 will yield a 10 second pause).
For example, a social consisting of:
- /sit off
- /cast 1
- /pause 100
- /sit on
...would cause you to stand up, cast the spell in slot 1, wait 10 seconds after you've STARTED casting the spell, and sit down.
Furthermore, you can also use the /pause command on the same line as another social by separating the commands with a comma. Even though the pause command is specified first, it is executed AFTER the command on the same line.
For example:
- /sit off, /pause 100,/cast 1 /sit on
...would have the same effect as the example above. It is important to note that the comma can only be used to separate a /pause command from another, and MUST be specified first on the line.
