[edit] Description

Players chat with each other in channels. Read the Tibia Rules before using any of these channels. Below is a list and details about each. Text will appear in yellow for most channels.

Channel List: Default, Server Log, NPCs, Game-Chat, Trade, Trade-Rookgaard, RL-Chat, Help, Private Chat, Private Message, Guild, Party, Report Rule Violation and Tutor Channel.

[edit] Default Channel

All messages in this channel will be displayed in the game window right above the character's head. All characters who are visible on the game window will be able to read your statements. You are able to whisper and yell here. And you can speak in any language in this channel. You cannot close this channel

[edit] Server Log Channel

This channel was added in the Summer Update 2009, it contains all texts about information the game wants to tell you (when you last logged in, received damages, dealt damages, loot of a creature killed by you or someone in your party, items used with hotkey, raid messages and gamemasters' broadcast messages). When you try to send a message in this channel, it is sent to the Default Channel. You cannot close this channel.

[edit] NPCs Channel

This channel is used when you talk with a NPC that is standing near you. When you say hi or hello to a NPC, the NPCs Channel will open up automatically. In this channel you speak in blue and the NPCs speak in cyan, some key words are highlighted.

[edit] Game-Chat Channel

Talk about various things in the game such as prices of items or asking if someone would like to go on a quest (and also various game-related things).

[edit] Trade Channel

You can buy, sell or trade your items in here to other players. You can also use it to look for a team to fulfil a quest or for members to your guild. It is available only for characters with a vocation, senior tutors, gamemasters and CipSoft employees.

[edit] Trade-Rookgaard Channel

Just like the Trade Channel. It is available for all characters without a vocation, senior tutors, gamemasters and CipSoft employees.

[edit] RL-Chat Channel

Isn't used a lot, but, if you use it, you may only speak about real life related topics (and you can also speak in any language).

[edit] Help Channel

You ask for help, report illegal names and statement statements as well as game bugs to tutors in here. You may not ask about quest spoiling or start general conversations in here. If you want to report a statement from public channels to senior tutors, do not copy whole statement, rather tell them in which channel and by who some rule was violated. Tutors, senior tutors and gamemasters speak in orange in here. The shortcut for this channel is Ctrl+T.

[edit] Private Chat Channel

This is a private channel only available to players with a Premium Account. They can start the channel, then invite others (can be free account players). You can not be muted while speaking in these channels, therefore you can talk in here in any language.

[edit] Private Message Channel

A Private Message is a way for just two players to talk. It can be opened by right clicking on a player, on their name in a Channel, on their name in your VIP list, by double left-clicking on their name in VIP or by pressing Ctrl+O and typing their name in the line. You speak in blue and the other player speaks in cyan in this channel.

[edit] Guild Channel

Exclusive chat for only members of your own guild can be in here. No Rules apply in this chat. You can not be muted while speaking in your guild channel, and you can talk in here in any language. During a guild war, it will be displayed in the the guild channels of the involved guilds whenever a guild has scored a kill along with the total of all kills reached in this war. Of course, also the end of a war and its outcome will be announced here.

[edit] Party Channel

This channel was added in the Christmas Update 2008. There you have easy communication with your teammates, and you can talk in here in any language. This channel used to inform the party members of the loot but now it's done by the Server Log channel.

[edit] Report Rule Violation Channel

To access this channel press Ctrl+R. You type in a short, yet detailed sentence who has broken a rule and what rule they have broken. The reports are checked by the gamemasters. If you close the window before your report is checked, the report will disappear. Your first message (the report) and the gamemaster's messages are yellow, your messages (except the first) are blue.

[edit] Tutor Channel

This chat channel is only available to players with the position of tutor or higher. Players are allowed to talk in a non-English language here unless there's someone who can't speak it. Also, there is no set topic of discussion although position-related matters should have priority over general chat.
