Help Index :: Communication :: Tell SYNTAX tell : list your most recent tells tell : show tell history for player specified tell : send a private message to a specific player to : interact with a mob/npc DESCRIPTION The 'tell' command allows private communication between players. Unlike chat, gossip, and auction, which are all public channels, and even grouptell, tell is a private channel which only includes yourself and your 'target.' Use of tell thus enables you to have secure conversations and helps reduce spam on the public channels. To list the most recent 'tells' which you have received, type 'tell' with no arguments. Tell is used for out of character (ooc) discussions. Frequently you will need to share some information or respond to a mob's query. For this, see help to and help ask. See also: to and channels
