Commands

These are the commands for EverQuest.

Note: EverQuest supports abbreviated versions of many commands - for example, /emote can be shortened to /emot, /emo, or /em. We will not document all abbreviations here, but some alternative commands will be included (such as "/me" and ":", which are alternatives for /emote).
