Chat

The chat is the main communication tool in Cabal (and nearly every other online game).

=Types of Chat= The chat is split into different types each with different color.

Normal chat
Normal chat can be activated by the shortcut key /n. Upon clicking "enter", your chat appears in a speech bubble above your character.

Whisper chat
Whisper chat is also commonly known as "PM" or Personal Message. It can be activated by the shortcut key /w. Suppose that I want to Whisper SCOTCH using my character Watch, it would look something like this. In the event that the character is offline or does not exist, an auto message is returned to you as shown above.

Party chat
Players are able to party across channels in the same server and communicate by using the Party Chat, shortcut key /p.

Guild chat


Using commands /G or /g and a space at front of a text will enable you to activate the guild chat. Guild chat is displayed in green, and your message will be sent only to the other guildsmen.

Trade chat
Trade chat is done by the /t command. Your message will be repeated periodically for all to see until you chat again using any of the chat types.

Loud chat
The Loud chat or more commonly known as shout, is activated by /L. Players can only use this chat within 10 second intervals. Here are some common chat notations used in-game.

Chat channels
Chat channels allow you to chat with multiple persons while not being in a group or guild with them and while you are at different places or even on different server-channels. It is a great tool to use if you want to communicate in war zones if players are of different nations (Capella or Procyon).

You can join a channel by clicking the "Participate"-Button inside the chat-options.
