Description
Materia Magica has several global and semi-global communication methods that you can activate or deactivate based on your current desires.
Using the CHANNELS command, you can toggle the channels ON or OFF that you wish to see displayed in the game.
Available channels are: auction shout announcement game yell hint religion archon clan game talk clan-alliance novicetalk
Depending on your level, some channels may not be available.
Typing CHANNELS with no argument will display your current channel settings across all available channels and channel prefixostfix syntax.
You can review some channel communications you may have missed. See HELP HISTORY.
You can also create your own chat channels through use of the CHAT RELAY command. See HELP CHAT RELAY for more information.
Channel Prefixes
Some players prefer to personalize their communications with 'channel tags'. In order to customize a channel tag, Prefixes and Postfixes may be set, which will be displayed before and after channel messages, respectively. Moderation in Prefix and Postfix messages, both in color and content, are strongly encouraged. As not everyone wishes to be subjected to these channel tags, viewing them can be toggled with the SET command 'SET CHANNEL-PREFIXES'. Currently only the TALK and SHOUT channels support pre- and post-fixes.
