Communication with players is vital to making friends and keeping up
with the Astarian trends. A variety of communication methods are
available, including but not restricted to:
* say (available in current room)
* emote, including whisper (available in current room)
* yell (available in current or adjacent rooms)
* tell (available anywhere, unless target is not receiving tells)
* any global channel (see below)
 
Players can also communicate information via their setsenses and
appearance, notably setlook. Some guilds can create items with custom
descriptions, an unusual means of communication. 
 

=== Channels (broadcasted communication) ===
Channels broadcast messages to all players tuned into them.

Usage: You can tune a channel in or out (eg, tune astaria in), or omit
the channel name to tune them all (eg, tune in). Not all channels
provide communication of custom messages. Non-communicable channels
broadcast system-generated messages only. Use communicable channels by
prepending a message with the name of the channel, eg: astaria Hello
world!

==== List of globally-broadcasted channels: ====
* astaria
* ooc
* politics
* auction
* sports
* arena
* music
* wow
* shout (takes 50% of HP)
* diablo
 

==== Channels only broadcasted to the relevant groups: ====
* clan
* guild
* helpline
* wiz
* masterguild
 
The default line in the realm is the astaria line. However it, along
with most other channels, is only available to use once you have reached
player level 3. The helpline channel is automatically tuned in when you
arrive in astaria, and will automatically be shut off at player level
5. Wizards can view or use any channel at any time. 
 
Other temporary channels of communication include party, mindlink, wizlink. 
 

==== Non-communicable channels: ====
* snipe
* outpost
* death
* pose
 

=== Non-broadcasted communication ===

==== Tells ====
Tells are the most common method of speaking to a player without
requiring them to be in the current room. Send a tell by typing 'tell
<player> <message>'. " is an alias for tell. If you receive
tells from random players, you may be suffering the insane status ailment. Also, some guild-summoned creatures can send but not receive tells. 
 

==== Says ====
Says are the easiest method of speaking to a player in the current
room. Send says by typing 'say <message>'. ' is an alias for say
(eg 'Hello world!). If you see someone talking in your vicinity that
isn't making sense, you may be a witness to psibabble.
