Chat interface
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
 that this article or section be merged with Message box. (Discuss). |
The chat interface is located in the bottom left of the game window. It displays various chat and game messages in the message box and has a series of buttons to control what is displayed in the message box, namely the All, Game, Public chat, Private chat, Clan chat, Trade, Assist and Report abuse buttons.
Update: 21th May 2008: Another option is added, Quick chat. There is a small button (
) behind the player's name.
Left clicking a button toggles the dialogue window to show only messages related to that button. To see all messages the player must click the All button.
Right clicking a button allows the player to choose which types of messages of the button's type that are displayed in the message box. Types include:
- On - All messages of the message type are displayed in the message box and main screen. Messages from players on your ignore list are not shown.
- Friends - Only friends and moderators’ messages are shown in the message box and main screen.
- Off - Only messages from Player moderators and Jagex moderators are shown in the message box main screen.
- Hide - All local messages are shown in the main screen, but no messages appear in the player's message box except, once again, that of a Player or Jagex Moderator. This option only appears for the Public button.
Before the Grand Exchange, many players used the Hide option when they went into heavy populated areas so that the sheer quantity of messages wouldn't flood the message box, thus allowing trades to be easily seen. Clicking the Trade button has the same effect.
Note: Chat from player moderators and Jagex moderators (excluding the Quick Chat) is always shown in the main screen and message box, regardless of your chat settings. The ignore list is the only way to get around this.
