Play Time

Summary: Play Time lets you check how long you've been playing the game and manage chat timestamps using the available commands.

How It Works

Typing @playtime prints three lines in chat:

Line	Shows
Online for	How long you've been online in your current session.
Character play time	How long you've played this specific character in total.
Account play time	How long you've played across all characters on your account.

Timestamp

The @timestamp command toggles timestamps in the chat window.

Use the command to turn chat timestamps ON or OFF.

When enabled, chat messages display a timestamp so you can easily see when each message was sent.

Channels

Channels are chat rooms that let you communicate with other players. Each channel has its own purpose, such as general conversation, getting help, trading items, or recruiting party members.

All available channels are joined automatically when you log in, allowing you to start chatting without needing to join each channel manually.

To start chatting in a channel, simply whisper the channel name, including the # symbol, in the whisper chat box.
