* In ''[[Ever Quest]]'' and ''[[Ever Quest]] 2'', "/who all bard 30 40" lists all of the Bard player characters between level 30 and level 40 who are currently online on the server.
** /Pizza will also take you to the pizza hut website to order a 'za online.
Line 24:
** It's not just WoW. Nearly every MMO has a large number of slash commands.
** The players also like to mock these in the chat channels. For example. Party A makes a comment against Party B, intended to be disparaging, insulting, riling, or otherwise offensive. Party B writes /wrists, which implies that he slits his wrists. But it's usually done sarcastically.
** One joke video said that a secret cheat was /enable {{spoiler|[[Rick RollRickroll]]}}.
* In the ''[[Unreal Tournament (Video Game)|Unreal Tournament]]'' series of games everything typed in the console, which doubles as the text chat, is treated as a command. Only lines which start with a chat ("say", "teamsay") command are then broadcasted. Also, Every function in the game engine has a corresponding command, pressing any key has the effect of typing a console command without showing it in the console.
* ''[[Battle for Wesnoth]]'' is one of the least clunky pieces of open source software, but text commands (entered through the colon) are still the only interface for shuffling people around in multiplayer games.
