Dot Commands are are used for many various things, giving the user access to options and other helpful tidbits that are not found in the default interface for Ultima Online. While most other games might use either a /command or a [command on Pangaea it is .command so for those new to Pangaea but used to either Ultima on other platforms or other online games in general, this might be a little tricky to get used to but it isn't a huge hurdle to overcome.

Counselor Commands

A Counselor is a normal player who has decided to help out the staff by answering some of the lesser questions mostly to do with game play leaving the more serious questions for the Game Masters and Admins to answer. This being said, they have a set of dot commands that allow them to more easily help out those who are in need of assistance.

Command Description
.gms {text} This allows a counselor to send a broadcast to every staff member currently online.
.ooctalk This allows a counselor to politely remind another player that this is a roleplay shard and that their current conduct is not appropriate for such a shard.
.helpqueue This allows a counselor to check the current pages that are awaiting an answer.

Account Commands

These commands deal mainly with your account.

Command Description
.myaccount Allows you to see and change the email address currently attached to your account or change your password. Just erase the text in the boxes when typing out your new password.
.checkmail Checks to see if you have any new in-game mail. This mail is generally automated reminders from staff about things such as a house decaying soon. Mail is automatically checked when you first log in.
.options Allows you to set some specialized options not available in the default options menu for Ultima Online such as job options, sound options as well as selling options.

List for .usewand {wand_type}

Commands tailored to using wands quickly. It is important to note that this command only uses the wand and will not automatically unequip the wand.
