Commands
In the game you can open some windows and information by typing a short command in the chat line; you also give spoken commands to your pets, to NPCs and in your house (below › Spoken commands). A command starts with [ and runs when you press Enter; others do not see it. Command names are UORoots' own short words (such as [hayvanlarim, [sans); type them exactly as written.
Commands do not count as chat: the Ancient Watcher's chat moderation does not catch them.

Spoken commands
These are not typed with [ but in the chat line as if you were speaking. Capitalization does not matter. Repeating these words does not count as spamming chat for the Ancient Watcher.
To your pets
Start with all and all your pets nearby listen; start with the pet's name and only that one listens (e.g. Shadow follow me). It is hard to give a command to a single pet whose name has a space in it; give it a short name.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
all come / <name> come |
Comes to you. |
all follow me / <name> follow me |
Follows you. |
all follow / <name> follow |
Asks whom to follow; choose someone with the cursor. |
all guard me / <name> guard me |
Guards you: attacks whoever attacks you. |
all guard / <name> guard |
Asks whom to guard; choose with the cursor. |
all kill / all attack (or <name> kill) |
Asks for the target to attack; choose with the cursor. |
all stop / <name> stop |
Stops what it is doing. |
all stay / <name> stay |
Waits where it is. |
<name> drop |
A pack animal or a pet carrying something drops what it carries on the ground. |
<name> friend |
Makes the player you choose a friend of the pet: that person can also give it the follow, stay and stop commands (cannot ride it or make it attack). |
<name> transfer |
Opens a trade window to transfer the pet to the player you choose; when they accept, the pet is theirs. |
<name> release |
Releases the pet: it is no longer yours and you cannot get it back. It asks for confirmation. |
Most of these commands are also in the menu that opens when you left-click the pet. Bonding, loyalty and control slots → Animal Tamer.
To the banker
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
