User-defined macros are automated commands that allow you to record multiple actions and trigger them with a single button or key stroke.

Creating Macros
1. Select Config from the main menu, and then Macros.

2. Move the cursor to one of the slots and push enter to display the macro registration window.

3. Enter the title and text command, then register your macro.

Triggering Macros
1. Display macro palettes with the Ctrl or Alt key.

2. Select the macro you would like to trigger.

Entering a text command starting with the “/” key allows players to change equipment, use abilities, and perform other various actions.
*During the Beta Test, the following text commands can be used.

/?
Displays the help message associated with that command. Works with abbreviated commands as well.

Format:
/? [text command]

Example:
/? action
Will display the help message for the /action command in the log window.


/chatmode
Sets the default chat mode.
When setting the chat mode to “Tell,” you will also need to designate the PC with whom to chat.
If you do not enter the chat mode to use, the currently set chat mode will be displayed.

Format:
/chatmode [chat mode]

Example:
/chatmode party
Will set the default chat mode to “Party.”

Example:

what are you using now? o_O i just upgraded to unifi 10mbps last monday and i less lag now.. but still the client need a more optimization and i need to upgrade my GPU

I'm using Digi BB Extreme RM188 a month 25GB cap.
Yeah its pricey, but I'm very happy with it.

I played LoTRO, Aion, FFXI and other F2P games with it - no problems.
Exception was Aion, I had to rely on Proxy because they blocked the ports

As for downloads... I can download at an average of 200kb/s. One time it even reached 400kb/s.

Ooh... Ok, as what I see from their site, they offer 700kbps DL and 200kbps UL speed. Do they really offer constant speed like they claimed? And let say I subscribe to 10gb cap plan, would the bandwidth be enough for me to play online games for the whole month?
