Chat Channels

DAoC separates guild chat, group chat and the realm-wide advice channel. /gc is guild, /g is group, and knowing them saves fumbling in a fight.

/gc Keep is under attack at Caer Benowyc
/g Regroup at the milegate

Where to paste this

Type /macro NAME command to create an icon labelled NAME on your first free quickbar slot.
Drag the icon wherever you want it on your quickbars.
Bind a key to that slot with /qbind, which takes a page, a slot and a bar number.
Use /qbar to switch which quickbar page is showing.
Macros save with your character, so a layout survives between sessions.

More DAoC macros

DA
Assist on Siege
General
```
/macro Siege /groundassist Siegeleader
```
Copies the ground target of a named player so a whole line of catapults fires at the same spot. This is how organised keep sieges actually work.
DA
Assist the Main Assist
General
```
/macro MA /assist Mainassist
```
Targets a named player and picks up whatever they are attacking. Eight-player groups in the frontier live on this, because focus fire wins fights.
DA
Bind a Key to a Quickbar Slot
General
```
/qbind 1 2 2
```
Maps a keyboard key to a specific quickbar page and slot, which is how a macro gets fired without clicking it. The three numbers are page, slot and bar.
DA
Check Realm Points
General
```
/realm
```
Prints your realm rank and points. Realm rank is the long-term progression that keeps people in the frontier for years, so people check it often.
DA
Create a Quickbar Macro
General
```
/macro Stick /stick
```
Makes a labelled icon on your first free quickbar slot that runs the command after the name. The name has to be short because it has to fit on the icon.
DA
Face Your Target
General
```
/macro Face /face
```
Instantly turns your character to face whatever you have selected. Essential for casters, who cannot cast at something they are not facing.
DA
Find Players in the Realm
General
```
/who cleric 45 50
```
Lists players online, filterable by class and level range. The standard way to find a healer for a frontier group.
DA
Group Call-Out
General
```
/macro Inc /g Incoming enemy group!
```
Posts a fixed message to your group. Keep one per common call — incoming, mez, speed — because typing them out in a fight is not realistic.
