Introduction

Emotes (Emotion codes) are commands which make your character perform movements such as waving, coughing, dancing or pointing. They're an excellent way to convey a feeling to those around you and much quicker with more impact than typing your message in the chat window. WoW supports well over 150 different built-in emotes that can help players immerse even better into the game world especially on the Role Playing (RP) servers.

To perform an Emote, type in the chat window:

/agree
/plead
/shiver

This will perform the Emote and anyone around you will see you. You can also direct your Emote to an individual by selecting the person and then typing /whistle and you will whistle to that particular person. It will also automatically generate "You whistle to <person's name>." Another way to personalise your ingame messages is to type /e first and it will insert your name and then type any message you want. The text will appear in the orange emote text colour so it stands out from the other typed messages.

Making your own emotes will not work for cross-faction communication, someone on the opposing faction would only see "Xinhuan performs some strange actions."

Standard emotes are the only way a player can communicate with players of the opposing faction; they can see the emotes that you perform. On the PvP servers, waving to a player of the opposite faction is a good way to indicate that you do not wish to engage in PvP with them. Or performing the /chicken emote leaves them in doubt they're a cowardy custard.

Voice Emotes

Voice emotes are emotes that have actual speech files that play out when you execute them. For example, typing "/inc" will cause your character to say "Incoming" and everyone that is near you will be able to hear that "Incoming" being played on the speakers. The following is a list of available voice emotes.

/assist, as
/charge
/cheer
/fire
/flee, run
/flirt
/follow, followme, fol
/goodbye, bye
/grats, congrats
/heal
/hello
/help
/incoming, inc
/no
/outofmana, oom
/raspberry, rasp
/silly
/thanks, thank, thank you
/train
/wait
/yes
/welcome

Every combination of race and gender has their own voiceset, so a Gnome's "/inc" might actually say "Enemies approaching!" while a Troll's one might say "Bad things coming!" Each voice emote usually has more than one possible speech as well, so repeating the same voice emote command will result in different words being heard.

The flirt and silly voice emotes are the funniest ones of all. Try them when you are free.
