Sure, you guys might know /tell or /g, but do you know the whole list?
Here's some lesser-known commands:
/ignore - ignores users
/g or /guild - guild chat
/invite - invites a player to your party, provided that they are online
/bug - reports a bug to the GM's.
/joinknight - joins the specified player, provided that they have enough room
/r - replies to a /tell or /whisper
/o - guild officers chat
/afk - automatically sends a message to players trying to /tell you that you are currently AFK
/complain or /report - the best way to file a complaint (the best part is that they don't even have to be next to you)
