Commands
There are a variety of text commands that one can use ingame to perform certain tasks. These are all preceded by a "/" and are typed into the text box like dialogue. The various different type of text commands can be broken down into a few categories.
Horizon Changes 
- New command - !unstuck
- New command - !uptime
- The command bstpet is available. It was only available much later than the CoP era.
Horizon Commands
Whilst working in a similar way, Horizon commands are unique to the server (and some other private servers) and are not part of FFXI itself. Typically these are activated by begining with a "!" as opposed to a "/", for example "!uptime". The following commands are available for players to use:
| Command | Useage |
|---|---|
| !unstuck | This command can be used for players who have become stuck in-game. WARNING: This command triggers a 20 minute terror effect before the warp takes place, to prevent it being used as a free warp. |
| !uptime | This command can be used to show how long the current zone has been running since it was last reset (via a crash/maintenance). |
Emotes
An emote is a command used by the player to express emotion and add a little flavor to his/her dialogue. There are two types of emotes.
- Built-in emote commands, such as smile or salute.
- Typing in a built-in emote with the word "motion" after it will perform the emote without putting text into the chat log.
- Typing a built-in emote with the word "text" after it will display the text in the chat log without performing the motion.
- Typing /em followed by text will do a custom emote without animation.
Example: /em points at a large bird in the sky.
You would see this: <Name> points at a large bird in the sky.
Job-Specific Emotes
In order to unlock and use these emotes, you must level the job to 75. Once done, the job-specific emote can be performed using the /jobemote command.
- You do not need to be on the job in question to undertake or complete the quest for that job-specific emote.
Note: The "motion" keyword does not work with /jobemote. Typing in /jobemote with the word "motion" after it will still perform the emote, but unlike with the other "/emote motion" commands, it will still display the normal chat log text associated with that emote.
