I’m new to Wolfery and a player informed me that everyone in a room can see whispers, is this true? Or are they effectively like Private Messages? Just looking for some clarification.
Only the people you send a whisper to can read your whisper. They are effectively messages you can only give to people that are in the same room as you. Whoever told that everyone can see them is wrong! Only the recipients can!
As @TheSinderChronicle stated, the whisper
command is private.
In addition, the message
/page
command is also available for private communication between characters anywhere (even in the same room).
The say
and pose
commands display publicly to all characters in the same room.
There are also OOC (Out of Character) variants:
ooc
is likesay
orpose
for public OOC communication within the room.- Adding a
>
after the=
for thewhisper
andmessage
/page
commands turns them into private OOC communication.
Some characters prefer to treat private communication with others who are not in the same room the same as any standard smartphone, but that’s left up to personal preference.
