Combat Log

the Chat Window

"Chat channels" are the primary communications mechanism a new player will encounter.

The chat system is found as a quite obvious box in the lower left corner of your screen when you first log into the game.

Chat Tabs

• By default, the "Chat Log" or "Chat Window" has three "tabs" - General, Combat and IMs -- across the top and a scroll bar. It can be resized and the sequence of the tabs re-ordered, or separated into individual windows by dragging them.

The Combat Log

The Combat Tab in the LOTRO chat system is often called the Combat Log.

By default, the filters contain entries identified as:

• Combat Enemy
• Combat Event
• Combat Player

While you can add other filters, it is not recommended as these three generate quite a bit of text during the course of any given combat.
