Emote

Emotes are commands that are entered on the chat line. All commands are prefaced by '/'. Emotes can also be activated by clicking on the chat bubble and making a selection from the emote menu.
You can perform a custom emote by using the /me or /em command on the chat line. This has no animation, but allows you to supply your own emote text. You can also override the default message for any of the other emotes by specifying additional text after the emote on the command line.
Emotes can be further customised by creating an alias.
- Example: -- Creating an alias called ";hi":
- /alias ;hi /shakefist shakes his fist at ;target and yells, 'Get off my lawn!'
- By selecting another player and typing ";hi" -- your character performs the /shakefist emote animation and outputs the text:
- <your name> shakes his fist at <your selection> and yells, 'Get off my lawn!'
See: Aliases and Quickslot Shortcuts for more information.
The first line of text in the list below is the output of the emote when nothing is selected. The second line of text is the output when anything (such as another character or an object) is selected.
Unless otherwise noted, the emotes have a corresponding character animation.
- Update 17.2 added Emotes to the Collections panel. This panel displays ALL of the emotes in the game.
- The Collections panel is accessed via the arrow menu on the left of your UI Tool Bar or Control + C (Note: this is Control-Shift-C) Emotes are selected by clicking on the "quotation marks bubble" on the left.
- The green bar across the top of the panel shows how many total emotes there are, and how many your character has obtained.
- Emotes are listed in alphabetical order left-to right, top to bottom.
- Emotes which the particular character has obtained, either by completing some in-game deed or quest, or purchased from the in-game store are highlighted.
- You can select a number of different displays by selecting the tic-boxes on the left.
- When you click on an emote, the small character portrait in the upper left will show you the animation which is executed by that emote.
- Beneath the portrait will be an explanation of the source of the emote - be it a hidden deed or purchaseable from the in-game store.
Targeting Emotes
- Many quests and deeds in LOTRO require that you "Target" a player or NPC to perform an emote.
- Targeting for an emote is done in the same manner as for any other action...
- select the target by clicking on it
- use one of the Function keys to select the target. See commands#Selection for details.

---|---|
