The Dereth Networktells, friends and chat between Asheron's Call worlds

The Dereth Network links community worlds, so you can send a tell to a friend on another world, see when they come online, and talk in a room every world shares. It works with any client, retail included: your world does the work, and your client only sees tells, friends and chat it already knows.

How does it work?

A world operator can turn the Dereth Network on for a world. Characters start off the network, and each one joins on its own:

@dn on: Put this character on the Dereth Network as Character Name@world.
@dn off: Take this character off the Dereth Network at once.
@dn: Show your Dereth Network status.
@dng <text>: Say a line in cross-world Global chat, shared by every world on the Dereth Network. World operators decide which of their world's chat rooms, if any, carries cross-world Global chat. We think Roleplay is a good default.
@dn help: Show every command, one to a line.
Appear Offline: The game's own character option hides you from everyone, here and elsewhere.

@derethnetwork is the same command spelled out, /dn works as well as @dn, and @dn global <text> as well as @dng.

Tells

Players on the Dereth Network are known by Character Name@world. Send a tell as you would normally, and reply with @r or by clicking their name in the chat box.

@tell An Adventurer@leafcull, long time! still playing?
You tell An Adventurer@leafcull, "long time! still playing?"
An Adventurer@leafcull tells you, "yes! come say hi Saturday"

Tells traveling through the Dereth Network are always followed by their @world designation, even if it is the same world you're on.

Friends

Friend someone on the Dereth Network and they'll show up right in the retail client's friend list.

@dn friends add An Adventurer@leafcull: Add a Dereth Network friend. You can use the in-game friends panel, too.
@dn friends: Show your Dereth Network friends.
@dn friends remove An Adventurer@leafcull: Remove a Dereth Network friend.

Squelch

@squelch An Adventurer@leafcull: Mute someone on the Dereth Network.
@unsquelch An Adventurer@leafcull: Unmute someone on the Dereth Network.
@dn squelch leafcull: Mute an entire world.
@dn unsquelch leafcull: Unmute an entire world.

You can also tell your world's operator about a nuisance character or world; operators can block entire worlds or characters from interacting with their world over the Dereth Network. A world that abuses the network can be reported.

Channels

Invite-only cross-world groups, addressable via @tell.

In any client:

@tell oldguard@channel, anyone around tonight?
oldguard@channel tells you, "An Adventurer@leafcull: I am!"

In the Dereth client, the same lines read as channel chat:

[oldguard] You say, "anyone around tonight?"
[oldguard] An Adventurer@leafcull says, "I am!"

@dn channel create oldguard: Start a channel.
@dn channel invite oldguard Ann@frost: Invite someone. Any member can.
@dn channel join oldguard: Join a channel you've been invited to.
@dn channel members oldguard: Who's in it.
@dn channel list: Your channels.
@dn channel leave oldguard: Leave. When the last member leaves, the channel is gone. Squelching a channel leaves it too.

Discord

Sign in with Discord and link your characters on any world to your Discord account. Your friends then follow you from character to character, a tell to a linked character reaches your Discord while you aren't playing it, and you can speak in your world's Discord mirror as your character with /dn say.

@dn link: Get a link that links this character to your Discord account. Open it within ten minutes, and keep it to yourself.
@dn unlink: Unlink this character from your Discord account. Your Dereth Network friends stay.
