Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Usage of /help <command>

I'm used to commands in most of games, and it becomes annoying that on EE, I have to specify the entire command (with the slash) I want info about, instead of the command word.

This is how the help command should must work:

  • /help command

  • /help kick

  • /help geffect

This is how the command is hard-coded on the server however (the annoying / is shown bold with a red color):

  • /help /command

  • /help /kick

  • /help /geffect

My suggestion is to remove that annoying, useless, extra slash, so we can directly specify the command by just the word. It's clear that when we use /help we refer to commands.
My suggestion is to allow both usages of the /help command, so both those who are used to adding the /, and people like me, who find it annoying, can use /help happily.

Re: Usage of /help <command>

these suggestions are starting to reach a level of laziness.

It's not about laziness. It's about how we're used to using commands.

Re: Usage of /help <command>

How often are you forgetting how to use the commands in EE that you need to use /help? They aren't that difficult to use.

Ive done it a lot of times, especially after I stopped playing for a while
mainly the teleport command, because I didnt know what order things were in, and what could be left out

Its mainly for new players, as if you dont know how to use the commands, and dont think to use a second /, then you can never learn without asking people

On many chat programs you use /help followed by the command name, like /help kick. Using /help /kick will tell you "Unknown command". EE is the whole opposite and it's annoying because it is one of the very few chat games that actually do that. Simply why?
