I suggest to add /m <msg> and /r <msg>, like on many other servers.
When the other player can't join your guild because he's admin in his own, you have to write "/reply" every time. "/r" would be shorter, like "/g" for guild chat.

/msg is already a shortened version of /message, and /reply takes roughly .2 seconds to type.

Please explain why you feel a need for a shorter version of this shortened command. I would really like to know your reasoning behind this.

Here is some reasoning...

Its not a matter of versions, its a matter of shortcuts. A shortcut typically consists of pressing a key or a couple of keys, not actually writing the full command.

So it follows that "commands" like spawn, trade, home, guild, message, answer (reply), list and realm could each easily and convienently be represented by a single letter (ie. /s, /t, /h, /g, /m, /a, /l and /r).

What reasons are there not to implement single letter shortcuts for all the main commands?

The exception imo would be /help

I have to vote yes, holding a conversation of /reply's gets super tedious the other fix i guess would be to get everyone to join my guild :P when you're typing 20 /reply's a minute the eply chews a lot of time

Yes, but sometimes the other player doesn't want to join your guild, or you are not a guild leader.

I play on other servers where it is shortened to /r for reply and it makes things soooo much easier. Yes I have become really proficient in typing /reply but it is still a hassle to do it multiple times. I don't even care about shortening /home or /spawn just because it's fine having those full words but the /r is what I am going for.
