Spatial chat

Spatial chat is handled just like in conventional MMOs. All chat within a certain radius of the character appears in the chat window and, if the speaking character is visible on screen, it appears in a chat bubble above their head.

A 'whisper' mode will also be available, between two characters who are very close to one another. The player simply targets a nearby character, and then types "/whisper" or "/w" at the beginning of what they want to say. The text appears in a 'whisper bubble' that can be seen by no one but the intended recipient, and in the chat window prefixed by the words "[character name] whispers, '[example phrase]'."

A 'shout' mode ("/shout", "/s") may also be available. But then again, maybe not.
