EverQuest is the first MMORPG, regardless of what any UO or MUD player tells you. It features a class-based system, massive cooperative raids, several decades worth of content, and an 80's fantasy cover aesthetic. While released in 1999, it remains competitive in the genre by offering slower-paced combat, 16 classes each with truly unique gameplay, and a constant stream of updates and special events. It's currently maintained and developed by Darkpaw Games.

Abbreviated commands

EverQuest often accepts abbreviated commands. For example, /emote can be shortened to /emot, /emo, /em, etc. Let's not document abbreviations unless they're noteworthy.

/useitem <slot> [subindex] | <item name>	Activates the use effect on items, either by exact item name or slot number. MacroQuest extends <item name> to allow partial matching.
/usercolor <channel#> <R G B>	Change the text color of chat channels. For a GUI alternative, use Options window -> Chat.
/usetarget	Simulates a 'right-click' on a targeted NPC, or left click on targeted player. Useful when merchants are covered in other players, making them hard to click.
/usurp	A guild officer can become leader if more senior leadership has been offline for at least a year.
/vgroup <1-12>	Play a voice macro for your group, with accompanying text.
/viewport <x> <y> <w> <h> [<scale>] | [reset]	Change the size of the area within your game window.
/vplay <1-12>	Play a voice macro for your computer only.
/vraid <1-12>	Play a voice macro for your raid, with accompanying text.
/vtell <player> <1-12>	Play a voice macro for a player, with accompanying text.
/waypoint <y>, <x>, <z>	Display a yellow path to a location <y>, <x>, and optionally <z> coordinates. Must use commas. The location will also be marked on your map.
/who [<name | class | race>] [all] [afk] [lfg] [corpse] [count] [guild] [<"guild name">] [ <level> [<level>] ] | [<Spawn Search>] [concolor] [sort <option>]	Search for characters in current or all zones. MacroQuest intercepts the current-zone version of this command and instead gives options to Spawn search and sort.
/whotarget	Displays a /who lookup for the targeted player. MacroQuest extends this to include NPCs.
/www <website>	Opens the default browser to the given web page. Unlike Command:/url, this can only open web pages.
/xtarget show | set <slot> <role/name> | target <slot> | auto [on|off] | add | remove | save <name> | load <name> | id <#> [<slot>] | assist <#>	Add spawns to the Extended Target window by name, role, automatically, or from a saved list. MQ2XAssist adds two extra options: add spawns by ID, or when another player fights them. Common abbreviation: /xtar
/yell	Unlock all Encounter Locked NPCs that you're able to. One second timer. Also displays, 'You yell for help.' People around you see "XXX yells for help from <direction>".

These commands need additional data:/reveal

Variables

EverQuest includes a few variables which are mostly useful for pronouns.

Variable	Description
%m	Supposed to output the name of your target's pet, though doesn't work. Use MacroQuest's ${Target.Pet} instead.
%o	Outputs the objective gender-specific pronoun of your target (Him, Her, It).
%p	Outputs the possessive gender-specific pronoun of your target (His, Her, Its).
%r	Outputs the race of your target, but only works on players. For NPCs, use MacroQuest's ${Target.Race} instead.
%s	Outputs the subjective gender-specific pronoun for the target (He, She, It).
%t	Outputs the name of your current target.

Example usage:

/say Please target %t and nuke %p ass! will output: You say, 'Please target Lady Vox and nuke her ass!'
