Guide to World of Warcraft Emotes

Emotes are ways that players in RPG can get their characters to behave more human that just typing words on a screen. For World of Warcraft players there are many different emotes that they have at their disposal to use. Players can also make their own emotes by simply putting /e and then typing whatever they would like to say. For example, if I wanted to say “whistles dixie” I’d type:

/e whistles dixie

This would put on the screen whistles dixie

Emotes are used by either targeting a player or NPC (non player character), or without. If you do the emote without a target there is a slightly different action to the command you type than if you had a target. Below are the World of Warcraft emotes, and how they will be without a target, and with a target. I will first list the Warcraft emote, then it will follow what will be shown and said Without a Target, then what will be shown and said With a Target.
