== Notes ==
*Note: There are multiple chat channels in Paradox. Some require special permissions, while some are open to all. If you are in multiple channels, you can prefix some commands with the channel name (eg. "/CHANNELNAME hello", or "/CHANNELNAME /emote says hello") to send your command to that channel.
*Note: Many commands have shorter, or alternate, forms that may be used instead. These are identified below using the convention ''/channel | /c'' and shows that ''/c'' is a shorter way to type ''/channel''.
