Clan Chat
The Clan chat is a feature in which players can chat with other players within both Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3 across all worlds.

In order for players to send messages to the clan chat, they must add a forward slash (/) prefix before their message.

Friends List
The Friends list is used to add other players to the list, to which they can send private messages. If a player's private chat is set to "off", then they will always appear as offline and it will not be possible to send them a private message. If their private chat is set to "friends", then only people on their friends list will be able to send them private messages.

The ignore list button on the top-right shows the list of ignored players, which hides all their messages and prevents them from entering the player's clan chat.

Players can also click on songs that are highlighted in green to play them. Titles in red have not been unlocked, and thus cannot be played. There are a total of 493 music tracks.

Chat bar
The chat bar is the bar which the player uses to communicate with other players and see what other players are saying. You can use prefixes such as red: or wavy: to change the way the text will appear on the screen. You can also talk to NPCs on this bar, private message, and engage in a clan chat.

Command Line Codes
Some options can be typed at the command line/chat bar to change the game display.

Note the two colons in front of the command.

When typing this in-game the player will say: 'Hey, everyone, I just tried to do something very silly!'
