Quick Chat



Quick Chat is a method of talking using preset messages. It was released on May 21, 2008.

Quick Chat works by selecting from a database of messages. It also works using items, similar to the Grand Exchange item database - the user simply types an item name and it finds it from its list of items. This also works with locations and monsters, as it has a database of locations and monsters respectively.

To use Quick Chat, click the Speech icon next to your name in the chat window, then select the chat which you want to speak. Quick Chat is fast because it can be activated using keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard Shortcuts
In addition to the Quick Chat update, the update also changed some of the previous keyboard shortcuts and introduced a new shortcut allowing the user to repeat the last Quick Chat message, along with other shortcuts.


 * F9 - opens the quick responses feature. From here, if someone said "How can I train up my Ranged level?", you could quickly reply with a monster name - e.g. "Try ranging: Chickens".
 * F10 - opens up the context-sensitive Quick Chat menu.
 * F11 - repeats the last phrase you said using Quick.

Trivia

 * On the first day of its release it was functional but once the user had chosen from the options it would just disconnect them from the server. This was true for only about 10 minutes, as a new system update was completed to make it work. It was reported that World 124 did not receive the update.
