  • /whois [user] Looks up some basic information on a user, including their account number and their current location. This is an excellent way to find your friends online. typing /whois #[number] (E.G. /whois #1). Aliases for this command : /where /whereis Ex: /whois [User]
  • /whoami displays your information on Battle.net.
  • /w [user] Sends a private message to a user online regardless of the channel they are in. This is an excellent way to let a friend know you are online. Aliases for this command: /msg /whisper Ex: /w LUser Want to play some D2?
  • /ignore [user] Ignores any future messages from that user effectively muting that user to you. Aliases for this command: /squelch Ex: /ignore [User]
  • /unignore [user] Allows a previously squelched user to talk to you normally. Aliases for this command: /unsquelch Ex: /unignore [User]
  • /away [text] Displays a message that you are away from your keyboard whenever someone whispers to you or does a /whois command on you. To disable this command, use the command again. Ex: /away eating dinner
  • /dnd [text] "Do Not Disturb" - prevents ALL whispers from displaying to your screen. Its use is similar to the /away command. To turn the DND mode off, just type /dnd without a reason. This will prevent people from sending whispers to you while in a game as well. You are still able to see all normal public channel messages. Ex: /dnd sorry playing a game with LUser
  • /who [channel] Displays a list of all users in the given channel. Ex: /who Open Tech Support
  • /stats [user] ID Displays the player's Win/Loss/Disconnect record for both normal and Ladder games. Ex: /stats LUser STAR
