EverQuest II has an in game Macro system which allows you combine several commands.
possible with macro[]
- Use Commands from Slash Commands
- Equip Gear
- cast spells and define 1 spell that shall be cast first
- Display the reuse of 1 spell, by dragging the spell into the icon slot
- say something in a channel (say, gsay, guild, tellchannel)
- When you macro something to a channel, it's better to use the "tellchannel mychannel" than just the channelnumber.
- You may or may have not seen misstells of raid parses in normal channels ;), most likly they used a channelnumber and not the channelname
Not possible with macro[]

- it is NOT possible to add a pause into a macro
- it is NOT possible to make a macro repeat itself automatically
