I'm not sure if anyone has worked this out yet or even tried, and I haven't found anything like it on the boards yet.

/Bind backspace "e cellphone$$afk Can't you see I'm on the phone$$autoreply"

what it does is when you hit your backspace you do the cellphone emote while the bubble over you head says can't you see I'm on the phone.

But won't anyone that sends you a tell when you do this get the "can't you see I'm on the phone' message?

I like the cell phone idea, though. Too bad it looks like some crappy nokia from 1999. Of course, we could be lucky they didn't put the one in that the merc MM uses to call his troops...

lol, I also did "Can you hear me now!....Good!" on another toon

Technically that one isn't a cellphone. It's a military surplus Handy Talkie... a military radio from past eras.

/bind backspace "em laptop$$afk Oh, I have mail!$$autoreply"

Ah! Good to know.

On a related note, is there a way to bind a quick reply to a key, such that when someone sends you a tell, you can hit a key and send a message such as "I'm fghting, gimme a sec..."?

Thanks!
