Emote

To emote is to display emotions openly, especially while acting. In the digital world, an emote is an entry in a text-based chat client that indicates an action taking place. Emoticons are not text art and instead describe the action using words or images.

Ragnarok Online
Due to the sprite-based nature of player characters, players in Ragnarok Online can only emote via in-game emoticons. The default hotkeys to access the emote menu is Alt + L. Players can also access the menu with the /emotion command.

Ragnarok Online II
Because player characters are in full 3D, players in Ragnarok Online II can actually emote using in-game animations. The default hotkey to access the emote window is K. Players can then drag emotes into their hotkey bars for quicker access to certain emotes.

Available Emoticons
To retain the feel of RO, RO2's developers implemented modernized versions of the emote bubbles from the prequel.
