Emotes are a special subset of chat commands which cause the player character to perform a social action, playing an associated animation and logging a description of that action into the chat window. For commands that does not cause character animations, see special command.
Emotes get their name from the verb "to emote", which means "to show or pretend emotion."
Some emotes have unique animations for different professions. The most striking example of this is the dance emote, which initiates a different type of dancing for each profession and gender. Using any of the Dervish's Avatar skills adjust your profession/gender specific emotes as do many of the disguise in the game.
