How to Emote in Warcraft
In the PC game "World of Warcraft," emotes are simply a way for your character to show emotion or action, without a manual explanation of what you are doing. All emotes display a small piece of text describing your action in the text box of those near you, and a number of emotes are also accompanied with sound or movement from your character. Some emotes change depending on whether you have someone targeted when you activate them. "World of Warcraft" also gives you the opportunity to create your own textual emotes.
