English speaking countries seem to stick to /me mostly... Actually people using /me tend to be those that have been emoting in games the past 10 years or so. WoW made the /me command popular, though it wasn't the first MMO to do so. If you go back to the days of yore you'll find there was a time that the /me command simply didn't exist so people used the asterisk * to suggest an emote. Using /me is hip & trendy! Using * is old skool!
No.
Are you too young?
I googled it now ... because actually I wanted to be sure.
We used /me back in '96 already in our national chatrooms,
as well as /j, /s etc. etc. ... which seem to by typical irc commands ...
... which was more popular than WoW, long before WoW.
WoW just did what everyone else did and copied IRC.

:don't:
Also, I use *actions* and even though I have a relative who lived in Germany that was back in the 17th century so I don't think that's why I use them.
Also, when I was young EVE didn't have /me.
Also-¦, back in late 80s early 90s we sometime used irony parentheses in the Swedish part of Fidonet. (. Just kidding .)
But still :don't:

She just wants to be right,
not actually uncover what happened.
I tried digging through old BBS resources,
but can't find a single line where someone used an emote.
My fault, I don't know what to look for.

I used to play another game before EVE.
It's called Pardus.
When you were chatting in the ingame chat, you could click icons like you do here in forum post or, you could directly type a key for that icon.
For example :yarr: =>
This is why sometimes i do that.
Now, i'm pretty sure this thing comes from somewhere else but Pardus is the 1st place i saw it used. |

The thing about /me is that it is, at least for IRC, rendered by specialized scripts in your client. So, for example, I'll type in "/me spoofs an emote", and by the time you see it, you'll see "*Ranamar spoofs an emote". In the logs, I expect you will also see the output, not the originating command.
Some people I know have extremely elaborate scripts for their IRC clients to set things up. (Most of these people seem to use irssi, in my experience.) Some of them do quite elaborate things like inserting colors as well as being general rewrite rules. I haven't played with them a lot, so I'm not sure whether the rendering is done before sending the command or after receiving it, though.
A particularly famous special script from the time when mIRC was an IRC client people were actually suggested to use was "/slap {name}", which actually basically expands to "/me slaps {name} around a bit with a large trout".
So, as far as I'm concerned, it's an IRCism, but I expect that more than a few MUDs were built on an IRC backend. |

/me works in EVE chat as well
You can also do things like "/open wallet", "/cmd stop ship", "/cmd overload high power slot1"... etc.
"/open config menu" is especially useful because someones people have software conflicts that render their Esc key nonfunctional in EVE, so they can't open the main settings menu.

I was heavy into IRC at one time. You may have seen me speak of my music collection in other threads, at that time ppl (and myself) would host bots where you could DCC transfer files. There were also scripts to "nuke" ppl using the old port 139 windows flaw/exploit (fixed many yrs ago.)
I sort of miss those days, tbh. As Tom Petty said,"well the good old days..... may not return....)
Alas, here we are alive and enjoying each others company while we idle in space in Niarja D0H!!! 
edit : because typing

/me was used in IRC which was really popular in 96-00 it lost flavor after with myspace, and fb

yes.
there was also ping floods where if you sent a ping command enough times you coudl flood someone out. and exploits in scripts that would auto op you. I lost a channel that way cause an op had a broken scripot and someone was messign with it, well a guy joined channel, did the same thing, got ops then auto deoped everyone

IRC's still really handy. It's a mature protocol, and fairly low requirements. And handles multiple servers easily (though netsplits are annoying)
iirc, it's what underlies twitch chat, for example. Not so good for history, but you can always run what's known as a bouncer under it. (you connect to the bouncer, it connects to the IRC server. It stays connected even when you disconnect, so you can get history)

For instance this dude was in local and he was like :smith: HAHAHAHA I bet he meant the guy from Men in Black haha, that movie is hilarious. Will Smith is a great actor. Or maybe he meant Smith from the Matrix LOL, I love that guy. Matrix is a classic movie
So :question:
How do I use colons like EVE veterans and everyone else in :EVE: , or just generally be really cool and hip in EVE
LOL XP : P :
