One Set for Both Editions
Gate to Heavens and Gate to Heavens Classic run the same command set. The table that decides what exists, what it does and who may run it is identical in the two servers, so every line on this page is true of both. The one difference is the stat names /stat takes, covered in its row.
How You Type Them
Commands go in the ordinary chat box, starting with a slash.
/heal
/goto Ron
/item 6 5The name is not case sensitive, so /Heal and /HEAL both work. The slash has to be the first character on the line: put a space in front of it and the server reads the whole thing as chat and says it out loud to everyone standing near you.
The reply comes back as a system line in your own chat window, and only you see it. A command the server recognised is never repeated as chat either, so nobody else sees that you ran one. Longer answers arrive as several lines. /help prints a header and then one line per command you are allowed to run:
--- Available Commands ---
/help - Show the commands you can use
/info - Show your character's info (staff: any player's)
/who - List online playersA verb the server does not know replies Unknown command: /whatever. A command you are not allowed to run replies You don't have permission to use this command, and nothing happens.
Who Can Run What
Fifty seven commands work, counting aliases. Each one needs a staff level, and a level can run everything at or below it.
| Level | Name | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Player | /help, /who and /info. Nothing else. |
| 1 | Moderator | Getting to an incident and watching it: /goto, /summon, /warp, /tp, /gomon, /home, /hide, /busy. |
| 2 | Game Master | Everything that makes or changes things: items, coins, levels, skills, monsters, quests and the test commands. |
| 3 | Administrator | Moderation and server control: /kick, /mute, /unmute, /ban, /unban, /notice, /setgm, /shutdown, /saveall, /itemhistory. |
| 4 | Super Administrator | Nothing more today. |
An ordinary player gets the three information commands and no others, and there is no setting that opens more of them. Everyone else needs a staff grant on that game. A grant is per account and per game, so holding one on Gate to Heavens says nothing about Classic, or about any other game. GM Accounts covers how one is made and who can make it.
/help only ever lists what your own level can run, so what you see in it is what you have.
Open to Everyone
| Command | Arguments | What it does |
|---|---|---|
/help | none | Lists every command your level can run, one line each. |
/who | none | Lists everyone online with their level. Staff also see each player's world and anyone holding a staff level, and only staff see a hidden staff member. |
/info | [player] | Prints a character's level, class, world, position, guild, health, coins and base stats. A player can only look at their own; staff can name anyone. |
Getting Around

/home | none | Revives you and sends you to your binding point. |
/goto | <player> | Teleports you to an online player, across worlds if needed. |
/gomon | <monster> | Teleports you to a live monster by table index, preferring one in your own world. |
/summon | <player> | Pulls an online player to where you are standing. |
/warp | <world> [x] [y] [z] | Teleports you to a world by index. Leave the coordinates out to keep the position you are at. |

Your Character
Game Master and up.

|---|---|---|
/respawn | none | Revives you where you died. Refuses if you are alive. |

/potions | none | Refills your RA and SA charges to maximum. |
/god | none | Toggles invincibility. |
/level | <level> [player] | Sets a level. Going up adds a point to each base stat and one stat point per level; going down resets the four stats to the class baseline for the new level. |
/exp | <amount> [player] | Grants experience through the normal gain path, so real level-ups and stat syncs happen. A negative amount removes experience without de-levelling. |
/stat | <stat> <amount> [player] | Adds points to one base stat without spending stat points. Gate to Heavens takes str, dex, vit or int; Classic takes str, agi, vit or spi. Gate to Heavens also accepts the Classic names. |

/buff | <type> <skill> <ms> [stat value] | Applies a timed effect to yourself through the real affect path, icon and countdown included. Type runs 0 to 5: attack, defense, assist, special, toggle, curse. A duration of 0 means permanent. Eight can be active at once. |
/clearbuffs | none | Removes every active effect from you, the good ones and the bad ones. |
/cleardebuffs | none | Removes only curses and debuffs. This is the only way to clear one, since debuffs cannot be right-clicked off. |
/save | [player] | Writes a character to the database immediately. Defaults to you. |

Worth Knowing
/moneysets,/goldadds. They write the same balance from opposite directions, and/moneyonly ever works on you./homedoes not check whether you are dead. A living character can use it as an unlimited recall from anywhere./healon a dead player brings them back on the spot. It sets them alive without running the normal revival.- A mute runs on the clock, not on the session. It ends at a fixed time and is saved with the character, so logging out does not wait it out.
/setgmlasts for that player's session. It is not saved, so an operator has no in-game way to create lasting staff. That is what GM Accounts is for./speedaccepts 1 to 10. The one-line description in/helpsays 1-5, which is wrong./helplists three commands that do not exist. A Game Master sees/reload,/debugand/test, which have nothing behind them; running one repliesUnknown command./itemand/skilltake raw index numbers and do not check them against the game tables. A number that is not in them gives you a phantom item or an odd skill entry rather than an error./statdoes not reject a negative amount. It wraps into an enormous positive one instead, so do not type one. Repeatedly adding large amounts can wrap the total as well.- Levelling down leaves your experience alone. The character keeps the experience it earned for the level it no longer has, so the next kill can put the level straight back.
/killallgives no experience and no loot.- Everything you run is logged. The server writes the command, its arguments and the character that ran it, and denied attempts are logged too. On your own server that log is the only record of who did what with these.
