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.
