Global Chat
The site-wide live chat room: who can use it, mentions, emotes (MiroPets emojis) like :) and :egg:, muting, reporting, and how the automatic moderation works.
Global Chat is the live, site-wide chat room. It runs in a panel you can pop open from any page, and it has its own full page with extras like mentions and community highlights.
Where to find it
- Direct link: /chat/
- Menu path: Talk - Global Chat
- The floating chat toggle appears on most pages. It hides itself automatically while you are playing Tag or Snake Royale, and while the pet sidebar, search, or notifications panel is open.
- You can turn the toggle off permanently in your account settings.
Who can chat
- Chat is not available to players under 13. Reading and posting are both off for those accounts.
- Anyone else can post, subject to the limits below.
Limits
- One message every 10 seconds.
- Messages are capped at 500 characters.
- Chat history is kept for 30 days.
Mentions
Type @username to mention someone — the suggestion list shows the most recently active players first, and includes Atlas the wiki guide. Mentioned players get a notification, and the chat page has a Mentions tab listing every message from the last 30 days where someone typed your name, with unread ones marked. If you open the chat page with unread mentions waiting, the chat scrolls straight to the oldest one so you can read it in context — and a Back to newest button appears at the bottom of the chat whenever you are scrolled up, so one click returns you to the live conversation.
Links to twitch.tv and other MiroPets pages turn into clickable links automatically. So do our own community links: the MiroPets Discord — type miropets.com/discord and it becomes a Discord button — and the MiroPets Facebook page and group. Every other outside link stays as plain text you cannot click, including invites to other Discord servers. Our Discord invite is the only one the game will ever turn into a button: if someone posts a different one, that is not us, and you should report it.
Emotes
Type a classic emoticon - or one of the chat words below - and it turns into a MiroPets emote right in the message. Emotes are MiroPets' own take on emojis: instead of a standard emoji font, every one is a hand-drawn MiroPets image. Capitalisation does not matter for the words (lol, LOL and Lol all work).

VIP emotes
VIP members get 5 extra emotes nobody else can use. Type the code and the emote appears - for everyone else the code stays as plain text, so there is no faking it.
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| :vip: |  VIP badge |
| :crown: |  Crown |
| :gem: |  Gem |
| :fancy: |  Fancy |
| :star: |  Gold star |
The emote picker
The smiley button beside the Global Chat box - and under the message box in Mail, the Message Board, Den boards and Ask Atlas - opens a picker with every emote. Click one and its code drops into your message at the cursor. The VIP row is shown to everyone; if you are not a VIP those emotes are greyed out and clicking one takes you to the VIP page.
A code only converts when it stands on its own with a space around it, so timestamps like 8:00, links, and words like "they" or "lollipop" are left alone. Experience points are safe too: "xp" and "XP" stay as text; only the face "xP" converts.
Emotes work everywhere you talk to other players: Global Chat, Mail, the Message Board, Den boards, descriptions and notices, profile guestbooks and bios, pet bios, Newspaper comments, Road Map ideas and comments, Haggle Hut messages and listings, MiroHome guestbooks and hangout chat, shop descriptions, gift notes and your Journal.
Ask Atlas
Atlas, the reindeer who tends the Wiki, keeps an eye on the room. Ask a question about how the game works - hatching, coins, games, dens, anything with a guide - and if the Wiki covers it, he pops in with a short answer and a link to the full article. He can also point you to where an item is available right now - ask something like "where do I get a Pearl Necklace?" and he'll check the MiroShops, player shops and auctions for you.
- He only answers questions the Wiki can actually answer; everything else he leaves alone.
- He reads the last few lines of the conversation, so a short follow-up like "how do I join?" still makes sense to him - but he only ever answers the person who asked.
- He takes a minute or two to wander over, and after answering you he gives other players a turn before answering you again.
- Starting your message with @atlas makes sure he reads it as a question for him - and a question asked that way always gets a reply, even if it's just Atlas admitting his guides don't cover it and pointing you at a Wiki search for it.
- If you'd rather he stayed out of a conversation, say so ("Atlas, don't answer this") and he will.
- Atlas talks like a player: expect a wave when he greets you or a grin at the end of an answer. He sticks to the regular emotes - the VIP set stays VIP.
Muting and reporting
- Mute any player to hide their messages from your view only. They are not told, and it does not affect anyone else.
- Report a message to send it to the moderation queue. You cannot report your own messages or an admin's.
- Blocking someone from your profile also hides their chat messages from you.
Automatic moderation
Every message is screened before it appears. Content that breaks the community guidelines escalates over a rolling 7-day window:
- First strike - a warning.
- Second strike - a 1-hour chat timeout.
- Third strike - a 24-hour chat timeout.
- Fourth strike - a permanent chat ban.
Timed-out players can still read chat, they just cannot post. Moderators can also delete messages, pin announcements, and issue timeouts or bans directly.
Captain Cove's crew news
Captain Cove, the pirate capybara from the Treasure Trove, drops into chat to recognise VIP members: a free trial starting, a new member joining, a trial turning into a full membership, a gifted month (he thanks the giver, unless the gift was anonymous), and loyalty marks at 3, 6 and 12 paid months and every full year after that. He @mentions the player so the line lands in their Mentions inbox, never mentions money, and skips anyone who has unticked Show VIP Badge in Account Settings. While a Community VIP Goal week is running he also reads out the running count. See VIP Membership.
Community Highlights
The chat page shows the five messages your community reacted to most over the last 7 days, plus a list of everyone active in the last 15 minutes with friends marked.
Good habits
- Mute rather than argue - it is instant and nobody has to know.
- Use @mentions when you want a specific person to see something; the room moves fast.
- Trade offers get more traction on the Message Board or in Auctions, where they do not scroll away.
