That first frame of you about to eat that cupcake is priceless.

no, they can’t. Only default emotes will be understood, any “/e message” will parse as “[yourname] is making some strange gestures” or something alike

You can do any of the standard emotes, though. “stop”, “follow”, “come”, “charge”, “wait”, etc.

And the general fun of “dance”. … or “spit”.

Testing it out. Doesn't seem to be the problem?

I’ve been trying Azerothian Sign Language (ASL), but entirely too often, the mean vicious horde punt me across Wintergrasp before I’ve gotten through a formal “hail and well met”.

Discrimination, I tell you!

A well behaved piece of blog software would translate any “html special characters” in what you type into “html-safe” varieties, when it doesn’t recognize it as one of the tags it allows. You’ve manage to step into the twilight zone, though. Or this blog software isn’t well behaved.

While it’s something that our host here may not herself be able to change, it is still a flaw in the blog software. Might report it as a problem.

You have to substitute letters depending on your root language. There are sites with suggested “translations”… for instance, if I’m surrounded by Alliance players but all I want to do is pick that pretty herb over there, I might type “ok ivx”, which an Ally would hear as “no kil”. when Alliance says “d a p yu vb” it comes out something like UU l o s e” Not everything has a correlation, though… lots of letters come out as the same latter, and lots of words translate the same.

Just putting spaces in what you want to say doesn’t do it either, apparently single letters don’t all translate directly (some do).

I’ve often wondered about alternate ways to communicate with the opposite faction.

Uh, Zargoth, sadly you can’t do that, instead of seeing the emote the other faction just sees “X makes some strange gestures “
