You can create custom emotes by typing “/me [text]”, “/emote [text]” or “/e [text]”, however there is no associated animation.
 

If you target another player or NPC and include an “@” after an emote, then the emote will include them in the chat log.

For example,

/cheer @ while targeting Rudolf displays [Character] cheers for Rudolf.
 

Appending a “*” to an emote (e.g. “/dance *”) will put it into a queue which is processed every 5 seconds. This allows for multiple players to do emotes at the exact same time.
