What have you learned about the game recently?

I seriously cannot get this to work. What am I missing?

It just ignores the key altogether.

That is super weird. Just to clarify, as you're typing something like 'Hey guys, I'm here', the ' in I'm simply doesn't show up when you hit the key? Are you using the apostrophe on the right side of the keyboard or are you using the ` on the left side? When you haven't selected the chat bar, can you hit ' and have it enter into the text entry area? Have you tried switching the keyboard with another one and seeing if it behaves the same way? Is the apostrophe key bound to anything else besides /say?

Thank you so much for trying to help me with this, it's been bothering me.

as you're typing something like 'Hey guys, I'm here', the ' in I'm simply doesn't show up when you hit the key? - Right, it doesn't show up or move the cursor or anything. No matter how many time I press it nothing happens.

Are you using the apostrophe on the right side of the keyboard or are you using the ` on the left side? - I'm using the key to the left of the Enter key and to the right of the semicolon|Shift Colon key on my keyboard. This keyboard has it as ' and Shift is ".

When you haven't selected the chat bar, can you hit ' and have it enter into the text entry area? - No, it did nothing when I tried that.

Have you tried switching the keyboard with another one and seeing if it behaves the same way? - Not yet, but I will now based on your questions.

Is the apostrophe key bound to anything else besides /say? - I don't remember changing a binding to use this key, but perhaps I messed that up somehow, this is probably it.

Thanks so much for your help!

You're welcome. Yeah, check to see if it's just a hardware issue with the keyboard itself. For the binding bit, if you can find one entry that uses ', it'll show you if it's bound to a second command by changing the color of ' to red. If that's the case, you'll have to hunt down the second command.

Hopefully it's one of those two issues so you can once again type with proper punctuation while playing. If not...might be an OS or keyboard driver issue, or background programs running that are stealing your apostrophe for their own evil purposes. That would take some digging on your part.

Ugh, I tried resetting bindings to default and that didn't even work.

This key works fine in all other applications, just not EQ.

I had this issue in EQ Live a few years back, the solution was to disable an infrared remote I had installed. It's probably something similar here.
