There are animated emotes, but no /e or /em style emotes (which isn't too bad for a lot of people, it seems). The way that animated emotes come about are a little odd, because they become available as you level up and play the game for some reason, I'm not sure why.
The strange thing about them though is that in addition to /slash commands, emotes can also be triggered naturally through dialogue. It's a little awkward at first, but apparently you can change the words that trigger them in order to make them seem more natural. So for example, by default, if you type something like "I'm not going to do that," or "No, I haven't seen him," into your chat bar, your character will do a /no emote as they speak.
It's got the potential to be pretty cool and smooth, though it'll probably require a lot of individual tweaking in order for people to get it to line up with the way that they usually type.
