Our new Global Chat feature will be going to the Live servers soon and we want to give you the opportunity to reserve your global chat handle!
What is Global Chat?
Global Chat is an in-game cross-server chat system and friends list.
What is a Global Chat Handle?
Every player selects a name which they are universally known by; this "handle" is what they can be referred to regardless of what character they happen to be playing at the moment or what server they are on.
How do I reserve my global chat handle?
Just change your message board name to the name you wish to reserve for global chat now. You will need to leave your message board name changed until after Global Chat goes to the live servers and you have logged in successfully for the first time. After global chat goes live, changing your board name will no longer affect your global chat handle.
How do I change my message board name?
Click on "My Home."
From this page, under main configuration, choose Edit from the Personal information section. The first option to edit should be your display name.
What happens if I do not have a Message Board name?
If you do not have a message board name, your global chat handle will be the name of the character you log in with for the first time after global chat goes live. If that name has already been taken, a number will be added to the end to make it unique. Everyone can change their global chat handle one time after global chat goes live.
