| + | #REDIRECT [[Global Chat Handle]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Overview ==
| + | |
| − | A Global Chat Handle is a name that each account is given. All Chat Handles begin with @ and then the handle name. (ie: @example). A person's Chat Handle will be displayed on all of their Global Friends' lists. <br>
| + | |
| − | Once a Chat Handle has been assigned to a person's account, it can only be changed once. The only exception to this was in summer of 2006, when a sort of Chat Handle "respec" was given. Players were able to change their Chat Handle even if they had once changed it previously.

| − | == How Chat Handles are Used ==
| + | |
| − | Chat Handles can be used to send tells to players on different servers, or instead of their character (ie: if their villain is set to ignore hero tells, they can recieve Global tells even from a hero). Any global tells sent while a player is offline will be received the next time someone logs in on that account. There is a limit to how many global tells can be sent to one person by any amount of people.

| − | == How Chat Handles are Decided ==
| + | |
| − | When Chat Handles first came out, the names given where identical to their CoH Forum names, with some minimal editing due to disallowed charecters in handle names. However, when a new account is created, the Chat Handle is made the same name as the very first character created on that account.

| − | == Known Glitches ==
| + | |
| − | Chat handles have been a bit unstable since the "Handle Respec". Some people have experienced the following:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * The account's handle is chosen, but later their handle changes to that of an alternate character and the option to change their handle is considered used.
| + | |
| − | * People have changed their handle, but it later changed back to the previous.
