City Of Heroes Player Guide - Global -handle(1)

Global “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.

When you log into the live servers for the first time after Global Chat has been implemented you will be presented with a pop up window that shows your global chat handle. It will be your current character name.

If the global handle is already taken, then a number is added to the end of the name (starting with “1”). When the number exceeds the character limit (16), the last letter of the handle is removed and the number one is added to the end.

NOTE: For the Global Chat beta on the test server and live servers, you must first enable the global chat function by using the command:

/chatbeta 1

To turn off global chat beta type the command:

/chatbeta 0

When you activate the Global Chat Beta, a message will appear notifying you that Global Chat is on and the message will tell you what your handle is. You may use the command

/myhandle to check your global handle at any time.

The live version of global chat will eventually always be on; however you can use the hide button to appear offline. Any messages sent to you while offline or hidden will appear at your next log in. You can also use the command

/ghide to hide from your Global Friends or

/gunhide to unhide.

Changing Handles

A player can change his handle ONLY once. The command is as follows:

/changehandle <user name>

If the handle is already taken, you will be prompted to try again until you successfully enter a handle that has not been used. Conversely, you can use the Change Handle option from the in-game menu option.
