Margie and I have both signed up for the Global Chat (beta) on CoH, with the following handles:
| Me: | @Three-Star Dave |
| Margie: | @Kazima |
When signed into Global Chat (“/chatbeta 1” in each login session), you can set up a list of friends by their player “handles” (always starting with a “@”). If one of those friends is online, the global friends list will show what character they are playing (incl. archetype, level, team size) and where (map). Spiffy — no need to maintain a humongous alt list for each friend.
The official instructions for Global Chat can be found here. See you in Paragon!
At some point, I need to put this info (and my current roster) in the sidebar. Note to self.
So…how did you get to set up and not have it your character name?
So what does Kazima mean? Is it just made up? From what you’ve mentioned about your wife, I imagine there’s something behind it 🙂
Doh!…how nice of you to provide the link to the guide.
My bad.
I’ll have to change mine to bd# for convienance sake.
Right now, I’m @Hang Time and haven’t seen cause to change it, as it is, after all, my main.
Havne’t had much chance to test the thing out, though, so I’m looking forward to what this might add to our ease of use.
You can do a *single* rename of your handle. Otherwise it defaults to the character you’re first signed in as.
Kazima was Margie’s “celestial on her wanderjahr” in a shortlived D&D game we played a while back. Fun times, and Margie’s newest scapper.
I am now @bd
Kazima is an Arabic name that mean something like “restrained anger” or “controlling rage”.
Had fun with Honeygun running around with Kazima last night …
Kazima seems like a really fun character.
Margie’s wild and adventurous (but still virtuous) side. 🙂
