Sorry to be a complete idiot, but can someone explain to me how to send a friend request? I'm evidently not bright enough to figure out what they mean by "character@handle" :):)
My opinion is my opinion.. Its not meant to be the ultimate universal decree, its just my opinion....

    Your character name, then @ then your username on the forum, NOT THE LOGIN NAME.

    This may be true for some people but my forum name is different than my in-game handle.

    Put in a ticket with PW and they can fix it. They had to do that for me in CoH.

    My account is so old that my account name, forum name, and @name are all different. I kinda like it that way :)
    To grow old is inevitable, to grow up is optional.
    Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.

    Same here that's why I haven't changed it. Same account I used in the CO beta.

    Umm... PW never had CoH. Also, they will only do this under rare circumstances.

    Zzzz...your @name is the PWE account name. If you play other PWE titles, any custom channels, as well as online presence is visible in those other games. People can also message you in those games while you're playing NWO. Pretty ****ing awesome if you ask me!

    if in doubt have them click on the mail box in game and choose compose . It will show them their @handle to mail themselves.

    You can right-click your character's portrait (in the top left corner of the screen by default). At the top of the context menu that appears, you'll see your Name@Handle.

    There is a chat option to turn on full names in the chat window. It takes all the guess work out of it. I know more people by their @handle then by their character names most times. Handy if you got a big friends list as it tracks friends by account not character.

    If your forum handle (not login name, always keep that private!) and cryptic @handle differ, then go here:
    https://secure.crypticstudios.com/

    . . . . . Log in, input your account guard one-time code, then the very last option in that main menu will be to sync your @handle to your forum handle (nickname). The only reason this wouldn't work and return an error is if someone already is using your forum handle as their in-game cryptic @handle. In this case, you will be unable to sync your @handle and be stuck with two different handles for the forum and Cryptic games.

    . . . . . The only way you can get your forum handle changed is if it constitutes a breach of privacy or otherwise violates the Terms of Service but in most cases of the latter, users are banned instead. The same holds true for @handles, save for the method in the link above. You can always page a GM and ask though and if the cause is warranted, they may change it for you. I cannot speak for them in terms of absolute certainty though.

    Yep. Someone else uses my forum name as their handle. Always wondered if they ever get grief for my opinionated posts.

    . . . . . . A work around could* be to have that person sync so their @handle changes to their forum name. You would then be able to sync, making your forum name and their old @handle, your new @handle. That would require contacting the person though oneself and asking for them to do it.

    *I am not sure though - just my logic really.
