character names instead of account names......

Calad · 02/23/14, 09:56 AM

What I really would like to have:

An addon that shows character names instead of account names in guild- and group chat.
Maybe there could be an option in the guild and group window and guild-/group-leaders can choose which names are shown.
Would that be possible?
Most role-players would be grateful, I'm sure....

I don't have any knowledge about coding so I can't make addons myself. Please help me!

PS: Sorry for my bad English

It looks like it is possible, there is a function called GetGuildMemberCharacterInfo that I suspect will extract the specific characters a guild member has or just the one they are logged in with.

That would be great! Thank you

Hopefully there is a beta weekend this weekend and I can spend some time rigging up some addons. I hate writing code blind, so to speak.

Hi there,

my guild would love to see such an addon as well. Is it even possible to see the charakter names in the guild roster as well?

I had a quick look this weekend but only had time to concentrate on the one addon so hopefully a few more beta weekends before it goes live.

Yes, please. I second this request - it would be much easier to remember a main's name than an account name.

Rofl it has always been the other way round for our guild as we are a bunch of friends now and what characters we are playing are less important than who is playing so if I do figure it out it would definitely be flaggable to replace the name or append the name.

Well, yes, for most players this might be the case. But we don't use voice chats, we add roleplaying to our style of play and we don't care about the account but for the actual character that is being played.
