Q, is it wise to use a name example that is against the rules? Luke is filtered (main character: Luke Skywalker), and I believe there are rules against unorthodox spellings to get around the filters (such as Luuke or Skiewalker). Or has that changed?

Nifty tip 3PO


Is there a way to call pets/vehicles etc from the datapad using text? something like /call speederbike swoop or /call (healbot) etc?


(if it does exist, and that is the exact syntax, someone just beat me bloody and call it good, kay? =)

Update:


The bug has been fixed. You can now chat with European galaxies (the syntax is /tell Europe-FarStar.charactername). As reported, you can chat between Test Center and live galaxies as well (/tell TestCenter.charactername).


As for Friends and Ignore List, they do work, HOWEVER currently you can not remove these names with the UI button. You have to type /removefriend galaxyname.charactername or /removeignore galaxyname.charactername.


Have fun keeping in contact with your friends!







You can still remove them from the GUI, but the system drops the server name, so when you click on them in the list, add the servername and period in front of their name again, then click remove.


While we are on these subject, can we get the servername to stay on the name in the list? If so, it would remove the necessity for this work-around, and it would allow you to have your friend who uses the same name on all servers on your list with each of his servers listed... Thanks in advance... ^_^

(Note the capital L and W)

I've tried ever which way to get this work again. But I can not get the system to talk from my character on Naritus to my other friends on Bria.

I got the errors too. First off..I relogged...still did it.


The problem is, it is Case Sensitive


/tell Naritus.Jeram hello will work


/tell naritus.Jeram won't


but /tell Naritus.jeram works


the name isn't apprently, but the server name MUST be capitalized, or it gives the message there is a bug in the chat server.





No I don't have a freakin sig. Just make something up and pretend it's here man. woman. umm...Whatever.
