Thread: Tuesday Tips Feb 3rd
Each week, I start a thread for you to share game tips with fellow players. Have a little known command you use all the time, a cool place to visit, a trick (non-exploit) to getting more out of the game? Share it here. To get things started:
You can now communicate across Galaxies! Use [Galaxyname].[Charactername] in tells and game mail. For example, if you are on Ahazi and want to send a message to your friend Luuke on Sunrunner, simply type /tell Sunrunner.Luuke hello. You can type /addfriend Sunrunner.Luuke and he will be on your Friends List (default CTRL P). Don't forget the important, /addignore Sunrunner.Luuke if you don't want him bothering you... 
Note at the time of this writing, we still have a bug where European Servers can receive messages, but they can't sendthem out. We're looking into this bug now, when it is resolved I'll add this tip to the online manual and promote it more.
Also Test Center uses a different Chat Server so you can't talk between itand the regular galaxies, sorry.
Check out last week's tips.

oh, can you /tip across galaxies?
This one deserve's a whole topic on its own
is there a way to /tell into the guild channel from another server?
would be nice to chat with guildmates on alternate servers.

With all the bugs and problems with this game, you spend time implementing this??? Well I guess it is nice when the bazaar and vendors are down you can quickly find out if they are down on just your server or every server.....
So I guess this will be a frequently used feature....
), it would be great if we could add people in other galaxies to our friends lists. That way we would know when our friends are online with alts without having to send tells to find out.
