User Aliases

Setup and manage different personas for conversations with players.

Purpose

Aliases allow you to participate in livechat and ticket conversations under a different persona than that of your user account. This can be useful to:

• Maintain your privacy.

• Establish goodwill with an alias localised to an audience demographic or region.

• Force multiply your perceived team size.

---

Configuration

Aliases are managed in user account settings.

Create Alias

Select the + button next to "User aliases".

Alias Settings

Create a new alias or select an existing alias' button to view its settings:

• Avatar — the profile image displayed next to your chat replies.

• Name — the name shown next to your chat replies.

• Set as default — sets the alias as your default persona for all new conversations. If no default is set, your user account's first & last name is the default.

• Email signature — the alias' content for the signature block that shows at the bottom of ticket (email) replies:

  • Name — can be the same as the Livechat name or different, e.g. more formalized.

  • Content — any unique text appearing below the name.

---

Delete Alias

In the alias' button, select the X button and confirm deletion. This is a permanent action and cannot be undone, however an identical alias can be recreated. The deleted alias will remain visible as a participant in the chat logs of prior conversations, but cannot be applied to future ones.

Alias Usage

1. Open a conversation in the Inbox.

2. At the top of the message editor is an alias button showing the currently-applied alias. Use the dropdown to switch aliases.

The default alias is auto-selected for new conversations, and the last-used alias for ongoing conversations. Aliases can be switched at any time in ongoing conversations, but note that this is perceived as a new individual from the player's point of view.
