== Overview ==
A Global Chat Handle is a name that each account is given. All Chat Handles begin with @ and then the handle name. (ie: @example). A person's Chat Handle will be displayed on all of their Global Friends' lists. <br>
Once a Chat Handle has been assigned to a person's account, it can only be changed once. The only exception to this was in summer of 2006, when a sort of Chat Handle "respec" was given. Players were able to change their Chat Handle even if they had once changed it previously.
 
== How Chat Handles are Used ==
Chat Handles can be used to send tells to players on different servers, or instead of their character (ie: if their villain is set to ignore hero tells, they can recieve Global tells even from a hero). Any global tells sent while a player is offline will be received the next time someone logs in on that account. There is a limit to how many global tells can be sent to one person by any amount of people.
 
== How Chat Handles are Decided ==
When Chat Handles first came out, the names given where identical to their CoH Forum names, with some minimal editing due to disallowed charecters in handle names. However, when a new account is created, the Chat Handle is made the same name as the very first character created on that account.
 
== Known Glitches ==
Chat handles have been a bit unstable since the "Handle Respec". Some people have experienced the following:
 
* The account's handle is chosen, but later their handle changes to that of an alternate character and the option to change their handle is considered used.
* People have changed their handle, but it later changed back to the previous.
