Acquainted

Acquainted adds a little mystery to meeting people in World of Warcraft: Forever. Unfamiliar players’ overhead names stay hidden until you choose to remember them.

Other players don’t need Acquainted or any roleplay addon installed. Total RP 3 is optional, with support for recognising existing relationships and displaying RP names.

Features

• Meet and Forget: Remember people through their portrait’s right-click menu.
• Names without health bars: Show large overhead names with guild names beneath them.
• Per-character acquaintances: Each of your characters keeps its own list of people they’ve met and any personal nicknames you’ve assigned.
• Flexible visibility: Choose whether friends, guild members, and party or raid members always appear.
• Companion names: Show pet and minion names only when their owner is known, or hide them entirely.
• Adjustable appearance: Change name size and height above characters.
• Settings restoration: Switching Acquainted off outside combat restores the game settings it changed.

How to use

Type /acq to open settings.

Target a player and right-click their portrait, then choose Meet in the Acquainted section. Choose Forget to remove their saved memory.

You can also use:

• /acq meet — Remember your target.
• /acq meet Nickname — Remember your target with a personal nickname.
• /acq forget — Forget your target.
• /acq togglemet — Toggle the met status of a target.
• /acq off — Disable Acquainted and restore your original settings.
• /acq status — Show version and troubleshooting information.

Forgetting someone removes their manual memory. Enabled friend, guild, group, or TRP3 relationship rules may still reveal them.

Compatibility and limitations

Built for WoW Forever’s default Blizzard nameplates. Overhead text uses Blizzard’s available nameplate range and visibility rules; chat, tooltips, and target frames can still show names.

Cosmetic companions and wild critters share an overhead-name setting, so ordinary critter names are also hidden while Acquainted is active. That setting is restored when Acquainted is disabled normally. A hard crash may prevent immediate cleanup; saved originals are retained for recovery.
