Altitude

Never fool your friends again! Altitude lets you create a prefixed name appended to your character's chat messages, so that you're recognized on any alt.

Altitude's chat prefix

Altitude's chat prefix

Description

Altitude

Altitude allows you to create a chat prefix, which will be appended to each message you send in selected channels. Use profiles to create multiple prefix and channel combos for different realms, guilds, or anything else your altoholic heart desires!

Instructions

Type /alt to open the settings page, where you can set your prefix, select relevant channels, and more (don't forget to save!).

Format

Once saved, each message in the selected channels will append your prefix in the following manner:

[character name]:[prefix] chat message

For example, if your character's name is Thrall (a shaman, naturally) and you're usually known as "DestroyerX" by your guildies and friends, you can type your main's name as the prefix and select the guild channel.

Now, whenever you type in /g, they'll see it as "[Thrall]: [DestroyerX] howdy".
