Display of character name vs account name in zone chat

molyforest

Hi and thanks in advance for any help, I just noticed my account name is displaying in zone chat instead of my character name. Is this a recent change, some setting I have modified, or something I am just confused about? I never noticed this until today. Did I imagine this? I thought previously my character name displayed in the chat. I don't really care and I don't use the zone chat much anyway. I am sure it is better for the player environment for the account name to display, except that it had more of a roleplay feel for me to have my character name display.

Sorry if this topic is aleady dealt with, Thanks for your patience

iirc in settings there is a option. Im at work so I cannot check.

It is indeed a setting you can change -- not ingame rn but I believe it would be under Social. If you have any addons that change the chatbox somehow, they may have caused the change, as character name should be default.

I definitely prefer to do account name, but char name is the choice if you want the immersion. Either way someone will end up confused about who you're talking to
