Star Wars Galaxies: Tuesday Tips for 11/16 (Friends Across Galaxies)

Thunderheart posted about staying in touch across different galaxies as this week's tip:

Staying in touch with friends across Galaxies

We are still seeing a lot of questions about staying in touch with friends across galaxies, so I wanted to touch on cross-galaxy chat and friend's lists for all of our newer community members:

Adding a friend: Keep in touch with friends across galaxies by adding them to your friend's list (including laceName>TestlaceName> laceType>CenterlaceType>) like this:

In the spatial chat window, type:

/addfriend servername.character

OR use the Friends window (CTRL-P, Friends Tab):

Use the ADD command in the friends window and type in:

Servername.character

A tip to help keep track of which server they are on is to use the "Group" column in your friends list.

Note: that it will only show the player name in your friends list, so if you add someone like Chilastra.Han it will only say "Han" in your friends list. Also, it will only keep the last "Han" in your list.

Chatting with a friend: Chat with friends across galaxies using tells like this:

/tell Servername.character - sends to characters on another server

ex.) /tell Chilastra.Han message text
