MainCharacterTag

Version Interface

A lightweight World of Warcraft addon for vanilla (1.12.1) that automatically tags your guild chat messages with your main character's name when playing on alts.

What it does

When you chat in Guild or Guild Officer chat on an alt, your messages are automatically prefixed with your main's name so guildmates always know who they're talking to.

Example: Playing on your alt Shadowpoke with main set to Thunderbash:

(Thunderbash): Hey all, it's me just on my alt!

Messages sent from your main character are unaffected.

Installation

  1. Download and unzip the addon
  2. Place the MainCharacterTag folder in:
    World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/
    
  3. Restart WoW or reload your UI (/reload)
  4. Enable MainCharacterTag on the character select screen

Usage

Type /mct or /mainchartag to open the options window.

Enter your main character's name and click Save. That's it.
