Tags and titles
A tag is a short label shown next to your name. Some you buy with coins, many more you earn. Earned ones are called titles, and they also show above your head.
Wearing a tag
Section titled “Wearing a tag”- Open
/tagsand click the one you want. The menu only lists tags you own. - If your chat line shows your rank instead of your tag, type
/prefix tagto show the tag in chat.
Earned titles show above your head
Section titled “Earned titles show above your head”When you earn a title (from a tournament, a boss, a quest line, Motherlode and so on), it is equipped for you automatically and appears as a line above your head, as well as in chat.
- Pick a different tag in
