    Chatting / Inviting people who have a last name?

    I was wondering how you go about chatting to people who use last names. For example if I'm trying to chat with a player named Android17 I simply have to type "/tell Android17 Hello!" and it'll send him a message saying "Hello!"

    However, if I try to send a message to someone named Tongue Surgeon and type "/tell Tongue Surgeon Hello!" it'll simply try and send my message to a player named "Tongue" with the message "Surgeon Hello!"

    How do you include a players last name when trying to send them a message?

    Oh, good question, I hadn't thought of that. My character's name is "Sherrianna Jones". Can people talk to me!?

    *nod* I'm having that problem as "Clive Hawkins" right now. My friends who try to message me are talking to another player simply named "Clive." And as a clan leader when I try to invite people with last names it always says "player not found" even though they are standing right in front of me.

    Try putting the entire name in quotes (not parenthesis) to see if it accepts it as a string.

    /tell "First Last"

    try using an underscore for the space : Clyde_Weaver

    Hell, I've been having tells go /whisper Username Hey, chat still sucks, aren't you thankful?

    And it said something like "no username hey is available."

    I mean come on....

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?
