Will we get to use our character names on the forum like we do in WoW? Right now it's showing our account names instead of our character names.

 

I haven't seen anything on this and since search is down I can't look and see.

 

As a quick aside, does anyone know if the social abilities you get with your race actually do anything or are they just mainly for show? Like as a human I have rally which just seems to make everyone do a little victory cheer.

It's showing your forum handle, not your account name.

 

Social abilities are purely cosmetic or replace an existing skill, thus not actually giving you anything 'more'.

racial abilities are cosmetic....they don't offer bonuses of any type

the abilities are strictly for show, the 1 to punish your companion can be fun and I had the inspire on my SI in beta and Khem had alot of "doesn't feel it" lol.

I, for one, would love to see the community website integrate a character armory into it as Blizzard has done with Warcraft, including posting via character rather than account name. I imagine this is a bit work-intensive, though, and I'm sure all attention is currently focused on making sure the actual game runs smoothly. Perhaps somewhere down the road...
