They Don't know people's usernames and/or In Game Name. ( that we know of... jk)
1. Most people use their ign as their forums names/usernames.
2. Also another thing is that most people, including myself, put their character names/lvls/worlds in their signature.

If the reason of this post is that you are worried about the possibility of someone getting your Celtic Heroes login
information from the forums and therefore hacking your actual CH account, you need not to fret. The only possible
way that would happen is if you used the same exact username and password as you are using in the CH app as your
forum login information (Which when you make an account, OTM warns you not to do so :P ) , and somehow someone
managed to break the system... because people be like that....

So... to sum up. They do not and will not know your In Game Name (IGN) based off your forum name. Unless: you tell them, it is in your signature. They can guess if it is the exact same (just as any person could and maybe would) but they cannot use that assumption unless it is proven true.

Which is why you're encouraged to send in support tickets rather than PM admins on the forum, to avoid impersonation.

Also the fact that they are all wizards doesnt hurt either.

I know that they can see your IP or another sort of identification and they can probably compare it to the IP of the person who they think is the in game player.

Would probably be too much work though...

Not sure if this works tbh :/
