Hi there. Here is a tip to you: do not use global chat. Use a more authentic chat such as a registered name in IRC or skype (registered for the former so they cannot take your name). You're pretty much putting yourself in a handicap position even without global chat since when you die, you lose all contact information on that character. To start off with, I recommend going to the goon #haven chatroom in synirc.net.
The global chat in IRC has virtually no features: no buddy list, no identification, not even name restriction. You can even use this in the chaaracter creation room and change your name each time you chat while in that room. If you are so paranoid about having your name taken, it is 10 to the 6th degree worse in global chat where anyone can be named jorb. It is even expressed by loftar that he does not like a universal chat either. There really is no reason to use global chat.
He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience, dies slowly.
