&image=im01;&pre=1;A handle serves as your name inside PlayOnline. You will be represented by your handle in Friend Lists and Friend Search results.
&style=sp04; &style;
&li=sp;&style=bd16;Handle ID&style;
All registered handles are given a unique Handle ID. Unlike handle names, Handle IDs are automatically generated and the same ID is never issued more than once.&li;
&style=sp04; &style;
&style=br14;* New handles can be registered from the handle list. For more
information, please refer to "1. The Handle List" section.
&style=sp02; &style;
* Up to 64 handles can be registered to one PlayOnline ID.&style;&li;
&style=sp04; &style;
&li=pb;&style=bd16;Active Handle&style;
The handle you are currently using is called the "active handle." The active handle is displayed in the upper portion of the screen with Handle ID and your portrait.&li;
&style=sp04; &style;
&li=pb;&style=bd16;Portrait&style;
A portrait can be set as a part of a handle's profile. This portrait will also be displayed in the friend lists of registered friends, and the Group Friend Lists of friend groups you have joined.
&style=sp04; &style;
&style=br14;* New portraits may become available after version updates.&style;

&style=sp04; &style;

age.&style;&li;
