CoX's global chat handle system in regards to friends and ignored players should be in *every* MMOG. By friending or ignoring someone's global chat handle you can see if *any* of their characters (from that same account) are logged in so you do not have to /friend every character and automatically know if they log into a new one. Adding a global chat handle as a friend requires permission from the other player so it cannot be easily used for stalking. Global ignore is just as a good and does not require permission. You ignore the *account* (player) not just the character.
