#8 Users in game cannot talk to gaim-bnet user

[Don Seiler]

I had my brother-in-law try out gaim-bnet with me. I
logged in with gaim-bnet on useast, while he joined a
game in Diablo II LOD. He could see my private
messages, but when he tried to respond with either /msg
or /whisper, battle.net said I wasn't logged in and
suggested he try a different server.

I'm going to create a dummy battle.net account to test
and verify.

OK the game user needs to use a "*" to talk back. like "/w
*dtseiler hi there".

Not sure if we should be trying to do anything else, though.

Perhaps this should go into FAQ. I'll put it there and
close then when I do.

I know it's a little late, but eh. This only affects
Diablo2, and when you try to whisper somebody from Diablo2
without the preceeding *, it says "Unable to whisper
character (if you want to whisper an account and not a
character, use *account_name)".
