For the purposes of this post, here are some fake names
forum account name: ramborocks
chars: enchantress - rambo123, archer - iloverambo, warrior - ramboiii
ok, so let's say you play a lot with a fellow player named rambo123 but now on a map you see the player iloverambo. You could select the player and along with seeing their stats that you do now, you would see their forum account name ramborocks. This is of course, if ramborocks has linked it with his forum name.
I think this would be a nice OPTION so that people can know who the characters belong too. "Oh, that's one of ramborocks' characters."
The reason I suggest this is because you might form online friends in PL with another char but then when one of that friend's alts are brought in, you have think it's a completely different person. You might even act differently towards that person. And this eliminates the conversation in the middle of battle about how this is one of your other characters.
And I might emphasize here, this is an OPTION. I know there are those that want to play anonymously and there are a lot of players that don't use the forums. So, as with everything, this is optional.
Just like Battle.net accounts for WoW, we have PL accounts. However, we use email addresses to log in as a userid, so I didn't want to suggest linking it to the account out of privacy concerns. Since forum accounts are more private, I figured we could use these.
