I'm a beginner. I want to ask a question about how to cancel the hiding of my own status. I accidentally hide my own status so that others can't see my level. How can I cancel it now?

So you have found the setting once, and went Anon, and now want to change it back.. if I understand you correctly? Don't know the exact spot off hand, so I'm gonna post this and then come back with an edit after looking online.

Edit:
While in game, hit the - button in the top right area of your keyboard, over in the numpad section. Hit it again to get to the 2nd page of your menu. Choose Config, and then choose Misc, the 2nd option down the list will say Misc Character Information. Then click on Show, since your's should currently be set to Hide.

I don't know how to get rid of hiding.

You quoted the instructions I left for how to change it, so if you were referring to something else and I just misunderstood, or the info is still unclear, feel free to reply back again. Those directions though, should take you exactly to where you can toggle Anon Status on and off.

Can you elaborate a little more?

I want to cancel this hidden state now, because no one else can check my state in the game.

Type /anon

thank you

yeah.. there are a bunch of keyboard shortcuts. Here is a pretty good list of them from retail:

Note that some of them won't do anything (like /garden, friend list related commands, etc.) because those retail components aren't functioning here.
