Gw2’s terminology is confusing.

Your Account Name is the email you use when logging on. Your Display Name is the name and number (Romek.4201) that you chose when buying the game.

So what you are actually asking for is the Display Name in chat, not the Account Name (the email). A small point, but I think we can guarantee they never will allow the Account Name to show. ^^

Using the nickname option only changes the Display name in-game. It does not affect character names. I’m afraid you will have to mouseover the character names to discover the Account name, at this time.

Who knows? They might change it to work as it did in Guild Wars (One) (showing both on Friend’s list), some day.
