Friends List



The Friends List is user interface panel that allows you to track the in-game location and status of mutual friends and to see you recent teammates and trade partners. You can also use it to ignore certain players. You can toggle its appearance through the in-game menu or using a keyboard shortcut (default key: [N]).

Player Status
The Player Status menu at the the top of the panel determines what your friends see:


 * Online: The default option; no special change to your appearance in other players' lists.
 * Offline: You do not appear in other people's lists; you can whisper them, but they cannot whisper you.
 * Away: You appear as away. You can whisper other people; if they whisper you, they also receive a message stating that you are away and might not respond right away.
 * Do Not Disturb: You appear as Do not disturb. You can whisper other people; they can try to whisper you, but you will not see the message. Players sometimes use this during a mission or quest; they want friends to know that they are online, but do not want to be distracted.

Online Friends
Players whom you have added to your friends list are displayed here when they're online and in gold font. To add someone to your friends list, type that character's name in the "Click here to add a friend" box and press enter. Your friends list can hold up to 50 names.

If someone you friended is logged in with another character on the same account, that character's name will be displayed in parentheses next to the character name you initially added.

Mutual Friends
If someone on your friends list has also added you to their list, their current location will be displayed in [brackets] next to their name. If their name, alternate character name and location doesn't fit then you can enlarge window by dragging the bottom right corner of the friends list window.

Offline Friends
Players that you have added to your friends list, but who are either offline or appearing offline, are displayed here in grey font.

Ignore List
The ignore list allows you to identify players from whom you do not wish to hear. Adding a person to your ignore list blocks all messages from that person, and prevents his/her text from appearing in your chat windows. It does not affect their messages in the alliance chat tab. No status will be displayed for these accounts, and no other character names will be displayed. The ignore list can hold a maximum of 10 names and uses white font.

You appear to ignored players as if you are offline.

Recent Teammates
The Recent Teammates list displays players that played with in your party since you logged on; this list resets on logging out, white font as well.

Recent Trade Partners
The Recent Trade Partners list displays players with which you have traded via the trade window since you logged on; this list resets on logging out, white font as well.
