Friends List
From Guild Wars Wiki
The Friends List is part of the user interface. It allows you to track your friends' in-game status, recent teammates and recent trade partners as well as ignore other players. It is accessed either from the menu, or by pressing the 'N' key.

[edit] Usage
[edit] Player Status
The Player Status menu at the top of the friends window allows you to set the status that will be shown to your friends.
The following statuses are available:
- Online - the default option that you are set to upon logging in.
- Offline - you can whisper other people, but they cannot whisper you.
- Away - you can whisper other people, but if they try and whisper you, they will receive a message alerting them to the fact that it may take some time for you to respond.
- Do Not Disturb - you can whisper other people, but if they try and whisper you, you will be unable to see it.
Do Not Disturb is commonly used in high-level areas where it is useful for others to know you are online, but you do not wish to be distracted.
[edit] Online Friends
Players that you have added to your friends list, and are online, are displayed here. To add someone to your list, type their name in the "Click here to add a friend" box, and press enter.
If they are logged in with another character on that account, that character's name will be displayed next to the character name you initially added. The friends list can hold up to 50 names.
[edit] Offline Friends
Players that you have added to your friends list, but who are either offline or appearing offline, are displayed here.
[edit] Ignore List
The ignore list allows you to add 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.
If a player on your ignore list tries to whisper you, they will receive a message in green text saying '{Your Character's Name} is ignoring you'.
[edit] Recent Teammates
The Recent Teammates list displays players that played with in your party since you logged on; this list resets on logging out.
[edit] 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.
