Changes: Friend

Revision as of 06:40, 18 April 2015

The Friends List is a window which can be accessed by clicking the heart icon on bottom-left corner of the game. It shows the status of everyone you added as a friend.

To add a friend to your friends list, there are two ways:

Type "/friend username" in the chat box.
Click the username of a mouse (via chat box or scoreboard) and click "Add as friend"

To remove a friend from your friends list, click the X beside their name on the friends list.

Functions

Adding someone to your friends list allows you to keep track of whether or not they're online, and if that person adds you back to their friends list, you can keep track of the room they are in.
If your friends are offline, they show up as "disconnected" on your friends list, along with the last time they go online.
When your friend logs on, you will be notified via chat.
Shortcut buttons appear beside their username:
- The one on the left, that looks similar the letter C, allows quick access to the whisper feature.
- The one on the right, which is a right arrow, will take you to the room that your friend is in. (That person has to add you to their friends list first)

In addition, if your friends are in the same room as you, their name and title appear in a somewhat dull green color (not to be confused with the bright green shown in soulmate levels) rather than the usual gray. (Note: You may have to open and close your Friends List for this to happen.)

Notes

You can only have 200 friends.
Even if you don't add them, other people can still know when you are connected (not the room that you are though) by having you in their own friend list, and may whisper you.
If you married someone, that person will stay on top of the friends list, even when offline, and there will be a small heart icon beside their nickname. Removing this person from the friends list will divorce them.

Trivia

Before the update on 1 September 2010, you can see where is someone, without the person adding you back. This update presumably prevents stalking.

-If the person who you added as a friend did not add you as a friend, then it isn't possible to see what room they're in. It is however still possible to whisper to them. This update was presumably added to stop stalking.
