Friend

Main / Interface / Friend

This page explains how to manage your friend list which can be found as a tab on the event window.

Aside from being a social action, adding friends provides additional controls over the permissions and management of some structures and vehicles, such as on house writs and boats and also allows both parties to see log-in and log-off messages.

Friends List

Usage

To add another avatar, or player as a friend, right click on their model and select Friend > Add. Once the recipient accepts the invite, a friendship will be formed. It's also possible to add friends by typing /addfriend playername into the chat box. You may specify a friend category with /addfriend playername category.

To view a list of all friends, select the Friends tab from the event box. The friends tab displays a list of all friends, across all servers, and their current status.

To remove a friend from the list simply right click on their name in the box on the right and select Options > Remove. Or alternatively enter into the chat box "/remove friendname".
