Before anyone asks, yes I used the search function with terms like "friend" "social" "list" and "request". All I saw were indeed social topics, but nearly all were focused on name requirements, trade (guild ACs) and guilds and etc.

If I overlooked a topic like this then let me know, and I will see if I can beg a Mod to banish this thread to oblivion.

Any MMO is incomplete without a friending/social system. We have friends, enemies, close friends, and bitter ach-nemesis(es). But how do we manage them?

Topics to consider:

-Friend requests and list is a basic. But is it just a simple list of friends? Can we have tabs/circles of specific friends like "close friends" and "Guild friends"? I always find a simple list to be fine, but I know many who prefer some in depth organization.

-A blacklist is also a commonality, where else are we to put our list of personal enemies? Or perhaps its a place to the temporarily place the raging 'normally-cool' friend who has been a little angsty as of late? The people who you just don't want to associate with?

-Further classifications like profession associates and perhaps PvP teammates. Are they wanted?

-There is also the possibility of marriage......normally bound with either a set of difficult quests and/or an expensive package from the cash shop. Uh, any wants? Any qualms against the......whatever system MMOs use.

(.....um.....not sure how to introduce this...isn't this one of the ones that are either a 'delicate topic' or 'undervalued'?)

Feel free to specify your wants and desires, as i'm sure friends (and enemies) will be a large part of this MMO. Discuss at your leisure.

Maybe there is a handle system so you can know what characters all your friends are on
