Friends List
Making Friends
| To add a player to your friends list, open their profile and click the "Ask to be Friend" button. This will send a friend request to player you wish to befriend. The other player will be able to review their friend requests in the Mail window and has the option to accept or decline your request. If they accept your request, their name will be added to your friends list, and in return, your name will be added to theirs. When you are friends with a player you will be able know when your friend is online, where they are located, and even have the ability send your friend a message. As you explore the kingdom, you may meet players who are interested in becoming your friend. Often they will send you a friend request. To review the friend requests you have received, go to the Friends tab and check how many Friends requests you have. On the top of the Friends section, you will see "You have _ new friend request(s)". To review these requests, click the "Show" button. You can choose to accept the request by clicking "Ok", decline the request by clicking "Cancel", or ignore the player sending the request by clicking "Ignore". Clicking "Ignore" will prevent the player in question from sending anymore friend requests for a little while. Your friends list will only hold 150 friends and once your friend list is full you can no longer add members. If you click accept to a friend request when your list is full, the request will simply just be added back to your current list of requests and the next request in line will pop-up. If you are getting too many friend requests and no longer wish to receive them, you can turn off your friends requests via the Settings Menu. When trying to send friend requests yourself, if you are unable to click the "Ask To Be A Friend" button for another player this may be due to the fact that they are already your friend or that they have their friend requests turned off. | Image:Sendrequest.jpg|The "Ask To Be a Friend" Button Image:ShowFriendRequests.JPG|Number of New Friend Requests Image:FriendRequest.JPG|A Friend Request Image:ShowFriendsRequests-SettingsMenu.JPG|Turning off Friend Requests Image:FullFriendListError.JPG|Full Friend List Error |

By clicking on a name on your friends list, you can get some information about your friend. On the bottom of the window you will see the date of their last activity, or if they are currently online, the room they are in. Their signature is also displayed here. Friends that are online are also highlighted in green and brought to the top of your friends list. If your friend is online, you can meet up with them by clicking "Enter Same Room" if the option is available. Doing this will take you to the room they are in, however, if they are in a mini-game or restricted area, you will not be able to go to them. |  |
