Friend's list
| Every MMORPG has an in-game friend's list. Find out all about Last Chaos' friend's list feature here. | |
To access the friend's list window, hit F or ALT+F. You can also open this window
| |
| Friends are displayed with their character's name and a small icon detailing which class that character is. Online friends have bright icons and offline friends have dark icons. When a friend comes online, their name and icon are automatically moved to the top of your list. | |
The rest of this page explains how to...

| Status settings | |
| Every person has three different status options they can choose from. To see your options, click on the little down-arrow that's beneath the x in the top right of the friend's list window. In the screenshot on the right, my current status is "Online."  If I set it to "Absence," a little red circle with a line through it will appear beside my character icon. This is a good status to use when you are busy. If I set it to "Offline," my character icon will appear dark. When your status is set to "Offline," your friends will not be able to chat with you and other people will not be able to add you as a friend. You may still send and recieve messages via the chatbox though. |  | |
| Adding friends | |||
 | To add a friend to your list, hit the "Add" button. This window will come up and ask you to input the name of your friend. Once you've hit "Confirm," a message will be sent to the person asking if they agree to being on your friend's list. The max number of friends that you may have on your friend's list is currently 50. This amount may be increased in the future. When adding friends, keep in mind that all names are case-sensitive. Also, you may not add people who are offline or are on a different server. | ||
 | |||
| Groups | ||
| You may organize your added friends into groups. To do this, click on the "Group" button. You will be presented with three options--you can add a new group, delete a group, or change a group's name. If you choose to delete a group or change a group's name, the little yellow arrows will expand into another menu and allow you to pick the group you want to do that for. All your friends are automatically placed in the group titled "Friends." You can create other groups and move friends into them, but be warned that sometimes your changes don't stick. For me, I've found that if I create more than two groups, all my friends in all the groups will be moved back into the default one next time I log in. Also, if you use more than two groups you are likely to run into a small glitch that will only allow you to "copy" friends out of the main group and into new ones, insted of completely moving them from the main to the new. Maybe you noticed the little minus sign by the "Friends" group name? Click that to minimize the group. Minimizing a group saves you scrolling time and frustration, as well as makes your list easier to look at and read. To maximize a group again, hit the plus sign. In order to move a friend into a group, all you have to do is drag-and-drop. You may also move friends between groups by right-clicking on their names and selecting the "Move Group" option. |  | |
 | ||
| Deleting friends | |||
 | To remove a friend from your list, hit the "Delete" button. This window will come up. Into the text area, type the name of the person that you wish to delete, then hit "Confirm." Their name will be removed from your list and your name will be removed from theirs. No confirmation is necessary from them. You may also delete a friend by right-clicking their name on your friend's list and selecting the "Delete" option. Doing that saves you from having to type their name out (which can be tough, since it is case-sensitive). | ||
| Blocking friends | ||
 | You can block a friend by hitting the "Block" button and typing their name in, or right-clicking on their name and selecting the "Block" option. If you choose to block someone by inputting their name into the block-window's text box, remember that it's case-sensitive. | |
| Many people seem to miss this part of the friend's list. It's the second tab, labeled "Blocked list." This one is to the right of the tab labeled "Friends list." The blocked list shows all your blocked friends (and/or enemies). If you put someone on your blocked list, they will never be able to add you as a friend. As far as I know, the blocked list's limit is 50 people. I've never had more than two blocked at at time though (and they were goldspammers), so I can't really say that I've tested it out myself. |  | |
| Messaging friends | ||
| Messaging someone is simple. Just double-click their name on your friend's list! If they're online, a window similar to the one on the right will open up for you. Your cursor should be automatically moved to the text area, so to send them a message just start typing. Then hit Enter. Every time someone messages you, this window will come up and your cursor will be moved to the text area. This can be quite annoying to anyone who's in the middle of a fight or is trying to talk to another person at the same time. Be careful about your message timing, you wouldn't want your friend to end up dying because you interrupted their hotkey flow. You also wouldn't want to end up causing them to accidentally send you half of a conversation that was supposed to go to someone else. |  | |
| Changing text colors | |||||
 | Did you know you can change the color of your message text? To do so, click on the down arrow that's on the far right side of the text area. A grid of nine colors will open up. Move your mouse over the one you want and click on it. Your chosen text color will only affect your messages after they are sent. All things typed in the text area will still appear white. Everyone's default text color is white, so to change back to that just select the white square. | ||||
| Who's in here with me? |
 To see who else is in the message window with you, click on the down arrow on the far right of the "Members in chat" bar. The names of the message participants will be listed for you on the window's right. As you can see in the screenshot above, there are just two participants in this messenger window. But you can add more! |
| To add people to a messenger window, open your friend's list and drag and drop their name/icon in there! They must be online, of course. As far as I know, there is no limit to the amount of people you may have in a message window. |  |
| Thank you, all of you whose character names appeared in the screenshots. If it weren't for you this wouldn't be much of a guide! ;) | |
