Yes please, bring us back FFXI party invit system !
Yesterday a friend who wanted to seek for a party asked me to look if i could find him with the search thing.
He could see himself, I couldn't see a damn thing except the "result: none" no matter what i did. Great.

This and a real linkshell menu are two things that should really be done by now. Why ? Simply because a copy/paste from ffxi would have been just perfect.
