Cross-Server Friends List

[Sakuraluna]

This, a thousand times over. I've transferred servers and had to leave friends behind, would be nice to be able to keep in touch with them through a cross server fl of some sort.

GW2, if my memory serves me right, allows you to have cross-server FL.


EDIT: On FFXIV, you have chars with similar names on different servers. Come to think of it, I wonder how that works when two people on different servers but similar names are queueing in DF at the same time. Even if the probablility of them ending up in the same dungeon is very low, the possibility has to have been accounted for, right?

The way I want to remember it from FFXI is that your friends list was account-based rather than character-based through PlayOnline, which was one thing I did like about POL.Of course there weren't any instanced events in XI, and I could be wrong in how I'm remembering this I haven't played XI in a number of years now. But I imagine that this sort of system could be made to work in XIV too. Not necessarily a POL-like program, just a cross-server/cross-data center friend list implemented straight into the game would be amazing. I'm not sure how complicated it would be to add to the game at this point, but I'm also not sure why it isn't already in place tbh. Also, having a way to queue up for things together would be awesome but it would only work if the two servers were in the same data center anyways.

It would be pretty funny to see two different characters on two different classes with the same name pop up in DF though. Even worse if they were both dps. xD
