Cross-Server Friends List

[ruskie]

They could add a second level friendship that is SE account based. After you befriend someone you could get an extra popup if you wish to befriend via their account as well so that even if they move to a diff server you can still have them in the friends list and stuff that way.

All this RMT limitations nonsense really makes me wanting to do mean things. Like kicking puppies, shiving lalas, throwing someone of Highbridge.


When making a system with Letterboxes (with pommels) which seems like its taken from WoW, why not also include Postage and MoD function.

We can't do this and that because of RMT, tells in dungeons, talking to FC/LS within PVP, any form of trading in Dungeons, send letters to people outside of out Friendlist, add alts to out Friendlist.

COME ON

RMT put so much criminal energy into what they do, they simply don't CARE about those things.

Not having a cross-server FL has nothing to do with combating RMT, you would need to accept the friend request anyway. The problem is that stuff like that is not exactly easy to implement, especially now when dataservers are no longer directly connected to each other.

Put it this way. Allowing to queue up in DF with the chocobo up is very hard to implement, implementing a cross-server FL is even harder.

I don't recall any MMO that allows that, but please enlighten me. WoW it doesnt work like that, at least not early MoP. Blizzard has a Blizzard Live ID that makes communicatiion possible, this is something that FFXIV doesnt have

WOW lets you do anything you want on a cross server friends list except for current raids, however this is getting changed soon or already has, you even pop into the raid leaders realm and interact with players on that server to a degree and vice versa ^^. Theres even a PF in WOW that lets you find people even cross realm or sign up on its group finder that advertises cross realm and basically can do what you want, even questing .

Erm...WoW lets you friend people from other servers and lets you group up with them and run dungeons/pvp/etc...

Of course feature wise WoW tends to be 2-3 years ahead of everyone else...Which is a shame cuz I tend to find WoW really boring =/ Wish other companies would keep up with the features WoW comes out with.

In terms of server tech, no one can match blizzard right now, its not even funny, no one can really match them or catch up, they pretty much have the best in the business working on the servers.

I'd love this. Even if it didn't have any of the functionality of wow's cross server friend list it would be nice to just speak to people I know who play elsewhere.

That said, the odds of this happening are below zero. SE is determined to keep us isolated. I'd hope for simply being able to use tells in dungeons before something like this.

Agreed.

I created a thread on this in the UI Section (to create a new UI "Cross-Server Friends List") a while back:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...st-and-Parties

Hopefully something like this gets implemented in the future.

It WILL take a lot of work, to be sure, but it's worth it to increase the sense of Community and build friendships (and open up possible Cross-Server Friends Invite to Parties to Raid, etc.).

[Shikiseki]

That would actually be cool! if it's possible, why not even be able to LS invite!!!
Chatting all day long

Sad but true.
