I don't think anyone has touched in this before but I know this would be helpful for many many people. It would be amazing if we could organize our friend's list by making our own subcategories that we could name.
For example, we can add a new category named "VQ partners" and in that sublist we can add the people we usually VQ with, and in other lists we can put "Codex Partners" and add people we usually codex with.
It just makes sense to have this, I always add tons of people for certain things but I can't keep track of 100 people and what I did with them. We already have a similar system with the template saves so why not with the friends list?

I heard once that Nasa spent millions on a pen that wouldn't leak in space. I also heard that the Russians just used a pencil..Not sure of the truth of it, but...
Have you ever heard of a text doc or a notepad and pencil?

This is a video game. We don't need to write down IGN's of other player's in a notebook.

P&P is still the best way to go for rpg's IMO. D&D was/is good for a reason.

Signed because it's a simple feature that should have been added when the game was released. Either groups or a text area.
And you're clearly trolling with the pen and paper thing. Generally you're suppose to make it sound like you're serious.

*Edit: Text area, otherwise known as a player journal. Not part of the friends list, so less clutter, cleaner overall. On that you will get no disagreements at all from me. It was a core feature of Neverwinter Nights from day 1, and was very handy. Still very handy to copy it from time to time, at least to a text doc, better still if it's stored in with your templates etc as a text doc so u can just print it. I'm still 100% sold on p&p for hard copies of important stuff. Wiped your template folder by accident lately?

How about an email system. Take away the friends list. Attach an email address to your "account name" (the one selected for your account that is in the Account tab when pressing H) and have it be like [email protected]
Have people be able to send and recieve messages thus making it easier to organize things and to have more space for all your contacts. Would also like a more useful IM feature then PMing, seems kinda weak and can get lost/messy when trading in Kam or Farming.
so /signed but more in depth

In EQ2 we had a server-side friends list, and it came with notes you could write about each friends entry, to keep it organized more. The notes part was client side only in..you guessed it... a .txt file. So it should be possible... as it wouldn't be taking server resources, only reads from the client side text file. Downside is, if you go to a friends house, you wouldn't have your notes.

I agree first poster is definitely being a troll, don't be stupid about it, some of you are making it waayyyy to complicated, all I want is to be able to organize the friends list so I know who I do what with. We don't need a player journal at all just little tabs above a list of names saying "farming buddies" or VQ buddies"

The only friends I have in game are my guild and my real life friends who play the game.
I did have others in my friends list but they were just contacts and after a while I forgot who they were and why I added them.
So yes a tabbed friends list would be useful, I do use a notepad for the game but that's mainly for keeping a record of possible new builds and where I am up to in the game.
Really something for GW2 but it would be a good addition but not a priority.

Simple categories would be convienient, though I prefer Anet to implement categories for build templates first.

it would make things faster to have it accessed in the program of guild wars instead of having to go out of your way to get an organizer sounds like a clean idea to me i have 3 accounts with all of there FLz full i cant keep up with everyone just to many people i could waste my time to make a folder or something but its just not right it would be faster and easier

brought up so many times. its gonna take like 2 hours for some guy @ anet to do it. so /signed and bigger friendlist please!

meh...i think that this should not be implemented due to the fact that there are many other aspects of the game that need to be improved more than this. Besides- what happened to memory?

Increase the size of the ignore list and we got ourselves a deal.

/signed yes please.
I have too many people in my friends list and they're all good contacts.
As a guild leader or alliance leader you're going to have at least 9 other people in your friends list, just like that.

I find that friends tend to change character names and even abandon the name you know them under.
So a year down the line you get a ping from a friend under a totally different name .
They say hi and you reply and that's about it because I for one have no idea at all as to who they are where we met what we did together etc.
So please for us oldies with faulty memories please make life a little easier.

/signed - with the text option. Stored on the server side - not locally - so you can access it everywhere in case you play on more than one computer.
BTW, I'd like to have skill templates also stored server side...

hopfeully we can get more people signed on to this, it seriously would only take a little while to get this implemented into the game and I think it's a great idea
