What would the perks or reasoning be behind it? People can basically achieve this by creating a coop or doing /trust on your island, at least that's how I view it. Maybe if you could create a chat channel with only your friends group, that would be different, like a party chat of some sort.
I believe I have seen a suggestion similar to this one. We still have the ability of private messages without the /friends ability. I know on other servers that the /friend command gives you just the ability to private messages people on your /friend list. Though considering that there are already private messages I am not sure that this is necessary. Everyone has their own ways of doing things. I know that in my case, if I just want to chat with my friends, I start a conversation on skype. So for now, no support.
Sold. Yeah that would be great. There would also be alerts of them coming online and offline. Also you can maybe see when they were last online seen as /seen is broken. not everyone has skype
yes, and like I said, everyone has their own means of communicating, not necessarily skype. you can still private message anybody. However I do see that it would help if there was an ability to show that they are online. For example say you are my friend, chat would say: Accomplishes joined. so that much would come in handy I suppose.
This is not modern day slavery lmao where you can buy people and make them live with you. Just use fourms, /list, /seen, or /trust. Or use some outside communication like Insta, snapchat, twitter, texting, etc.
No thx. People will add too much friends, then there will be more spammy suggestions asking for /friend removeall or stuff like that
Some people become "friends" with others just to gain things from them Remember the internet isnt a nice place
I'm not sure about that one. I don't exactly disagree with you, yet I don't agree at the same time. I play on another server that has /friends and all those commands, and it has never bothered me personally. Yet at the same time, to others it may be an annoyance. What are you saying there? no color? no timbs? what do you mean by that?
So basically a /chat private or /chat friends. Kind of like .org It would be way to hard to do this, as what if someone had multiple friends, and others didnt have the same friends. so when you talk on the friend channel, you would only see what one person is saying, and if they replied to someone who you aren't friends with, you would be extremly confused. Nuetral. I Like the idea, but i see it to be wayy to hard to implement.
