Add friends not from Facebook

Turns out some people I know are already playing glitch, but we don't use Facebook. I'd like to be able to add friends by username.

  • If you can get them to say something in global chat, then you can click on their name and add them that way. Or tell each other to meet somewhere in-game at such and such time.

  • I find the friend system really awkward. I wanted to send someone a prezzie who was not on my friends list only to find out I couldn't. I don't understand why you have to meet someone physically in the game to add them as a friend, either. I don't know if there are any / commands, but I tried some and they didn't work. /friend someone'sname would be nice.

  • You don't have to meet someone in game physically to add them. If one of you speaks in a place like a group chat or global chat, then the other person can click on their name in the chat and add them from there.

    Edit: I just made a group for the purpose of people finding each other. Find Your Friend
    One of can join and the other person can look for you there whenever they are online; you don't have to be online at all. (I have no idea how many people will find this useful, but I hope it helps!)

  • @Millie: Yeah, but they have to speak to you to click on their name. What happens when I'm at home and I remember someone's name and I want to send them a letter? I'm SOL.

  • I support this idea. It was a bit annoying to wait for my friend to speak in Global Chat before i could add her when she started playing. Would have been much easier for me to type in her name and send her an IM and welcome mail.

    Also to be able to *block* people by name.

  • If they post to the forums, or in a group like Millie created, you can add them by clicking on their name to pull up their profile and then add them that way (there is an add buddy button).  You can also go to a friend's list of friends and if they are on it, click on their Avi picture to get their profile page to come up and add them that way as well. (you can also block people from their profile page).

    Yes, there does need to be a better way to search on players to pull up their profile pages, and we've been asking for that for a while.
