#### friends list

I was curious about how the friends list is decided by default. On your profile page, there are 10 friends whose avatars and names are displayed by default, under which a "show all" option is available. Is this/will this be customizable?

- I'm pretty sure they appear in the order you made them friends, but it would be nice to re-order them at some point in the future...

- Yup, friends are currently listed in the order you added them as a friend. Categorization (as opposed to custom sort orders) of contacts is something we intend to do someday.

- As I've been accepting loads of friends requests, I've been wondering if there is a limit to the number of friends we can have (like there was in FS...) Also, will people that stop playing after a very long period of time get their accounts deleted and be removed from our friends lists?

- As yet I don't have a problem as I don't race around adding people willy nilly, so my friend list consists of my friends & people I have met in the game. I really wish that I didnt show on other peoples profiles as their 'buddy' when they haven't contacted me in any way. Nothing on the forum, nothing in game and no I will not be adding them as a friend...I find it rude!

- I figure we're all one big happy alpha family right now, so I don't mind accepting any friend requests that come my way at the moment. That will definitely change when we go live.

- @Teena , I have made threads about this and totally agree. Just because I have a common link in loving Glitch, I like to look my friends in the eye. I would rather have six friends on my list of people I have made contact with than 50 made up friends :) Saying that I love to make new buddies all the time, I just like to have had first contact, whether forum or in game. ;)

- I've pretty much friended anyone who came over with me from Faunasphere, whether I know them or not, because we did share a common history, similar game experiences and "ethics" (kinda, not sure right word). If it's someone totally new to me from Glitch...I like to meet them in the game or through these forums. You can tell a lot and learn a lot by people's posts...
  Would love to be able to organize by alpha order and/or by groups we belong to. Be interesting to see what they come up with. But right now, I'm happy they're mainly working on making the game awesome and not worrying about stuff like that.

- Bump for friend lists. I will only add someone I know in real life as a friend for example on Xbox Live simply because I am not given a method of having separate groups or notifications. I really dont care to see notifications about online acquaintances, but always want to see when real friends are online. Friend groups please!

- I add anyone who I've had some interaction with, but those I feel "closer" to I tend to treat very well in the game.
