I think a good idea is to be reminded after 4 months is a friend hasn't logged in. This would be a good idea so you only have friends who still play and so you don't have to go searching for friends to delete to make room for more. The reminder would say:"Tireless Evan Evans hasn't logged on in 4 months. Would you like to delete he/she from your friends list?" I think this would be really helpful. Also, if you put your cursor over the person's name, it would show you there image, equipment etc. Does anybody else think this would be helpful?

I wouldnt want the feature as a mouseover, I do believe we can click on the name, and click to see their stats and information as it currently is. Mouseovers are popups that tend to cover the screen when we do not want them to. Id rather we only get the information when specifically asking for it (making the appropriate clicks).

As for an indicator of friends that have not been in for awhile, id have to say no, at least as far as having the game prompt me. If everyone played one pirate, then it might be ok, but we all can play up to 6.

I have many friends that have multiple pirates (I have 5, almost all my friends have 4-6 pirates). They do not play all their pirates all the time. I wouldnt want the system prompting me to remove friends simply because they have been playing on another pirate. I want these on my list in case they decide to play the older pirate (like when updates such as todays occur). I also dont want to have to try and figure out who it is im being asked to remove either, pirate names are a bit too generic to go solely from a name. It would be nice to have a time since last logon displayed on the character information page(s) we see after clicking to see the information.

Regarding chat. Player names in the game should have either a chat bubble with a circle/line through it, indicating Menu chat, a chat bubble indicating text chat, or no bubble at all indicating open chat, however maybe the same indicator (rather small) on the friends list would be nice for those times your talking and not in the vacinity of your friend.

I'd like to suggest a modification of the "Friend Timer" idea. Instead of the timer going off if the Pirate has not been played in 6 months, why not relate it to the account being accessed in the past 6 months (the one that originated the Pirate)? The players don't need to know the account name since this would all be handled through KI. I know if I haven't played in over 6 months on a particular account, I'm not going to remember who my friends are, where I met them, or what I was doing when I met them.

I like OFxSaint's idea for indicating which Pirates have which Chat capabilities. This is something that is definitely needed.

I agree with this topic some of my friends in wizard101 havent been on for a while
