Hey Empire, When you are looking for a friend that is online to go chat with, currently you have to either /p all of your friends to see if one of them is online or /who all of the smps to see who is online. With a friends list, you could just type /friends and it would tell you who is online and what server. This would work very similarly to the /staff command, as it would list your friend and then the server they are on. Friends could be added with /friend add (player) and removed with /friend remove (player). To view friends, you could use /friends list for a list of all your friends. Only you would be able to see your friends list, so it would not hurt anyone's feelings. This could even be turned into a supporter perk, such as regular gets 5 friends, iron gets 10, gold gets 20, and diamond gets 30. Thoughts? Improvements?
This has been suggested before and Aikar replied that I think that is a yes for your idea but it may be a while.
I really do like this idea. It would make in-server chat with friends a lot easier to do. Perhaps there could be a friends chat channel, or a command that invites all online friends to a group. Perhaps a friends /tpa (town only) would be good. There are lots of things that could be done with this.
