Friends bar
Friends bar
The friends bar lists all of a player's friends, including offline, online, and away players. It includes a search function, the ability to filter friends by town, alliance, and a button to add another friend, as well as a button to invite friends.
Functions
Add friend
This button allows you to send a friend request to another player.
Invite friend
This opens up the friends menu, allowing you to see friend requests sent to you by other players, invite real life friends to play The West, and see all of the rewards earned by inviting friends to the west.
Show alliance members
This button makes the friends bar show only players who are in your alliance.
Show town members
This button makes the friends bar show only players who are in your town.
Show friends
This resets the filter to its default condition, showing all of your friends.
Search current selection
This allows you to search your list of friends for players with a specific name, or part of a name, and then show only those friends in the friends bar. Clicking this button again resets the friends bar back to its default, showing all players.
Player icons
The friends bar shows the avatar of each player on your friends list.
Each player has a red, green, or grey dot in the upper left corner of their avatar picture. This indicates their online status-red for offline, green for online, grey for away(logged into the game, but not having shown activity for 5 minutes). When the mouse is hovered over an avatar, that player's class and crafting profession are shown. Clicking their avatar brings up a menu allowing you view their profile, send them a whisper, telegram them, show their location on the world map, or remove them as a friend.
The friends bar also shows your own avatar, but clicking this has no effect. Another picture, a greyed out avatar, links to the invite friends menu.
