### Friends List

You can use the Friends Lists to keep track of your online buddies, and you can have up to 255 users on it at any given time. Online friends are sorted to the top of the list. Offline friends are displayed as disabled text and sorted to the bottom. Friends that are currently in a game will have the In Game Icon displayed next to their name.

There are 4 buttons at the bottom of the friends list: Add (add a friend), Del (delete a friend), > (locate a friend), and >> (locate all friends).

#### Detecting Friends

Detecting your friends depends on whether they are on your Lobby server or on a different Lobby server. Friends that join, leave, or enter games on your server will have their statuses in the Friends List updated automatically. Friends on other servers will not. You can check the status of friends on other servers at any time by selecting the Refresh (>>) button at the bottom of the Friends List.
