    Default Friends in "Limbo"

    Ok so to explain the headline, Whenever someone rmks a game and he's in my friendlist i go into friendliest as soon as boss is dead and look for him on friends list. A soon as he leaves the game he is shown as offline and then as online agin witch moves the friend below his name up and down again causing me to sometimes join the wrong game or message the wrong person.
    Isn't it possible to sill show them as online while they are trying to host or just on map. This would decrease the wrong messages and joins and wouldn't it help lower server usage because u need to update the friendliest less frequently? Just an suggestion, i can still play the game like this, but would love to see this changed.

    This issue of "Jumping list" has been around forever and I totally agree that it can get uber annoying a few things you can do till they fix this (if they can?) Is:
    -when joining games over and over use the world map and type the players name who is hosting into "game name" section
    -for joining or messaging try using guild list (if they are in same guild) I've noticed that jumps a lot less
    -when sending messages use the /tell or /r if replying

    Hope that helps

    If you join them from the 'join game' screen (filter on their name) there are no jumping names.

    LOL! I'm passing out any minute now. That's why I'm so slow I guess.

    1st Problem with join screen is, that i have to refresh every couple seconds to make sure i make it into that party and joining is just faster via friend list.
    2nd I know that its possible to write messages like that, but it's less convenient in my taste in comparison with the user interface of the friends list,

    I hate the jumping lists. Sometimes I get an invite and accidentally join the wrong game because the join button moves. By the time I back out and join the right game, it's full so i get kicked back to town. * SO ANNOYING *
