Global Chat Friends

The Global Chat window is your friends list for Global Chat. The title says how many friends you have. Each row shows a friend's name, with the word "online" in green beside the friends who are online.

Friends who are online come first, and the rest follow in order of name. Two buttons stand at the foot. Add Friend adds someone, and the second button shows whether you are Online or Offline yourself.

Global Chat Friends, roster — The window with nine friends, four of them online. The online friends stand first with a green "online" beside each name, and the others follow in order of name. The list scrolls, so the last rows are below the edge.

Opening it

The Friends action, in the Menu Actions group of the Actions window, opens the window and closes it again. You can put the action on a hotbar.
The Friends entry in the chat menu opens it too. The chat menu opens from the button on the chat line, and from Shift+right-click on the chat.
The window closes when you open it again from either, and a right-click anywhere on the window closes it.
