Build your friends list
How do I use my friends list?

- You want to have friends who can answer some of your questions
- Click the people button: 2 heads side by side.
- Click the Friends tab to open friends list.
- The first tab will show friends online.
- The second tab will show all friends.
- To find a specific friend, type the first part of the name into the top bar.
- To send an IM, double-click the name.
- Remember, you can drag things from your inventory into the IM bar.
- That will send a copy to the friend.
- For more options, right click the name and read the menu.
Build your friends list from people you meet

Make friends with people in IM
