I had to create an account with this forum to test out LoE, and while testing, I found a few friends. :D
Now, since the information in the game is already somewhat linked to the website database via the account, it should be possible to alter the database for this forum to have a friends list on it instead of just the game, then add some PHP to access the list.
That should make it so nobody loses their friends after the open server weekend. It shouldn't be too hard to implement, should it? X3
We will investigate the possability of this feature, approved.
