Buddy List: Acquaintances
Acquaintances would operate on similar lines as a buddy does with the exception that you cannot see their location. You can however see that they are online or offline. They could work alongside the current buddy system.

On the surface it seems ok but exceedingly low priority. So long as it couldn't be used as an end run around the removal of the active players list.
A two tier buddy list would be nice or a way to turn off the location information in the current list.
You could just make location an option instead of a separate list.

How about if "buddies" actually meant "buddies" and people didn't try to buddy the entire universe in an attempt to replace the APL through the back door
+ a lot JJDane!
The only people on my list are folks I actually have common interests with, similar philosophies, comparable ideologies and such... you know, "buddies".

I can be friends with people and willing to let them know I'm online without wanting them to know where I am, JJDane. Knowing where people are breaks various activities - hide and seek, for example.
I currently have no buddies on my list, so you can't just brush me off as some carebear freak like you can with most of the playerbase.

Fair enough, Pizzasgood, it's just that I've seen it happen the other way ,which is why I'm pretty selective with what I accept..
i guess JJDane and RR missed the main point.
The OP is about having another category of contacts, like customers or vendors, that you are not a friend but want to keep some degree of relation.
Usefull even for PvP, since you will be able to know who probably will want to duel in B8...
So, one should be selective with buddies, but able to "ressurect APL" by keeping a 'safe' list of online "Acquaintances".

Keep your friends close.... and your enemies closer.

- Buddies can now be optionally notified of your location. Click the checkbox next to their name in your Buddies list to toggle the notification. A checked box means your buddy is notified of your current location. An unchecked box lets your buddy be only notified of your login status (Logged In/Not Logged In).
(Not the requested way, but even better!)
