with pleasure, we can finally share with you another update for our profile item on the main lobby today!

For two years now, you have been able to mark certain friends in your friend list as your favorites. Regardless of the friends settings you have made, this feature has made it possible for favorites to send you private messages or to jump to you.

Your overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding this feature is extremely encouraging and once again confirms that we are doing a good job. Following on from this, we would like to take your wide-ranging feedback to heart with today's update, and finally implement your fantastic suggestions:

With today's update, you have – by popular demand of the community – the possibility to set individual permissions for your favorites yourself. This means that the permissions for favorites are no longer predefined by us, but can be set individually by you.

 •  receive private messages from them (/msg)

 •  to let them view your replay list

 •  the display of online and offline messages

 •  to jump to you

 •  view your own online status

With the help of the brand-new command “/friend favorite <player>”, the marking of a friend as a favorite can now also be changed via chat. 

Further adjustments have been made to the "/friend" help command. The command explanations for managing your friends have now been divided into three pages and thus now offer you a better overview of all available commands of our friend system. The respective pages can be reached via the commands "/friend", "/friend 2" and "/friend 3".

More user-friendly descriptions of the commands, as well as a new command to clean up your friends list, will now also help you to manage and clean up your friends list more easily.

Last but not least we would like to thank Laubfrosch7, who did the conceptual design of the update in his usual excellent quality, and 4zig, who brought this beautiful and distinctive design to life. Of course, a special thanks also goes to our new developer Kaooot, who has implemented the update with impressive passion and will hopefully develop even more of such fantastic concepts from now on.
