<p>I have this information in a /petition but I am not getting any real help from the GM's.</p><p>The issue I am having is on two of my characters that have betrayed. One is on PVP server the other is on a regular server.</p><p>Here is my problem. I had a friend on my list on the evil side. We both betrayed at the same time, we both became Qeynos citizens at the same time. Some short time after betrayal, the friends lists got wiped out due to some server problem... (notes other posts regarding missing friends lists)</p><p>The friends lists were restored server side within a day or so, however this one particular friend never showed back up on my friends list.  When I try to add the friend (either by clicking the person, /friend_add command or adding in the community box... I get a message that says "Cannot add: already a friend"  when I try to remove that person from my list via the /friend_remove command it says remove failed: not a friend.</p><p>Per the GM responses to my petition.... I have deleted all character files from my computer related to my damaged character... wiped out the cashe on my computer, done a full file scan upon login. did a /load_uisettings from a character that was not affected. None of this is working. I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by the whole thing.</p><p>I keep getting rehashed messages about clearing my UI settings when I have tried this multiple times to no avail. My thoughts on the matter are that the "Friends" lists are not on my computer and NOT associated with the UI files because the lists remain intact when I switch to a different computer with NO ui settings for that character. All friends follow me to the new locations, and the missing friend problem exists no matter where I log in.</p><p>Is there anyone out there having a similar problem, or ANYONE at all from SoE side that can give me a real answer to my problem rather than telling me to clear my UI settings... again?</p><p>Thanks, Cynith</p>

<p>Found this on another post... located at <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=43619" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...?topic_id=43619</a> can someone confirm?</p><p> Fringe wrote: </p><blockquote> <p>EDIT:<span style="color: #cc0000"><b><i> a dev response from way back states that the actual friends list is saved server-side.</i></b> </span>Unfortunately there's nothing that we can do except to re-enter the names ingame.</p><p>Message Edited by FloridaFringe on 12-01-2006 06:50 AM</p></blockquote><p>EDIT POST:</p><p>Solved... After MUCH digging on the forums and another very long winded, ask me for everything but the kitchen sink to solve my problem reply I recieved from my petition...   I found the fix to my problem on my own.</p><p>I will explain briefly in case anyone else is having the same problems with this example:</p><p>I have a friend who plays on two different servers with the same name so in my friends list I have both of his characters listed.</p><p>Runnyeye.Samplename (off server) Samplename (my server)</p><p>When the friends lists crashed awhile back my friend on my current server disappeared from my list and I could not add or delete him.</p><p>While scouring through the posts in the forums ,I came across someone who had old names from a beta server who had the same issue. She started deleting Beta.Name and found by accident that she was then able to add her old friend back to her list. I decided to test this theroy across servers and deleted Runnyeye.Samplename from my friends list.... Low and behold.... Samplename could now be added to my friends list. I also re added Runnyeye.Samplename with no problems. Welcome back my friend!!</p>
