Friend List

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

You can add anyone with a POL account to your friends list.

On the menu screen during Final Fantasy XI you can access the friends list and use it to see who is online, read/send messages or change your online status from "online", "away" or "invisible".

During FFXI you can add someone to your friend list by typing the command:

/befriend NAME

For example if you wanted to add a player named Drow you would type:

/befriend Drow

You can also send messages and see who is online through POL.

Sending a messaged is generally used instead of having to log in or out of Final Fantasy XI to speak with someone else.

• Note: Even if someone is not paying for a FFXI account but has POL installed they can send messages.
