What it is
The social layer of ESVA: friend list, global chat, guild chat, direct message. It exists to line up a hunt, a trade or a time slot inside the game.
How I do it
Everything opens at the Post.
- Open the listIn Friends, the list marks who is connected.in gamePost → Friends
- AddSearch the exact account name and send the request. Without the other side accepting, nothing is added.
- Pick the channelGlobal speaks to the whole server. Guild only shows for members of one.in gamePost → Chat
- Send a directClick the name, in the list or in chat, and open the thread. A direct reaches one person only.
What I get — and what it costs
What I get
Saved contactA name kept in the list, with connection state and an open direct thread.The other side must accept. A pending request grants nothing.
What it costs
Global is publicWhat you write in global stays visible to the whole server, including people you do not know.Never type credentials in chatNo one from support asks for a password, code or access data by chat or direct message. Such a request is fraud.
