How to know if a friend is online?

Post by Nylyan Aranel »

Hey everyone, I was wondering how I could know if my friends were online or not. When I go to the area with the friends list, I don't see anything that tells if they are online or offline.

There is this useful link which shows you everyone playing right now:
http://server.themanaworld.org/online.html

And then there is this useful page which can be used to create online icons for any character (like the one in my signature):
http://tmw.cestovkapohoda.cz/
You could create a html page with buttons for all of your friends and use it as a makeshift online list. You don't even have to upload the page somewhere. Loading it from local should be sufficient.

  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.

You could also look for Qoal's client which has the online list built in as a button.

Seems, that the button isn't working for me. A inbuild list would be better.

like feline monstrosity was saying: whisper them. if they are offline, you will get a message saying so. if they are online, the whisper will go through.
