Controls - Friends

In RuneScape, having friends can come in handy. It's no wonder: making friends from all over the world is fun and exciting. To help you manage your friends, you have been given a friends list and an ignore list.

Click on the green 'thumbs-up' icon in the control panel to access your friends list.

The friends list allows you to keep in contact with the friends you make in RuneScape. Note that this also tells you which world you are in, making it easier to arrange meeting your friends in-game.

To add a friend to your list, click on the button marked "Add Friend", and type in the name of the person you want to add. You can also add a friend by right-clicking their name in the chat window and selecting the appropriate option.

After you have added a person to your friends list you will be informed whenever your friend logs in or out of RuneScape (unless their privacy settings block this - see below). Players on your list who are currently playing on the same world as you are shown in green, people who are playing but on a different world from yourself are shown in yellow, and players who are not currently playing are shown in red.

You can also send a private message to a person on your list who is playing. Just click on the player's name and type in the message you want to send. To remove someone from the list, click on the "Del Friend" button and type in the name of the person that you want to remove.


Click on the red 'halt' icon in the control panel to access your ignore list.

If there is a particular player who you do not wish to receive messages from, put their name on this list.

To do this, click on the button at the bottom marked 'Add Name' and enter the name of the person that you wish to block.

You can also add players to your ignore list by right-clicking their name in the chat window and selecting the appropriate option.

To remove someone from the list, click on the "Del Name" button and type in the name of the person that you want to remove.
