  • A new section has been added to the friends list called “Players Near You”

          Alternatively, the Party Guide can right click on a party member’s portrait and pass them the Party Guide title
          The Party Guide will have a unique icon that will appear on the mini-map

  • Names in your “Recent Players” list will now expire if they become older than a month
  • Blocked players will no longer appear in your “Recent Players” list
