Buddy Server

Au_Courant

Strangely, for the past...5-6 months the Buddy Server on my end has been different from EVERYONE I know. I know all of this runs on the same server as everyone else, but why am I experiencing the issue and no one else?

   • I appear online to users who have me added on their 'Friends List', but they appear offline on my 'Friends List'
   • I can reply to whispers from people NOT on my 'Friends List', but CANNOT reply to the whispers sent to me from the people offline on my Friends List, even though they're REALLY ON
   • A couple of my friends on my 'Friends List' show 1 Party listed; It shows that I have them added, but I'm not added on their end...but I am on their 'Friends List'
   • ALL my 'Friends' don't appear offline; It still shows a couple, but every day a new person is shown offline when they're online.

I've tried re-adding people and I've tried being patient, but nothing has seemed to work. It's apparent it's not a mass server issue, as people are able to contact me and view me online. I've even went as far as creating false accounts and logged them on my desktop's and laptop's to see if this issue was major. All of the names were able to view my default IGN online, but I was unable to view them online EVEN AFTER I ADDED THEM, they appeared offline and we were at the same table.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it 100% a SERVER ISSUE, or could there be an issue on my end? Anyone have any input....?

If ANYONE is experiencing a similar issue, I've found a method that has worked;

When in the Same Room Lobby, or Channel Lobby delete the user from your 'Friends List', and have the person delete you as well. Than re-add. It may be a blip in the server. But it fixes things...
