I thought about this while playing. I am not sure if this is where to post this suggestion but here goes. Let me know if it belongs somewhere else.

I have a few suggestions for additional/expanded fields for the Utility area of the Interface.

Under the "Friends" tab:

1. Expand the Notes field. This way players can add more detail about their friends' character(s). This helps when are trying to remember what profession they are or what they specialize in or where you met them (eg. an event, quest, etc).

A subset of this would be a couple or more Profession fields attached to your friends' record(s).

2. Add a Faction Field. This way you can filter all the friends you have that are Rebel, Imperial or Unfactioned.

3. Add a Time Zone Field (inluding a time conversion to your local time). This is important since this is a Global Game and you can have an idea of when your friend(s) are likely to be on.

Good idea! I wish we can organize our friends list just like AIM's buddy list =)

The Emperor: Live Lord Vader. Live, my apprentice. Live...
Amidala: There is still good in him...

Thanks. I just hope this is read by the right people. I know it would help us trackother players better.


In addition, during those times when you are trying to organize events at specific times of the day,being able to sort throughyour mile-long list of friends and knowing what Time Zones they are in could be a big help...among other things. Thanks for the supportive words.
