agreed.. I can't descide for my friends .. so I would like to see friend list on default ' hidden' too.

This is somewhat of a privacy problem. Since it's not our real names it's technically not a problem, but in Sweden a site like that would have a problem with the law unless it has a registered publisher and even then I think most companies would be a bit nervous to pulish such stuff unless both parts (e.g. you and all your friends) have agreed to share this information.
Apart from that I see the possibility of a real community being built around the game. Wouldn't mind if it eventually ended up being an information system shared between all NCSoft games where friend lists can be shared between games too. That would help find people to play the other games with and increase the odds that I'd play them too. (Guess I'd have to quit my job to get time enough, and find other means of financing the subscription) 
And did I mention I got my 410th villain badge today? Yes! It's very smurfy and shiny!

By default, your Statistics, Powers and Badges will be on, but Friends List will be off.

That's weird - all my settings were set to "hide enabled" when I checked last night...

User interface design alert
These options seem to be a bit of a double negative. Would it not have been better to have these choices as 'Show xx' rather than hide.
Now if I don't want my information to show I have to enable hide rather than disable show.

VIGILANCE Captain Caledonia 20 - Yeah, I made toons on the French server coz we only had 4 back then (might have to transfer/recreate them on one of the US servers)
..and many more!

Yes, actually that was complain #1 on the US forums. The devs are looking for a way to make it more intuitive (with Yes/No options and 'Show' instead of 'Hide') at the moment.

There watching me o_0
I am thinking people offering PL services, might get some useful information about characters, so they can be mailed in-game here?

Any news on where this info will be published yet?
Wait for I12 I'm guessing... although in all likelihood, I'd say the Official game site is a good guess.

It's going to be so awesome to have an offical badge count
Not that there's anything wrong with Badge-Hunter or CIT, but having an offical stamp is nice

It will be useful for SG too. It will be easier to get up-to-date data from members.
Many moons rised since the original post and I'm wondering if there are any - well - news on this?

Would that be a security issue where random people could figure out passwords and log in to accounts?
...or would that be a security issue where our toons need extra security guards because of all the groupies and fans gathering around them?
(as in "OMG! U got so many badgez I want to know U secret!")
Hero: Star Jewel(50)
Associates: Gemstone; Storm Lock; Star Sparkle; Dawnshade; Lunara; ...more
Enemies: Shadow Vine; Tirana Q; Forte Cadenza; Black Ion; Pursuit; ...more
Maybe they could have a secure area where the info was open to CGT, CIT etc.
Then we could still use current sites, but with server based info, rather than trying to capture it or confirm each badge/powerset manually.
Then they could use the web show/hide option to it's fullest.
(The above is my personal opinion... Remember you are allowed your own too.)

Entitled or not, I don't want third party programs having and opening that allows access to sensitive information about my account. Not saying that said third parties would do anything malicious, just saying that with the opening in place it might become easier to hack accounts.

I'm wondering where this has come from that it is being stated so factually; I've personally not seen or heard this as an official cause for the delay (of course, it may pre-date me being here: in which case, it's obsolete information). There were/are security reasons for why web feature such as this one takes time to develop, however the specific reasons for the delay that I am aware of are not related to any security concerns.

I have been quite a while and never heard this either. It is funny how people just claim things to be true.
but maybe they can provide some proof to their claims before posting misleading "information"?
OK. What's up with the Vault. Seriously. It's been almost 3 months.
Somebody, somewhere, MUST know something about it.
I would love to see this, it's a brilliant-sounding feature, but it seems we have no news on it.
I think they still haven't fixed the security issue that was causing problems with it.

I would love to see an API for those that are willing to use the data for good causes.

*points up a few posts* What security issue? Honestly, I'm not aware of any security-related concerns with City Vault.
City Vault is still being worked on. There are some not-security-related delays with the system; it's not a simple undertaking, and it won't be released until the team feels it's ready to be browsed by thousands of people.

Damned temporal anomalities. I blame Mender Silas. Messing around with the time-streams all the time. Bah, when I was young we only had a single time-stream, and that was down for maintenance every Sunday too, but did we complain? No, we were happy, even though we had little.
