Global Friends list is empty?

Just logged on tonight and none of the people in my global friends list are listed. Don't see any other threads, so I thought I would post and see if I'm the only one.

On Virtue, if that matters.

This happens very rarely, but it's not permanent. I'm guessing there's a separate server that runs channels/globals (since they are cross-server) and it's having issues or something. Incidentally, when this happened before I couldn't zone into any missions either. I am sure it will be fixed soon, but you will just have to wait it out.

I have the same issue, just FYI, also on Virtue.

Thanks for the tip, Levares! I guess I'll just hang in there, might be a chance to make new friends!!

Same issue here on virtue as well.

And here I was thinking that all of my friends simultaneously hated and deleted me at the same time.

Chat chans are also dropping intermittently, and we're getting the character replacement glitch again, as well.

Late last night/early this morning the global channels and global friends started going down. It seems that the server was just starting to fail. At one point all my global channels looked like someone changed all the names to leet

There is a separate server cluster for global chat channels, if I remember right.

That's why you get a situation where you can play the game, but cant' see any global chat channels or send people tells based on their global name, or see your global friends list.

They've been promising to upgrade the global chat server for a while now, and perhaps they actually have. I have noticed, lately, the global chat server doesn't spontaneously disconnect people nearly as often as it used to.

However, it is still not up to par with the rest of the service, IMO.

Your global friends list is still stored on the global chat server, and will be restored when it comes back up.

That is correct. The chat server is separate from the game servers. That's how you can play but have global chat out of commission. The consignment house is also on a separate server.
