I just logged in, went to check if any of my friends/global friends are online and "There are no friends in your list."

Did a quick /search and recognised someone I know is a global friends, their global friend list was there one minute and gone a few minutes later!

Please tell us this is a known and most importantly *temporary* bug!

Global friends list run on a separate server. If it goes down then your global list vanishes. Same is true with email and the market, they run on separate servers from the main game world.

Thanks, I did a search and saw a 2006 thread saying that but I couldn't see if that meant it was a temporary glitch or if something needed to be done to recover the lists.

My lists have come back on their own now though so it seems temporary, yay!
