Their number and email has to be in your contacts list, and you have to be on theirs I believe too.

I'm a little confused why I must supply my phone number...where is it stored? I care about my data if this is going to be an MMO, account names would be unique, I guess...shouldn't this be enough? I don't know how multiplayer games with the iPhone are supposed to work ^^ so my comments may be foolish.

Yes the data is stored. In order for us to hook you up with your friends we need your telephone and email address. we do contact book comparisons to see who knows who. Beyond that the data is not used. It will not be sold or spammed or any of that.

Can I recommend you make a option to use Email only? Not all of us like supplying our RL phone to Internet friends.

i believe unless your internet friends have your real phone number and email they wont be added to your friends list only people you have in your contact list and only if you are in theirs with both a phone number and email. will it add them.
i believe this above post that i made has some grammatical error but seeing as i am to lazy to fix it i don't care

Hey,
So Just to clarify.
We will check to see if anyone in your address books email or phone number is registered with us. You have to have the EXACT email or phone number but you only need one. The name displayed for who the character is owned by will be the name listed in your contact list. So if you have your girlfriend/boyfriend listed as "babe" or "honey" and only have their phone number. As long as they put their phone number in (and its the same as the one you have) you will have their character listed as owned by "babe" or "honey" in your contact list.
There are some problems with people who have numbers from multiple counties and country codes being included or not included in the telephone number when its typed in making it so people don't find each other.

Well, to fix the problem that a contact will not add to your list if the country/area code is/isn't present, why couldn't there be an option to add by email or phone number? I don't see why we need both. I'd say it should query the server for all emails, then all phone numbers present on your iPhone/iPod.
If it happens that there is a duplicate (for example a phone number and email address under the same name) then just delete the second entry. As an alternative, just halt reading a contact if a match for them has been found.

@willzyx: What you are suggesting is basically what it does. If you have your friends email it will match even if the phone number does not. chemeddy: Currently there is not a way to edit this information. Consider it a coming soon!

Once I have a friend showing up under community how do I add them to my party? Is this feature working? So far it looks like I can just view their character information and see their stats.

I read in another thread that there isn't any additional functionality yet... all you are supposed to be able to do is view their stats.

I have the same question as above...when do we get to add our friends to our lists? I'm only able to look at my buddy's stats and see how much better than him I already am instead of breaking blocks hand in hand with him.
