well, I added a friend to my friend list. She told me she had to get off the game for a minute, and i said ok. But when she got offline, it automatically deleted her from my friends list! Please KI, fix this! I dont want my new friends being deleted! :(
Open up your Friends Panel. Click the little red arrows at the top to the left and right.
You will cycle through three windows: Online Friends (which is the default) Ignored All Friends
The reason your friend seemed to disappear from your friends panel is she only disappeared from your Online Friends - she's still there under All Friends.
When she comes back online, she'll re-appear as an Online Friend.
If you want the prize, you have to build the ladder rung by rung. There are no shortcuts.
Maybe she deleted you right before she logged off. This has happened plenty of times to my wizards... people try not to hurt you when they delete you off their list.
