We should be able to have a new search command in Spiral knights. It is a command where you can search for someone in the same Haven. So let's say that I'm friends with Artistbma. I lost the place where he is. I would type "/search Artistbma and a circle will flash to tell me that he is there. Then it will be much easier and it will flash for a minute. You are the only one that can see the flash that you did.
I know that there are other ways, but instead of teleporting from haven back to haven, we can just put the search command. Even with tell, if you just want to see them, you can just search for them.
My second search suggestion is to be able to tell which part of Haven your friend is in. Say that you just joined him. He is gone, already. So, if I can't find him in Haven, I can go to the Social network and go to his name. It will show me which part of Haven he moved to. So it would say:
Haven 1 - Arcade
If they are in the Haven with the Auction house, it will only say "Haven 1" because that is the main Haven. Also, you can instantly join them if you are away from each other. If I'm in Haven 1 and the other is in the Arcade, I can join him as long as it says the different area.
Any opinions about this suggestion?
Or give friends a different minimap icon...
