With the implementation of SOE chat, the database used to store your buddy and ignore list information will be changing. Due to this, you'll need to import your old lists when you log on after the update.
Also because we're moving over to the SOE chat system, players won't "appear" until they've logged on after the update.
To import your buddy and ignore lists:
- Log on to MxO after the update
- Type /importcontacts on the command line and press Enter
The system will add players who have already logged on to your buddy and ignore lists. If you find your list is incomplete, wait a while and use the /importcontacts command again. Please note: The /importcontacts command refreshes your list from the old database. If you delete players from your buddy or ignore list and use the /importcontacts command again, those players will be added back onto your list. Try to refrain from making any deletions to your buddy and ignore lists until you're imported list is complete.
This information can also be found in the patch notes on the launcher after the update and on Data Node One in the Update 35 notes.
