Friend/Ignore Lists

As I am working on getting the right click menus for players worked out, I would like to get the friend/ignore lists working too. There currently is a character_friendlist table in the database, but I would like to make it hold both friends and ignored players. Any ideas for what it should be named to properly convey the dual purpose table?

ignore and friends are completely different lists.. so I guess you would call it player_social_list or something

How about just character_community? That's the name of the dialog, and menu option. Generic, and covers Friends, Ignore, and anything else we might dream up.

:) You caught that, huh?

Actually, Image may have a nicer name concept for the table. `character_social`. I only suggested Community, because in the client, "Social" seems to be emotes and macros. /boggle

The last suggestion again, from Images post, make 2 tables - character_friends, character_ignore. Don't worry about too many tables. We're fine :) If the functionality will read the two lists separately, it might make more sense to keep them apart so World only has to look at one or the other, instead of WHERE'ing through a single table. Up to you in that respect. Any of these table ideas work for me.
