I think that Mojang stated that they were considering adding friend list, and making servers easier to join by just turning your SSP world into a SMP world and vice versa by a click of a button. I personally want a friend list feature added, it world be pretty epic.
I'm okay with the suggestion of friend lists, however, I really don't want them to introduce a function where you can see when people are online just because they're playing the game because... Well, I'm not a social gamer and I don't want people to see when I'm playing or being able to message me. That is quite a bother when I play games like Sc2 because I usually want to play alone and I don't want to be messaged by people all the time. I play games a lot because I want some piece and quiet by myself, not to have to interract with other people at yet ANOTHER place as well.
And as far as I know, there's quite a lot of people who play Minecraft who are the same as me in this regard.
So, friend lists - Sure! But no online function because that have ruined so many other games for me
You know you could always just turn notification off when you play... Well at least on PS3 you can.
I don't play Ps3. I'm a PC-gamer. But yes, you can turn notifications off when you play Starcraft 2 as well, however, people can still see that you're online and I don't like that at all. I want the possibility of being completely private when I'm sitting at home in private in front of my computer. I don't like being forced to be so public about everything I do all the time. I want the choice to remain unseen and private.
Perhaps some people don't mind that other's can see what they're doing all the time, but I mind it. A function like this would actually ruin the game completely for me and I wouldn't be able to play it as much because I want to be alone and unseen sometimes, especially when I play games.
Of course Mojang could make it to where you appear offline to your pears, just like Skype has an "invisible" mode.
also they should make it so you and your friend could easily play together on a server
post your idea if it would a good thing to add? i know they would have to make it so you have a mojang account instead of a Minecraft account ?

May I ask why you prefer being isolated when you play?
