Title pretty much explains it all. At the moment the friend list is more or less completely useless, except for remembering your friends name, and seeing of the character still exists.

I would really like being able to see who in the tribe, and on my friend list is online. It's unnecessary to leave such a feature out in my opinion. It would help a great deal knowing people actually are online!

If this has been discussed or mentioned before, I apologize but I just wanted to get this up and hopefully implemented soon.
