Over the past week I have consistantly had problems with my friends being online, and even sending messages to me, but my friends list still shows them as offline. It has happened multiple times, and I didnt see another thread mentioning it.

So its either A) a problem with PvP.net and I can provide any additional information if you are looking into the problem or
B) its a problem on my end and I was wondering if anybody could help me fix it.

Thanks

same here

I have done the same, but its not a very good long term solution. I did have one friend who I had to remove from my friends list and re-add to get him to show up as online, but this may have been a different issue entirely.

I dont have a lot of friends in the game, and most of them I usually talk to before hand and plan to meet up in game / use vent. So this isn't a huge problem for me, but I can imagine the headache somebody would have if they have a large friend list and their main communication with them is in game.
