Friends

Track other players and see when they’re online.

Command	Description
`friend add <player>`	Add a player to your friends list
`friend remove <player>`	Remove a player from your friends list
`friend list`	Show friends with online/offline status
`friends`	Shortcut for `friend list`

Friends lists are stored per-player-name in the world. Online status checks all active sessions.

Blocking

Hide unwanted players from your experience.

Command	Description
`block <player>`	Block a player
`unblock <player>`	Remove a block

What blocking does

Chat: Messages from blocked players are not delivered to you. They won’t know they’re blocked — their messages just don’t reach you.
Mail: Blocked players cannot send you mail. They receive a generic “not accepting your messages” error.

Blocking is one-directional. If you block someone, you stop seeing their chat and they can’t mail you, but they can still see yours unless they also block you.

Player Reports

Report disruptive players for admin review.

Command	Description
`report <player> <reason>`	File a report against a player

Reports are queued for admin review. The world owner receives a [REPORT] mail notification when a report is filed.

Admin commands

Command	Description
`admin-reports`	List all open reports
`admin-dismiss <id>`	Dismiss a report
`admin-acted <id>`	Mark a report as acted upon
`admin-ban <player>`	Ban a player (existing command)

Reports track: reporter name, target name, reason, room where filed, timestamp, and status (open/dismissed/acted).

Mail

Send messages to other players, delivered even when they’re offline.

Command	Description
`mail`	Read your inbox
`mail <player> <message>`	Send a message
`mail-delete <id>`	Delete a message

Mailboxes hold up to 50 messages. Oldest read messages are pruned first when the cap is reached. Unread message count is shown on login.

Guests must reach level 5 before they can send mail.
