What is the "Players" list?

[Edward Edgemenace]

Within a week of them doubling the size of the friends list, mine was full again. Every pirate I help, wants to be friends with The Edward. So far, the DxD list has been a excellent way to cut down on my friends list size, by keeping only pirates I routinely play with, on the DxD list.

Logging in with a linked account pirate, has all my logged-in DxD friends appear in yellow on my regular friends list. From what I understand of it, other Disney games will also show these same people as friends in other games.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all on TEST. So keeping a separate list on a piece of paper here, remains the only way for me to keep track of when I last saw someone.

I'm not sure Zepper's concern for privacy, is any issue for me. People that annoy me, don't stay on my friends list, let alone my DxD list. But having the ability to communicate when I'm on another pirate, is a wonderful convenience. That convenience far outweighs the "quiet-time" concern.

Really you don't have a secret pirate anyways, if its on the same account. To have secret pirates you need a different account. DXD always had the option to look up other pirates, once there all pirates of that player can be looked at.

So its just a matter of if anyone bothered to go to that extent to look.

It's not a question of whether they know if you have a pirate, its a question of whether they know you are online or not. For example, most of my friends know I have 3 pirates but none of them are friends with my newest pirate. So when I'm online with my newest pirate my friends don't know that I'm online. Some of us like to have a pirate with which we can just play the game and not worry about social interaction.

Inasmuch as the players list enhances the social aspects of the game, it seems like a very good thing for most people. To achieve the privacy you say you seek, you need to use a separate un-linked account. As Poison Elf pointed out, your other pirates (and linked pirates) are not private; they can still be accessed on the DxD website.

But then, the social aspect of the game is one of its finer selling points. If you really need to be alone much of the time, don't use the players list. For my pirates, it is a wonderful feature.
