friends are people that you deal with on the regular. (like you're always messaging each other, you purchase/trade with them a lot, etc. ya know Friends. ^^ i use it to keep track of people i Always want to give gifts to during those times when we can.)
and foes are people you don't want to see or hear from. (basically it's your list of blocked/black listed users.)
hope that helps. ^_^

[edits to add] i should probably also mention that the people on either list are not told that they are. so people on your friends list might Hope they are but won't know for sure unless you tell them. and the same goes for the people on the foes list. so nobody will know if you're lurking in the shadows or if you're ghosting them. (joking, of course. i will neither condone or condemn lurkers or ghosties. ;) )
Ah! That’s very helpful! I wasn’t sure if I ought to see friend requests (or the opposite..?), or if it was one sided. Thank you!
nope, no requests or whatever needed. you just put whomever you want wherever and nobody's the wiser.
glad i could be of use and made sense. ^_^;;
<3 Thank you! <3

Hi! I'm recently new, and I'm wondering how I'm supposed to "sell" or trade art for stuff on site. I'm an artist, so I'm not really sure how I should price work or how any of this would work. If someone could help me out that would be great :)

I might as well give an example of some art I'm working on,

i could be mistaken but i Think you would go over to the Hall of Arts forum, under the sub-forum of the Seller's Gallery. at the main forum for the arts, they'll be better at helping you out with the stuff like pricing and that. i'm not sure that they can give you much info here in the FAQs with out cluttering up the thread beyond that.
i hope that was the right answer and that it helped.
<3 Thank you! <3

I have a question!

I was looking at Master Belmos' keep. His "Main" tab is full of frozen eggs. Are those for sale? Can Master Belmos unfreeze them for you? I'm interested in one of the eggs but I want to be able to grow it!

Thanks <3

When people get an egg they don't want, they can freeze it and send it to Master Belmos. He then stores the frozen eggs with NurseryHelper, the eggs you see in his Main tab are waiting to be sent to NurseryHelper. Every now and then he unfreezes a bunch of them and sells the creatures.

So no, the frozen eggs aren't for sale yet and won't be unfrozen yet. But you can probably find the creature you want in one of his tabs.

He has a sale thread in Waynal for stream and quest creatures. If you want to buy something else, you can just send him a PM with your request ^_^ His prices are listed in his profile.

I have a couple more question!

In order to become friends, do you have to accept a friend request somehow, or does each account just add the other as a friend? Can you be non-mutual friends with someone?

Also, if you send a message and it says it's in your outbox, does that mean it hasn't actually sent yet like in email? If so, what do I do about that?

Thanks again! <3

The friends thing is a one way thing. Sort of like, keeping a list. You just, go here- https://magistream.com/ucp.php?i=168 put in a username in the 'add friends' box and hit submit and that's it. The other person, as far as I'm aware is not notified of this nor do they have to do anything (same with Foes).

Outbox means it's been sent but that the recipient has not yet opened and read the mail yet. All you can really do is wait.
