Moving back to Open. No current plans to implement.

It would be nice if they added a pop up when a friend joins/leaves your world your in.

It would be nice, but for the love of god, add an invisible mode too. If it's annoying enough to get people following you as soon as you log in it would be a nightmare combined with notifications that you can't control.

Steam has something like this, where we can turn on a notification that tells me when a friend comes online. It can be set on a per-friend basis.
We can already sort of do this by favoriting someone and just constantly checking our friend list, so why not automate this and save anyone who may have the OCD to constantly check their friend list.
It may be worthwhile to consider a "Friend Now-Joinable" Notification that plays a small noise when the friend moves to a joinable instance, incase they finally jumped out of that busy-status private world after half a day.

It'd be cool if you could choose to be notified about just your favorite friends.

Eiko™️: Yeah, I assume for many people if it was for all friends it would be this constant stream of notifications for people logging-on, or re-logging on.

I vote "yes" because it's interesting to know when someone pops on. Granted, as mentioned, there's flaws when testing stuff that I'll agree with filters and such. It should be auto-checked off for you to then check "on" because you know best on how they behave, or should. You friended them after all.

As long as a user can choose if they show up on that, I like the idea. Maybe only if they're blue status? or a checkbox next to the usual status chooser to indicate if you want to announce. Though this could be a problem since it would announce on join. If I want to hop on and not spam everyone about being online it'd be nice to have some way to do that even if I was last logged in publicly.
Perhaps something on the initial loading screen for controlling status stuff? But this would be another feature entirely I guess.

In this case we need additional checkbox for our friends if they don’t want to inform anyone about entering the game. Sometimes when I test new avatar I have to enter and exit the game several times per minute. If my friends will receive notification every time I enter they will go crazy.

John Smith: oh yes i agree, we should have the option for that as well!

John Smith: Simply a checkbox: [ x ] Don't inform others if you're online.
And another checkbox to inform you if your (favorite) friend comes online:
[ x ] inform me if friend is online
And it will place small icon in friend picture to show you it's enabled.
