Wouldn't it be easy if you go online and can see which one of your friends are there so you could schedule a game with them? Or if you could go online and ask everyone in the Quake 4 room if they're up for a cut-throat match?

The Ziyro Buddy-List addon allows you to do just that. With this addon, you can:

• Make friends: You can make a list of friends or people you like to play frequently with. This way, whenever both of you are online, you'll both know and be able to schedule a game.
• See whats up with your buddies: The system allows you to view who is online, what game are they in, whats their current rank (or team rank).
• Chatrooms: Administrator can create game specific and tournament specific rooms where players can come, talk about the event or the game, make new friends and invite each other for games.
• Admin control: The administrator can create and close chatrooms, ban players and make policies on language usage.
