what about contact list?ie, you only got a message from someone once... said message expired since, does it get dropped from contact list? (obviously the person is not of same realm/religion/guild/etc)
The contacts list is not intended to be a perpetual list of everyone you have ever corresponded with since the beginning of time. The auto-expire feature for contacts in the contact list was just never written. There will eventually be a mechanic for removing unused contacts after an unspecified period of time.
A shame, I wouldn't mind it being perpetual.
