DS Online games - how do friends work exactly?

[G@vnor]

I have been having quite a bit of bother with this Friends business on Animal crossing and Mario kart.

everyone I register sits in this "unverified" state and it gives a message with effect that they have not registered me.

My question, to those in the know is:

Do both parties have to manually add each other to their DS? or if I add, for example warren alexander (not that I would as he is a corporate pig dog) - does he get notification? Or does he have to add me manually too?

I've been looking at the dvdf gamer tag site and added a few people, but do I have to tell each one to register me too?

Im repeating myself now, so maybe its time to post!

You've got it, if you add someone then they have to add you on their friends list. There's no notification system or automatic additions. It's a bit more complicated than Xbox Live unfortunately. However, it's worth the effort. Met some great people through Animal Crossing already. :)

Thanks man, bit of a bummer though, I saw here that people are posting "DONT POST FRIEND CODES HERE" use the dvdfgametags site. But if you both need to know to add each other, it kind of makes that site a bit useless, for me anyway.

Cheers for the advice! :thumbs:
