Friend Not Visible
Your friend may be on a different map. Have you tried joining up in a party?
Thanks I will try this if it happens again, but just for your info the computers are in the same room so I was able to look and verify we were at the same waypoint and we both logged to the character select to verify we were on the same server, not saying to make anyone incorrect just saying for info.
Were you in party together? If so, were you in the same instance of the same zone. Just because you’re on the same map, doesn’t mean you’ll both spawn to the same version of the map.
If you both are in the same party, one of you will right click on the portrait of the other and “Join in [nameofzone]”

Yes, that’s the thing. It’s possible you both were on the same map but not "exactly" in the same "instance" or "copy" of that map. If you were in a party the server would prioritize to keep you both in the same copy, if not then it usually doesn’t happen.
Another way to know that is typing /ip in chat. It would return the IP of the server you are in plus the instance number. It would be in the format ##.##.##.##:* where * is a number of the instance (usually 0). If you were in a different instance this last number should be different.
