Gw1 friends list

Hello anet,
Is theres any way to find the contacts of the people i had on my gw1 friends list and add them (or at least find theyr account) on gw2? Because i have contacts that actually bought and linked theyr accounts with gw2 but now i cant find them ingame. If there isnt a way, is there a chance that anet crew might look into that in the future?

Cheers

As far as I know, there is no automatic way to do so. The GW1-friendlist was not copied to GW2. The only connection between the 2 games is the Hall of Monuments and even that only give you points.
The link can only be seen by the games owner.

Sorry, there isn’t a way to do this between games. You can go into GW, nab the names (screenshots, make a list, etc.) and then ping those names in GW2, if you desire. Not all players in GW carried over their names to GW2, but many did, so that’s one way you could make the cross-game friends-list bridge.
