Learned this from a friend... place all the offline buddies into a buddy group, then click that group to expand it on your buddy list, press tab 6 times, press the delete button, then check the mark for delete buddies in the group too. Quite a nifty trick :3

Brb trying this trick. This could just solve my problem of clearing clutter from my BL. =D
Edit: Trick works. Just need Nexon to fix up the rest of BL in order to delete deleted/world transferred characters. Ty again Cyanne. <3

It works, but too bad you can't group people that have been deactivated or changed servers. So for those people you can't delete

What exactly does the tab button do to facilitate this method?

Yup, Mike showed me how earlier today. "Deleting buddies is an art form", I'm told. >_o v

Wow, definitely gotta try this tomorrow. My BL is starting to get to the point where it's gonna be filled with a ton of inactive players.

FANTASTIC!!!! I haven't really played MS in a while but have been there lately trying out new things. It's been bugging me that I have a FULL B/L and no one ever on. (I'm sure most have deleted me long ago due to inactivity). Thanks so much for the tip. I'm totally using it tomorrow after the s/c.

I think I'm doing something wrong. It's not deleting my buddies.

[COLOR="Magenta"]I used this method just now, and it worked fantastically!
However what do I do about characters who have been deleted? It won't let me move some of them.[/COLOR]

Now if you can just find a trick to deleting buddies from Default that either don't exist anymore or have deleted you from their buddy list and now has a full buddy list, I'd be happy.
