Why can't we look up a persons name?

I'm trying to find my friend Katie NightHunter in the game but it's too big to find her. Why can't we add friends just by looking up their name? And if we can how do I do that?

Names in Wizard101 are not unique.

One trip to the commons of a full Realm will reveal dozens of Taylor Swifts and Luke Skywalkers.

When you meet someone you like, you can add them to your own Friends List. Just click on the player in the game, or their name in the chat window and send them a Friend Request.
If they want to be your friend, they will confirm.
Many players have 'Accept Friend Requests' turned off, so you may want to ask in chat first.

If you want the prize, you have to build the ladder rung by rung. There are no shortcuts.

I'm pretty sure LOTS of stalking and harassment would occur if that happened. Imagine if you just deleted someone from your friend's list who was bothering you and then they were able to simply look up your name and find you? Ick.

I agree with your idea. I accidentally pressed the Ignore Button while looking at my friend's stats. I want to look up his name again, this is a great idea 6Bloody6Alice6. :D

you should go to a realm where there is not a lot of people and meet in a specific place.
