Kudos to the dev team for listening. It's been a long time coming. I look at it as a giant leap in the right direction, so thanks A-team.
The options, on the other hand...leave me wanting more. Like Medjai, I would also like the option of only being available to friends/lovers/spouses. (I do see that starting problems, too. People begging/pestering to be put on lists so they can have contact. I don't like the lists to begin with; I don't like labeling my friendships or giving them status...but that's just me. I digress.)
Secondly, I don't like that it makes me look as if I'm in a room. I'd hate to have to explain myself to a friend I was scheduled to meet that I wasn't actually in a room...merely afk. Friendships here are treasured and sometimes fragile, so I doubt I'll be using the busy button. Maybe offer a different color? I don't know.
Finally, if this is the answer to having time to answer messages and change before becoming available for chat, I'll pass. Again because I don't want my friends to misunderstand my status. Would it be possible to not show up green until I hit the 'partner search' button when first logging on? That would give me enough time to reply to any messages and change my clothes/background.
