What is a Roster Friend in Lost Ark?

Lost Ark is one of the most popular free-to-play titles on Steam, and for a good reason. This isometric MMO lets players take control of multiple classes to battle hordes of monsters in PvE and players in PvP. Like most MMOs, players can add friends to join them in their struggle. While users player face the trials of Lost Ark alone, adding friends is an option. Friends lists split into two categories: there are Friends and Roster friends in Lost Ark. But what sets them apart?

What's the difference between Friends and Roster Friends in Lost Ark?

Friends in Lost Ark only apply to the character added. Adding someone as a friend allows users to connect with a specific character in Lost Ark. Still, if that player logs onto another character, users won't be able to communicate with that friend without adding their alternate character, which is an unneeded hassle. Adding someone as a Roster Friend tags their entire account as a Friend, regardless of which character they're playing on.
