Unable to add friend to friend list

So a friend of mine just started playing APB:R today, so naturally I wanted to add him as a friend. At first it said the character didn't exist, which was the exact same thing on his end when he tried to add me.

I thought it was due to him still have the "T" as a rank (yes, we are both criminals), so I told him to do the tutorial a bit and a mission to get ranked up. But still we are unable to add each other as it says neither character exists.

Then I thought it was because we weren't in the same district, so I told him how to join another district, etc and we tried again... but again it said that no character exists. So we double checked our names and they were both correct.

The next step was I got another friend to come online to try and add him, but the same issue was there even for him. So I then told him to go to the social district, same instance, etc...

And we couldn't even see each other there...

I have no clue what is going on, so any help would be awesome.

Most impressive!
You performed many tests to determine why you could not interact in the game, unfortunatly you neglected to verify that you both were actually on the same server from what you've shared.
There are multiple servers across the earth and there is no interaction between player sets from each location. What you will want to do is ensure you both are on the same server in the future and go forward from there.

Yeah, we are both on EU1 as well. Obeya, that is.

Only game I've encountered this issue in was Vindictus and Lord of the Rings online. I don't think it is an APB issue since I've not seen reports of it.
I'm lead to believe you are mistaken in either your spelling of this players name, server you are connecting to, or your instance location relative to theirs.

There are multiple instances of each map futher segregated by Threat level. There is a potential to have multiple instances of the same district with the same threat level. An example would be two social districts.
You should make use of the >>> botton in the top left area of district selection to ensure you are joining the same location.

Double-check which server you are on. That is the only explanation that fits. You should be able to add people regardless of threat level, instance, etc. So long as you are on the same server.

I'll have to go down to his house to check, maybe he is blind, haha.

I've honestly made that mistake with it myself before. The whole EU1/EU2 naming can sometimes wind up with someone mistaking the one server for the other at a glance.
