Behavior​

Sender​

Sent when the user submits a friend request from the search panel or another UI entry point. The target is identified by username rather than user ID.

Receiver​

The server resolves the username to a user ID and validates eligibility (block settings, friend list capacity). If the target accepts incoming requests, the server creates a pending friend request and delivers messenger.friend_request (s2c 2219) to the target's active session. If the request cannot be sent, the server responds with messenger.message_error (s2c 892). Confirmed in GLADIATOR.
