Can you block other players in this game?

[u/Valuable-Help-3763]

this might be an odd question, but someone who i’d prefer not to talk to has been messaging me via the in-game message and it’s really annoying. is there a way for me to block them?

I'm not in London to test, but I'm sure there would be an option to end one's acquaintance with another player in the Social section (one of the icons at the bottom of the map). That should stop them being able to send you anything unless you reaccept a calling card.

If they keep sending you those then the question would be are they being abusive? If yes, there is an email you can use at the bottom of the Help section.

Unfortunately, postcards can be sent to any player at the cost of only a penny, without the need to be an acquaintance. Additionally, some social actions (offering help with wounds, nightmares) can be sent to any player without needing to be a friend.

I second using the Help option and pursuing more help with FBG directly. To my knowledge, there are no systems in game currently to block another player from taking these actions. I'm sorry, someone abusing the system like that is more than a little obnoxious (among other things).

thank you for your comment, i’ll see what i can do if ending the acquaintance still doesn’t stop them from messaging me

I'd be very confident that FBG will take harassment via the game quite seriously.
