I've seen green and red (obviously) and orange when connection in unstable, but I haven't seen a name in purple untill today. Winter Update was released today so I wonder if it's something new or just something I've by some miraculous chance haven't seen.

Best answer

If you hover over your friend's name it says "Status: Exercise dummy training"

I just saw it. Seems to be to mark that your friend is skilling, probably so people won't feel ignored when their friend doesn't answer for 8 hours (as long as the new best exercise weapon lasts) xD


Edit 07/08/2021- The feature was added with Winter Update 2020.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Wow nice one! Would be nice to be purple on depot hahaha when we are actually afk so people don't feels ignored aswell.

yes and no.... You will not spend hours on depot without checking what's going on. And if you are AFK it should be temporary. Training weapons  are matter of being afk for hours (even sleeping) . Also then you couldnt use it as a excuse when you are actually ignoring people (not that we are doing it ofc....) :D
