OK considering how the game is a persistent(ish) world. Perhaps a encountered player list is necessary.
You could apply an icon to appear above players heads out of a selection of icons, to represent their relation to you in a personal way.
This could serve as a medium for keeping notes about players you encounter. Be they trader, raider, hero, friend, adventurer, explorer, ect... and if they are a trader for example maybe what resources they offer.
It could allow for controlling players "ranks" across your various shared maps from one menu
and of course the thing people sadly have to care about most, a convenient means of blocking/reporting players without adding them to friends or rushing to do so.
you shouldn't be able to message anyone on this list, just a means of keeping track of your encounters.
I think players should need to be in LOS to get added to your list, popping into a multiplayer map adding everyone to your encountered list and moving on seems bad somehow. Or if they post a message in game chat after you are loaded in. but maybe if the list logs in details about them it still shouldn't do that till in LOS
Also it would be could if it displayed what they looked like last time you saw them.
Edit: It could theoretically allow players to revisit multiplayer ylands quickly by visiting the map owner's encountered player page
