    Extend friend list

    A quick search didn't show anything on that topic yet, and I'm guessing it's because most people aren't at that point yet. However, the friend list limitation is starting to show, I've already had to "clean it up" twice, and I'm already full again. For me, removing old friends, even if they don't play anymore is quite painful, and I really wish I didn't have to do that. Now, I know that the FL has to be loaded every time when someone zones and that could increase the server strain, but if you consider it's only a handful of people that are even affected by it (that is, only a few people seem to even reach this point), and FL loading isn't much trouble in the first place, I don't think it would be too much of an issue. I just hate having to wipe old friends of my list to make room for new ones.

    Seeing how crappy Skype is, I doubt even that. And it's still something completely unrelated. Skype won't tell me if someone is on POL or not. Skype won't tell me if a friend is on a mule I don't know. And it would require me to install that shitty piece of software fucking up my entire computer. So if you ask me, I'd rather sit around and wait for SE to get rid of these limitations, which I'm not doing anyway. Thankfully, I have more options than those two. It's a simple suggestion.

    You've made over 200 genuine friends in this game that are painful to delete from your friends list? If you're that charismatic, go out and change the world.

    And I'm not joking; I've made just 2 good friends in this, and I'm only attached to one of them still.

    I may be an exception, but so are you. I'm just more nostalgic about old friends. I already said I don't have contact with a majority of them, I just don't see how it would be a bad deal, as I don't imagine it being too stressful on the server, especially with the decreased population these days.

    I've had it happen more than once that old friends reactivate and contact me after years because I was the only active person on their friend list, some of whom I still hang out with, which may never have happened without the friend list. And, again, I don't see anything wrong with it.

    I like to help people, and some people that are on my friendlist keep coming back, others disappear so I delete them. but once in a while, I have to delete a friend that I don't want to to be able to add to the list, so yes, an extended friendlist would be great, even if the new list has to be called "buddlyist", because of the game's limit of friendist being only 200 max, i dont care. Give me a second friendlist^^.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.
