More friend space and blacklist space, please.

Now that we have both available for cross world additions, I am definitely kind of at the seams for both lists. Can we PLEASE get more space? I've been playing about four years now and have been at the verge of being full on these lists for a loooong time.

I hope it can be implemented soon because there's a lot of people I'd like to add! :(

I can somewhat see having a bigger friends list (though I think anyone who manages to have 200 "friends" is going to fill up the new bigger list in short order anyway and probably still never even talk to more than 1/8 of them), but what on earth do you need more than 200 slots on a blacklist for?

People can send you /tells from other servers. It means more troublesome people who can possibly message you, after they were pissing everyone off in whatever run they could have been doing. I know once I was able to blacklist people from other servers that I managed to max out my blacklist easily, with me still running into more troublesome players. GMs always say 'make sure you blacklist Sir Blahington', but you can't actually do that when you've MANY times the amount of people that can be blacklisted now. It's something that should have been given once we could add friends/send tells to people on other servers.

I would actually advocate for increasing the limit from 200 to 2000. At least as far as blacklisting goes. For friends list, I'd suggest a smaller increase, since you can also use Discord and such.

I just want a "Delete all" button on the blacklist

But you shouldn't need more than 200 slots. Clear out the top ~20 or so names once a week and you should be fine:

If you can't remember why some of the older names are on there, take them off. If it was over something petty, take them off after a few days or so when both of you have cooled off or otherwise forgotten about it. Or stop blacklisting people over petty nonsense in the first place. Old RMT names are always safe to remove since they get banned on a regular basis (but banned characters do not show up as (deleted) so I hope none of your are hoarding RMT names waiting for that).

GMs do advocate placing problematic players onto your blacklist to resolve most squabbles (and so do I, for the record), but that doesn't mean you need to leave them all on the list indefinitely to the point where your list is always full. If you're always blacklisting people to the point where you're "easily" maxing out the 200 limit, I don't think anything besides an infinite list will help you anyway; you're just going to cap again in no time if you don't regularly purge off older names.

Yes! Or if the character has been deleted, automatic removal from the list.

Delete all button please and thank you

I don't even blacklist rmt for the reason that it would fill up my blacklist really quick and then I'd have to remove them all just to start over. Big things like sending me thirty tells in two minutes and I'll just remove that one or two a couple days later because by that time the characters'll be gone anyway. As for flist, I'm also more choosy. I don't pop you on it because I like you in a dungeon. I comm you for that. For acquaintances, there's fc and ls lists. If it's someone that I communicate with often and/or enjoy running content with, then I'll friend them. I've had plenty of friends and blacklisted plenty of annoyances and never come close to the limit.
