Ever since I joined Xbox Live (5 years ago, I think) there has always been a limit of 100 friends.
Personally, I think this is too low. 200-300 seems more appropriate. I’m a huge fan of custom games and at 100 friends (I was at the limit, but deleted some to try and make room, 80+ at the moment) I never have more than maybe 10 people playing the same game (Halo 4) at a time (and that’s at like 6pm, prime time; at 2am its so much more barren if I happen to be on that late).
I just figured that as they have really been expanding the Xbox Live experience the past few years that they would allow more people to interact with.
Absolutely. I may not play with everyone on my friend’s list on a regular basis, but it’s still nice to have them on my friend’s list for when I do want to play with them (or vice versa). It should be raised!
