Hello, like written in the title, it would be nice if the amount of friends could be increased. For an example, the current limit is 250 friends MAX and let's say that.. I'm full.

This could be a feature for supporters-only, maybe? That the amount of friend could be increased from 250 to 400?

So yeah, that's it :3

I was actually worried my friends list was going to cap out soon.. but I guess I still have another 150-200 to go.

When I fill that list out, I'll definitely come back to support this.. have a star in advance

Wasn't it in the past 500? At least I am sure it was more as currently and I have no idea why. support

My friend count is currently maxxed. Of course I have lots of people I never talk to on it. I think that a lot of the people on my list are other team members. If I didn't need to add so many contacts from the team to friends I would have even more space.

I'm not close to maxing out my friendlist, but may I suggest increasing friend-count by level (similar to how Steam does it)? Even if there was a minimum level for this increase, it would still provide a sizeable benefit for people who play often.

Yes I'd love this!

Since the osu community is growing, so should the list.

I got your point.
I was more thinking of a game I was playing before. The normal limit is 50 friends but then, by buying a certain item, the limit was increased to 100 friends, or 150, I don't remember. So actually, that's why I suggest the feature for supporter-only :3

Just curious, do you really talk to all 250 people at least once in a while?

I know this concept, actually pretty nice for the case you really need more friend slots. Idk if this would be "fair" with the Level system, at least it would have an use unlike now.

the game would not show random friends who really are online, when the limit was higher. So it tends to bug the game if we have any more friends than this current limit.
a way to sort friends by last seen online would be a sufficient fix for me with the current amount of max friends, there are always people who come and go, but it's very tedious to check who is gone yet. so it takes some minutes before i can add a new friend and i've gotten used to how tedious it is, but sorting by last online would save a lot of time at least in this process, if it's technically impossible to have more friends in the game than the current maximum.
if there is an easy way to increase it without the game bugging, i'm totally for it needless to say.

Valid request. I don't talk to everyone on my friends list but I would like to see this implemented. I see my friends list as a better way of keeping tabs on my favorite players. If that's not how it's intended to be used I suggest considering making a "favorite players" list. It would function the same except it would be used exclusively for watching your favorite players or keeping track of their scores.

Currently sitting on 64 mutual friends, guess I'll need this in future.

And for those asking "do you really talk to them all?" etc.. That's unlikely for most people, but it's nice to see scores in the friend rankings and it's nice for arranging multiplayer games so I wouldn't want to remove any of them.

Nice idea, supporting. Current limit feels kinda outdated since there are much more active players nowadays.

I just knew 250 is the maximum limit of friends.
Now the question is :
Which one is the correct one...?
1. 250 : count mutual and unmutual friend. or
2. 250: count only mutual friend (unmutual friend could exceed the limit).

I'm 99% sure mutual friendship has nothing to do with this. It should just be 250 people total that you've added regardless if they're mutual or not.

Also. I remember reading about sorting them by last online from someone. This list found here: https://osu.ppy.sh/p/friends has these sorted by last online

The more friends you have the more notification data need to be send to you, thats main reason of friend limits. Also it might be IRC server limitation, as Osu clearly use simple (to not say primitive) IRC online notification system that comes with protocol.... as a (kind of former) IRC user i can see that :p
