For a long time (I've been around since SK came out of Beta), I've simply deleted friends as I needed to to make room for new ones. There were those that stopped playing or those I couldn't remember...
At this point I'm beginning to have to decide between people I still remember and would like to play with. Thus, now I care about the complaints I've heard from others about this. I doubt this is the first thread on the topic, but the forum search seems to be slower than I'm willing to wait for.
250 friends in a worldwide MMO is too low a limit.
Why can I ignore twice as many people as I can friend?
Any chance of upping the friends list limit?
Imo finding and remembering 250 active people is pretty hard. Or I'm just a loner. Question is, did you friend people in the guild you are in? Your guild list is basically a longer friends list.
