More friends and more ignores for my list as well. I've personally never filled up the friends list, but I'm constantly clearing my ignore list so I can fill it again. Let us all have a much higher limit. My time in Star Trek Online was more enjoyable due to being able to ignore a seemingly endless wave of fools. I wish I could do that here.

I can't imagine ever having my friends list filled. Much less have it filled with people who are are in regularly.

I’m happy with it being where it is.

“No room for additional friends” is a great way to auto decline people I really don’t want to be on there in the first place.

This isn't facebook, you do not need a billion people on your friends list. Just keep it to the people you actually play the game with on a regular basis.

Yeah this. I can't even begin to imagine the login/logout spam of having so many people on your friends list.

Add unlimited blocklist to that please...

The log-in/log-out messages could simply become an option to be turned-off in Social Settings.
Besides, who reads the automated text message from the chat-box, anyway?

Thank you for asking for an increase to the friend's list instead of an increase to the ignore list, as some have done in the past. Much more positive this way. Make friends, not enemies. Live and love, love and live.

It's really easy to get 100 friends and know them all if you create notes for them. I always put up their character name and how we know each other as well as other notable things. That way I only need a quick glance at my friend list to remember who just came online or whispered me.

Suggestion: Learn the difference between "Friends" and "Acquaintances". Also, stop friending guild mates. With 5 guilds, you already have Friends List capacity of 2500 guild-mates with the guild rosters. You can set your notifications to let you know when guildies go on and offline. You don't need them in your friends list.

Except when Acquaintances become your friends...?
That is typically how social relationships work: stranger > acquaintance > friend.
Also, your friends are typically the ones in your guilds, especially if it is a low-man group / tight-knit guild/community that is active everyday with events, etc, lol.
And, if you don't control the guilds or have a say in their respective social-structures/management-style,then you don't know how long people (your 'friends') will last there.
Just look at trading guilds, 50 people get kicked or purged for not meeting 'sales requirements' or being inactive or for being logged off on a low-lvl character or the guild leader/officer randomly decided to kick you or your friend(s) to make guild space for their own friends, and so on... 50 people get kicked a day and 50 people join everyday, or every other day, whatever that guild's policy is.
And if you are unfamiliar with any of the above situations/examples, then you haven't been a part of any of the major guilds that own the most popular guild traders week in and week out.

Again, simple solution: ZOS can simply increase the size of the Friends List.
If you don't like it or don't care for it, then simply don't add any more people to your friends list? Lol? I'm not sure what is so difficult about that to understand. If you like your measly 50 friends or 100 friends, then simply do not add anyone else. That doesn't mean the rest of us have to abide by your own biased low-ball hard-limit standards, lol.
No one manages your social network other than you, so you can't tell other people how to manage theirs.
Every guild and person that I have talked to in-game about this topic has said they wanted an increase in Friends List size. Hence why I made a post about it.

In addition, ESO is only getting bigger and bigger with new content every quarter; yet our friends list size is remaining the same and not scaling with the size and content of the game.
With the "One Tamriel" update over a year ago that opened up the 3 factions, our Friends List size should have triple from 100 to 300, lol. What are you going to do with your new AD/DC characters when all of your initial friends/guilds are on EP (or vice versa).

TL;DR: An increase in Friends List size would be beneficial or neutral to all players. There is no drawback or negative aspect in anyway. If you think otherwise, then you are either a troll or a fool, really, lol.

It is as simple as that.

How do you people even keep up with 100 friends? What the heck xD

I only have about 50 close friends and don't even want more. Stop collecting them like pokémon xD

I have some players from way back when that I cannot bear to delete. I have notes on all, some are battlegrounds players, some I actually trust to heal anything in place of me (as in would totally vouch for in my place), good tanks, PVPers, and then some people who friended me who I am too nice to ignore friend req xD

Exactly, same here.
My most-inactive friend was the person who held the longest-reigning Emperor title in ESO's history (he held Emperor for 87 days straight, or something, IIRC). Anyway, me and my guild, with the help of others, had dethroned him 3 days before the "90-day" campaign scoreboard/leader-board reset, lol.

EDIT: It was a bloody and glorious day, lol.

Do you really need 2,500 friends?

I have friends on my list I don't even know. They want to be my friend but then never talk to me. Every now and then someone will take a break from the game and then whisper me "Hi, how have you been? Remember me?". In 99.9% cases, I have no clue who they are, but politely respond with wiith, "Yes, i remember you. How are you?".

I have 100 friends, but I have less then 10 real friends on my friends list.

In case you did not read, the suggestion was to increase the Friends List size from the current/default 100-limit and increase it to 200 or 300. Not to 2,500...
I was making a comparison of Friends List size limit to the Guild size limit, which is ridiculous when you compare the two.

As to your other comment, this is why you "create a note" next to the person's account-name so that you remember how you met/what you did, etc. Because each person has up to 8 characters with different names. It can be hard to remember all of them. All of my 100/100 friends each have a note by their account name denoting how we met or what we did, and I put in the date of when they were added.

Since ZOS is finally giving The Imperial City DLC away for free, thus slightly devaluing ESO Plus memberships, maybe ZOS could double the Friend's List Size Limit for ESO Plus members from 100 to 200 to compensate?

ESO is one of very few modern MMORPGs with such a small Friend's List size limit.
In FFXI, one could have 300 Friends per account, and FFXI released in 2002.
ESO released in 2014, what exactly is the technical reason for such a small Friend's List limit?

Just a thought.

Thanks for necro'ing my 1.5 year-old thread. Lmao.
I still agree, ZOS needs to increase ESO's Friend's List Size Limit, either for everyone or for ESO Plus members.
100 friends is way too small for an MMORPG that is currently 5, going on 6 years old.
I had classes back in college with more people than 100. Lol.

@ZOS_MattFiror @ZOS_RichLambert @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Is this something you can please finally look into?

Guilds =/= Friend's List.
Friends stay in touch regardless of guild association.
Guilds are faction-locked, too big or too small (in both size and player/social activity), and many have strange social structures (ranks) or stupid rules, not to mention the dozens of pure self-important 'Trading Guilds' that just hound players for monetary donations to keep their gold sink trader every week. What a chore. These are not friends, more like opportunists.

I would rather have a larger Friend's List size so that I can enjoy the game on my own terms, with my own friends, rather than be boggled down by mass-mail SPAM from Trader Guilds requesting more sales and donations for their self-important agenda and social schemes. Or, vice versa -- the opposite, be a part of a few dead, empty inactive guilds of ~50 players, with no more than 5 ever online at any given time.

A larger Friend's List size limit would put greater emphasis on the many social features and social systems of the game.
Not guilds. Guilds are just a cheap scheme of "Who Wants To Play Politics" or "Who Wants To Build An Empire."

Some of us just want to play ESO with all the many friends we've met across the years of the game, without measly little restrictions like a small Friend's List size of 100 players.
