that sounds more complicated than i'm sure it is. i'm sure there is a limited number of friends you can have(as previously stated) but having free communication methods without authorization (an Op-in option: meaning you should have the choice to turn it on) would greatly increase the community's ability to function inside and outside the game. for those that don't want to be bothered by the regular trolling, they can turn it off and require Friendship auth to communicate. in server chat is one thing to use, but the steam community communication system (in the process of getting an upgrade might i add) could be utilized better cross-platform be it a game or console. (then watch the chat server load multiply and have the chat down more than it already is) I don't see this changing soon (with the Community upgrade) but a push should be made to make these changes.

Valve must maintain a reverse contact list in order to notify all your friends when changes happen to your status (online/offline/in-game, etc.) The amount of effort required to do that goes up dramatically when you get into hundreds of friends.

There is some glue, sometimes at 245/295 friends you get full, sometimes only at x over the max. Tip: make one or more groups, make it invite only and get them to be member. With up to 149 members you can directly chat with them via the groups tab in friendslist. At 150 this stops.

This is the error I'm getting: #Profile_AddFriendYourListFull #Profile_AddFriendYourListFullDesc ... ... ... just tried it by clicking on + ADD A FRIEND at the bottom of the Friends window and it just came up with this: 'Could not invite this friend. Your limit is exceeded.' Really? Are you kidding me? I can't have anymore friends? Is this a joke?
