does this mean we will also get a larger blocklist limit if we are getting a raised friend limit? I don’t think I will ever reach max friends but I have reached the limit of users I can block and I would personally find that to be more useful when using the platform.

If you commission people or get commissioned, or just otherwise work with a lot of people, this limit is reached very quickly.

Why is friending necessary for that?

I think it’s more common for long-term work but if you need to demo something working in-game, if you need to test something with them, etc, this is easier when you have them as a friend. When you have to do this with several teams, the number of friends on your friends list goes up a lot. Also team create permissions for games under your profile require you to be friends.
Pair that with people you actively play with, it just goes up from there.
It’s also just nice to have them as a friend to say “I worked with this person” or something.

We’re happy to share that the number of users you can block has been increased from 100 to 1000! There is no action required on your end to implement this.

A few days ago my game has started having problems identifying who’s your friend in-game. I’m suspecting the Player:IsFriendsWith() call (calling it client-side to avoid the cache) to be faulty on my live game, but the problem is that I’m running the same exact code on my “production” and “testing” experiences and the code works fine on “testing” but not “production”:
UPDATE: After restarting my live servers it seems like friend status checks started working again, but there were still weird problems - I periodically call Player:IsFriendsWith() on all players client-side to check the current friend status, and it seems like Player:IsFriendsWith() somehow returned false for a player who was my friend for the whole period:
This code snippet might roughly show what I’m doing:
local is_friends = nil
local success, result = pcall(function()
is_friends = LocalPlayer:IsFriendsWith(tonumber(user_id_string))
end)
if success ~= true then
warn("[FriendClient]: :IsFriendsWith() error:", result)
end
if success == true and type(is_friends) == "boolean" then
if is_friends_server ~= is_friends then
print(`[FriendClient]: Requesting server to switch friend state for {user_id_string} from "{is_friends_server}" to "{is_friends}"`)
update_list[user_id_string] = is_friends
end
endProduction:

This is also happening for Chechos Deltarune RP - Roblox. Client side scripts cannot properly identify who your friends are and it’s leading to friends being unable to TP to eachother

A little late the party but time to clout chase all the verified people with the new limit increase. Jokes aside, W API update.

well i dont really care but like congrats to anyone that’ll have 1000 friends
what WOULD actually be useful is a way to mass remove friends without extensions
future predictions: “I sent a friend request to one-thousand verified users, and we’re gonna see who accepts”

Best update, it’s good for privacy (both for user, both for user’s friends) (my opinion).
Um. Did this not break tons of games? I had to reupdate my entire friend joining system???
