User can send friend request with max friends

Bug: Users with max friends (200) can still send friend requests.

I noticed this when someone I was collaborating with sent me a friend request. He had 200 friends already though. Trying to accept it simply told me he had the max friends, so denied me (as expected). He was confused by this.

Expected behavior: Users with max friends should not be able to send friend requests.

I imagine this is just an oversight. Or perhaps the desired behavior for some reason?

Repro: Get 200 friends (lol) and try to send another friend request to someone.

This bug has to be fixed immediately, by bringing up the friend limit count to 500. No other method is sufficient.

Correction:
Removing the friend limit is the only way to fix this bug.

The limit exists to help Roblox with its servers. A max of 200 friends for every user takes up less space on a server than users having thousands of friends.

999 friend limit count. Not in the thousands. :crazy_face:

It’s important that games can search through friends without lag, so the average total-friends-per-player should be kept reasonable. For most users 200 is more than plenty, but perhaps players with Builders Club should be allowed more.

Yes, that is an understandable valid point, but what if a players Builders Club membership is cancelled? What if they their membership expires and isn’t renewed, should they stay on the friends list?

Look at how groups work at the moment and you should know the answer to that question already

Righttt, they would stay there. :tired_face:

If there were any truth to that there wouldn’t be (unlimited) followers.

That’s actually a fair point and one that I somehow overlooked. Thus, it seems like the limit exists for things like the friend pages.
