Battle.net Friend Limit Increased to 200

Recommended Posts

A soft launched increase to the size of the Battle.net friend list cap (previously 100 friends) was discovered late last night. We have gotten official confirmation today of the intentional increase to a new limit of 200.

 

The following tweet was just issued from the BlizzCon account:

 

 

Have you taken advantage of the increased friend list size?

This is great news for a lot of people! I'm not even close to 100 friends, but I know others have been calling for this change for a long time. It's a great move by Blizzard as it shows they are paying attention to their customers. I mentioned in a previous post on this subject that I thought the change would occur if there was enough demand for it. It appears that the people spoke and Blizzard listened.

 

This sort of thing makes me more hopeful for other future changes. A lot of us have been asking for a Tournament mode and increased deck slots, among other changes, so I think Blizzard will eventually cater to the customer and provide these things for us.

      A global maintenance is scheduled for later today and all Blizzard services will be unavailable from 22:00-23:00 CEST.

      (Source)
      As many players noticed, there’s an extra maintenance time scheduled for 22:00-23:00 CEST tonight, 6 October.
      This maintenance is for a global infrastructure upgrade, so we need to carry it out at the same time for all of our services around the world. We chose this time for having the least global impact, but recognize that it is not ideal for European players, especially those in Western time zones.
      We’re hopeful that the actual maintenance will be completed in a matter of 15-30 minutes, and while players will likely be unable to log-in during this maintenance, we won’t need to shut down realms. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the stability of the game service during this timeframe.
      Thank you.
