Limitation. As of February 2015, ROBLOX made it so that any user can have up to 200 friends instead of unlimited. Any best friends you had were converted to friend. Some users were unhappy of the update. There was an outrage from some parts of the Community after this was implemented.
Additionally, Roblox converted any best friends into friends. Many players were upset at this change, arguing that 200 was too low of a number and should be increased. Since the change's implementation, the amount of friends a user can have has never been increased.
You, the ROBLOX community, have told us that friends should be able to play and compete with one another – easily. We’ve already made inroads by launching VIP Servers, which you can now set to be Friends-only (rather than manually white-listing specific people) with the launch of Friends and Followers.
If you get over 20 friends, you get the Friendship Badge. If you have over 5,000 friends, it will say "All" instead of a number, though you can still check the number on your profile. As of February 2015, the amount of friends an user can have has been limited to 200 max.
“200 friend limit is because of VIP Servers, you are cheating the system because the developers are not making money because friends would use other people VIP servers.” if you want to stay in contact with your players, make a discord or something of that sorts. We have been talking about increasing the friend limit.
Get to their Profile. The easiest way to get to this is by typing the person's username into the search bar at the top of the screen and selecting to search in the People category. Once you find the person's profile you are looking for, click on that person's username. Select the Add Friend option on their profile.
In 2021, Democratic candidate in the 2022 US Senate election in Florida Allen Ellison started a campaign to expand the friend limit after his Roblox account, AllenEllison, hit the aforementioned 200 user limit.
If you don't know their username, you can't add them. How often does a person check their friend requests? Sometimes I like to friend people, but sometimes I might not enough time to friend them in-game. Some people check often while other don't.
