Why is there a limit on Groups?

Really???  This is a community game. We should be allowed to be in as many groups, or create as many as we want.  I am at my limit and I cant create any new ones.  I was just sitting here thinking how cool it would be to create a workout group (P90X, Runners club, biking club, etc) so that I could find other Glitchen that would love to have someone to talk to about their workout plans. But, I would have to leave about 15 groups to be able to do this.

Why on Urth do we have a limit on the amount of clubs we can join?  Here are my thoughts on how to fix this.

1. Lift the limit on the number of groups we can create, join, and accept invites.
2. Give us a permission tab for groups, so we can choose which groups we want to show up in game as chat windows. ( I would only choose 3, instead of having all them on the left with my friends)
3. Put groups below our friends list.

Some groups I want chat windows to chat in game, other groups I just want for their forums, the third is for parties.

(Grr, should have probably put this in the Ideas forum)

  • What's the limit?

  • I think its 10.  There is a work around that if someone invites you to a group you can accept the invite on one page, but not on the other.

  • Urth?!! That's GENIUS :D

    Yeah, I kinda do not like the limit. But for groups, there needs to be  a drop down arrow so I can expand or hide them when I want to quickly do something on glitch.

  • 20 groups is the limit; I've asked about this in ideas (link) but no response.

    Upon reflection, I suspect the reason has to do with the fact that every group you join is potentially a new chat channel, and the UI couldn't handle 40-50 different chat channels.

  • Miri, that is my point. Why not give us permissions inside the group that would allow us have it show up as a chat channel, or not. Put a limit on the number of groups we can have as chat channels, but to limit groups entirely because of this is what does not make sense.

    There is more to groups than just chat.

  • But couldn't they always limit how many chat channels you have open instead of limiting groups, altogether?

  • Innie, I definitely agree with you, I want to be able to belong to more groups; I just haven't heard anything on the suggestion.

  • I like the idea of being able to choose which group chats I want to show up on the side. I especially like the idea of the group chats showing up under all my friends.

    I don't use any of the IG chats for any of my groups save one. There are a couple of groups where I might pop into the chat every once in a while to see what's up, but don't need/want them around all the time.
