    Re: News! Xbox Live Shutdown for Original Xbox

    Microsoft hasn't said anything official about increasing the friend limit beyond 100. I hope that happens in the future, but I doubt it.

    They need to allow proper group support. How good would it be if you could start a Trials HD group, so everyone could share tracks with everyone else.

    Yea, I know nothing is official yet, but Microsoft did say "we need to make changes to the service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games" It may or may not include the friends list that was limited by the old xbox. I didn't mean to get everyone all excited, haha.

    Great, now I feel the pain of the Xbox players losing their servers. I just found out that the Chromehounds servers were shut down just a little under a month ago, after I decided to start playing the game again. I played through the whole campaign to prepare myself for the online world only to be denied entry due to the servers being down. How painful a rejection

    As with other improvements that have been added to LIVE over the years (like avatar awards), it is not at all certain that any old release will support the new features without patching.

But they said that that it will open up new possibilities for the service. This was the reason for the friends list being limited to 100, and now that Xbox Live will only be available through the 360, the limit can be increased. Microsoft said that they will give news on their plans to improve the service soon.

    Lets all hope we will soon be able to have 200+ friends to share more Trials tracks!
    Let me guess, you have to get the new xbox to get the friends increase.

    They've done major updates in the past and none of them required a new xbox (nxe for example). Plus the cost for a gold subscription has stayed the same despite all the 'gold required' features they've added.
