Subject: Contacting friends on live

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Suggestions and community related discussion belongs in The Septagon. This idea has been brought up before (but there's no search function so I don't blame you), and Achronos said that Microsoft coders balked at the idea of having to do that, so it was left as "something that is cool but would be impossible to implement". Besides, I'm pretty sure XBL's servers are not acessible through the internet for security reasons.

i spent a while looking at which would be best to post this in, so i am sorry i got it wrong, i felt it was bungie related.
bungie can retrieve the info about xbox livers so why not be able to send info to them....shame it would be cool!

I'm not sure why it would be so difficult, but I think it has something to do with it having to remain secure. Or maybe the website just couldn't handle the extra load, I don't know. It definately would be cool though.

how about my other idea, when you look at your friends list you see them all not just the ones who have been in rumblepit?

Just click on another playlist on the left.

As for the Web-to-XBL messaging, at this time it is not possible because the current version of XBL does not allow it. We might see some more web integration stuff on the 360, but who knows...

From the other xbox games i have played, i feel that bungie have done the best at using the friends list in live, its easy to get in tuch and keep up to date with there doing.
also this website is AMAZING i havent seen anything like this, i am glad i can use it to check up on friends and my old games.

my hat goes off to you guys!

after using it for a while now i have 2 things that i would love to see
insted of the first thing you see when looking at your friends is rumble put you see a list of them all, as some of my friends havent played a rumble pit game so i have to go find them in another game type

another idea and this is i feel the best;
i can see my friends online and because of this i will go join them. however somtimes i have said i will be on but cant because of resons, This is where this idea would be great.

when you see your friends online, you can click there name and click another button saying 'contact' from this you get a text box like the one i am typing in now and when you submit it would go onto the live database and they would see this messege in game.
thus letting me contact friends who are online via a website.
i often find myself wanting to tell sombody i cant come on or would they want to come round to my house for tea and crumpets on the lawn.

anybody else think onlin contacting would be a good idea?

thanks for reading.
