XBL for original Xbox titles goes offline tonight at 3am EST

Does anybody really play online with everyone on their 100 friends list or is it more of a Facebook, "I have friends" type of mentality?

[Mzo]

I don't think I have close to 100 friends on Live even with the TNL bloat, but I definitely play with the ones I have up.

EVERYONE BUY SPLINTER CELL: PANDORA TOMORROW

Man, Unreal Championship 2 was awesome. No one cared though!

And Rallisport Challenge 2!

EVERYONE BUY SPLINTER CELL: PANDORA TOMORROW

And this!

Exbox!

Man, lots of memories on the first Xbox Live. Playing CVS2 was so awesome but also a lesson in how good some people are at fighting games. I remember when games had free live cards, but instead of 48 hrs like now, it was 3 months ! Guilty Gear X2 reload was a blast and Samurai Shodown 5 was fun playing with Destro ! I swear, we were the only people on that game.

Phantom Dust was pretty awesome as well. I think I live the end of Live with that game since I don't have an original Xbox to play CVS2 anymore.

Damn - miss playing Burnout 3 on XBL.

I still don't know why they couldn't set aside some concurrent server system and run Xbox 1 games off that. Doesn't MS hire smart people?

I think the only way it would work would be to limit original Xbox games going online via the original Xbox (never the 360), and I'm sure they have little interest in doing that.

It isn't just for playing together though, it's also for things like leaderboards and whatnot. And just because you might not see the need for having a lot of people on your friends list, that doesn't mean others won't welcome the ability.

Shidoshi is right. Even if I don't play with everyone on my list, it's cool to see where I stack up against other TNL folks in certain games (Trials HD, Pac-Man CD, etc). I welcome the eventual limit bump and rumored Clan support.

All right, my plan is tentatively gonna go something like this (edited):

8:00 EST: Halo 2
9:00: Crimson Skies
10:00: Splinter Cell PT
11:00: Phantom Dust
Afterwards: maybe more Halo 2

I can't find my copy of Burnout 3, fuck.

I won't be able to play until after 9:45pm, so no PD for me.
