Why are the number of groups capped? I've always wondered. Friends list doesn't seem to be capped. Inventory doesn't seem to be capped. But the number of groups one can join is. Why is that?

In the current production release there is a technical reason why groups can not go above 15. That has been fixed in 1.12.

In 1.12 groups suddenly become much more complex. Until we have a chance to evaluate the load they will generate in production we still need to keep the cap low. However at the same time we do recognize the need for more groups. So we are upping the limit to 25 until we get a better feel for what the system can handle and what we would need to do to increase that limit.
