Friend Tags - Can we use arbitrary strings for the tags or should we stick to a set of tags?

I've read that one should one use a certain set of tags for Player tags (maybe 20 it was?).

That means you can have a pool of ~20 tags and you only ever use these and not any string that you want for any given player.

Does the same apply to friend tags or can we use arbitrary strings (of course not arbitrary in length) there?

Since a player account can only have a limited number of tags (and friend tags), it's generally a good idea to use a limited set of tags across all users, though it's not required.

What exactly does this limit imply? The number of tags/characters one can use?

Or does it mean any given player can only have a certain amount of different tags across all friends and himself?

What exactly is the limit and how high is it set for pro users?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused and trying to find out what we can do with tags in the future ;)

Each player can have a max of 5 tags. Tags should be relatively compact, as they're meant as simple pieces of information about players (so, keep them under 75 characters). Pro/enterprise customers who need more should discuss that with us directly via ticket, so that we can talk through their use cases.
