Increase Character Limit for Battle Cry and Character Description.

[terse sapphire]

Now I don't know about you fellas, but I try my absolute best to create good characters in my City of Heroes roster. And of course, a good character needs a good backstory.

Character Description's character limit is usually 1024 characters and that's about it.
But what if you were to increase that limit from 1024 to 4096, or perhaps 5120.
And you can increase Battle Cry's character limit from 32 to 64, or probably 128.

A small suggestion, but I think it will impact on how we make our characters whether it's a hero or a villain.

This is something I never had the urge to suggest up until now.

Agreed!

I definitely want this! The best we could do now is something like "for more of the story, go to this website..."

Or post our more fleshed out version of it in the forums like how Leichenengel does it.

Which is what I do sometimes.

That stuff is based around fields in the DB where they are stored, we can look into it but tend to be very cautious when it comes to anything remotely DB related.

Personally I want that weird sporatic bug in text fields to be fixed too, where sometimes in large description fields (it happens in AE creation too) the cursor will forget where it is when you move to middle to edit/add, and then stop showing text you add until you forcibly delete stuff until it's back down and then suddenly everything is there past the line wrap. (Or exit out and go back in, but ick). It makes adding big descriptions an issue already, and if we get more description space (I'd LOVE that!) it'd just compound.

honestly i've given up actually typing anything in those fields, i just type stuff up in notepad and then copy paste it in heh
