Forum post character limit increased

Greetings!

You’ve all been asking and we are happy to share, the character limit for forum posts has been increased to 3000 characters.

Thank you for your continued support of Final Fantasy XIV, we look forward to hearing more feedback from you!

It's as if they are still unaware it can be bypassed by editing. But hey, less editing at least, most posts wont hit 3000.

The default setting on vB is 60,000 tho, which cannot be bypassed.

Question : Why just not... going to a REAL coherent limit? . . . no because ok its cool, 3k instead of 1k but why not going to atleast 20k or 50k? ...

Well thank you, better than nothing at least. Still wished we would not have a limit at all.

Well, it's not a ton of extra characters, but I'll certainly take the progress nonetheless.

Thank you it was much needed

Thanks. It's a minor QoL update, but appreciated nonetheless. Looking forward to future improvements.

Would have preferred a entire forum board engine replacement..but this will suffice.

Has this actually been changed, or is it just for general discussion? After reading this post I've hit the 1k character limit twice in two different threads both times being under 2k characters. Both instances were in English Forums > Gameplay > Markets and Retainers if it makes any difference. If this change is coming in the future, can you give a date estimate?

Because we'd have no patience with a single post that takes 10-15 minutes to read?

Because typing 5-10 thousand words 'just to make a point' might be seen as overkill?

Because we really don't want to read an in-depth 'rant' that is that long?
