Forum post character limit increased

[kikix12]

I'm pretty sure that since the post I made on the eight, I could post stuff up to 3000 without the need of editing, meaning that the limit was already raised by then. Yes, I think that at third it still was not, but afterwards...maybe it's a problem of cookies on the part of the forum goers.

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? ...

The way I do posts on the forum is by writing the entire thing regardless of the character limit, copy it to the clipboard, delete everything but the first line, and then paste it. I've occasionally erased posts this way, but it's better than writing "long post incoming, please wait 30 minutes", and the entire thread grows 5 pages before you finish.

But the limit is really about trying to keep posts concise, and you can do this in Japanese. In English however, often the person you reply to eats 800 characters, and thus it's incredibly obnoxious to reply to a thread where multiple quotes are involved.

My replies tend to be either short, of if I'm being detailed on something, literally right over the 1k mark to about 1800-ish characters. The only time people really need to worry is if they're typing many huge paragraphs, or posting an idea or something they had into the forums.

Just be glad it isn't twitter on the character limit. I'd have gone over that by now with my post.

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.

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!

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?

I just hit the 1,000 character limit in a thread in the General Discussion sub-forum with a post of 1,088 characters. Has this actually been increased?
