Heey,

My suggestion is simple, please increase the character limit in clans. It's just way too short and it's annoying. The limit is 80 while in private chat it's 255 (I counted so could be a few off). I heard this limit was shared with friends chats and public chat for some reason, but that should be increased too so that's no problem. There really is no reason to limit the character limit so much. Really annoying when you're trying to have a conversation.

And having conversations is what your clan chat is all about.

Please increase this. Same as you did with private chat a few years ago.

In private chat this would fit in less then 3 lines.

gonna say no support for the fact that who cares if its interrupted, make it shorter for your point or just deal with it,

however if its super easy for a jmod to change to allow more, then id rather it be like 150 pm's can be way too drawn out and having a cc fill my whole chatbox with only 3 peoples typing would be very annoying

I don't see a particular need for this; whereas in a private message, it's just you and the other person talking so it's okay to take up more than a few lines, in a clan chat, the char limit is to help you be mindful of others having the chance to be heard

As such, no support this time, but interesting suggestion nonetheless :)

As someone who is in a very social clan (which Ferenc is always guesting in, so I totally understand where he is coming from :P ) I completely agree that the maximum length per line of text needs to be raised at least a little bit for clan chats. More often than not, when our clan is having a really good discussion people must take up multiple lines to convey their entire idea. In the mean time, between each line someone else has said something. This causes the conversations to occasionally become very hard to follow and they get confusing very fast.

Since the maximum length is already longer for PM, I can't imagine it being too difficult to increase it for the clan chat. And I'm assuming that, since the chat goes away after a certain number of lines or after a certain period of time, this update would not add any additional stress on the game engine since the same amount of chat would still be stored. If anything, I would imagine that it would cause less stress on the engine because there wouldn't be so many people sending messages at the same time if they could get their complete idea into
one message.

Tl;dr: I completely support the idea!

9.9/10 times people won't hit the limit. I never hit the limit in pm myself. This means you don't have to worry about your cc being to 'spammy' or taken over by 1 person. When i have more then 1 conversation in my private chat i have no problems reading all of it or 1 person taking over all the space. Other games also have a much bigger character limit and i never have any problems on there too.

80 really isn't enough. I don't say it has to be as much as in private chat but 80 is just too limiting and it's really annoying. Let's at least change it to 150 instead of 80.

Clans are to socialise in, we really need this!

I don't really see the need for it, myself. Like Vivy mentioned, it's understandable for private chat to have a much longer character limit than all other chats since it's a 1:1 channel.

If it would be increased, though, I don't think it should be anywhere near 255. Maybe 100-110 if anything. :P

I don't see many long messages in a clan chat often but can be annoying sometimes. If it is an easy fix I support, if it does need some long time to code maybe the mods better focus on something else :) Ceecs - leader of Ceecs Clan

Maybe people dont hit the limit because they know it has to be made short, so i dunno i think thats quite a good point made about if the limit was increased then people would start making things longer and therefore chat could fill up a lot faster.
