Yea my request was because without a char limit it was possible for someone to make an RP statement that scrolled out of the viewable chat window, and because of the way they had their chat scrolling set up it was possible to lose parts of RP.
The chat box automatically scrolls however many number of lines the last post was, so if the last post was say 5 lines long, your chat box scrolls up 5 lines, if it was 3 lines long, it scrolls up 3, etc. Especially concerning when you consider other conversations, zone chat, and trolls/goldspammers/etc.
In any event they have resolved the char limit issue, now if I can just get them to remove the stupid [] brackets on emotes and make it so we can toggle off the automatic visual emotes I'll be quite pleased (No I do not want to automatically jump up and look at a map when I'm trying to remember the name of someplace while sitting around a fire RP'ing thank you very much)
