Its not realy a bug but when you send a long message (something I seem to do alot ) it gets cut off at the bottom. It seems to be if you go past the given frame to enter the message.

This does not happen on the forums. So is this meant to happen?

The main time this happens is when replying to a message as the old message can take up alot of space.

This is due to message size limitation for ingame messaging system. Forum messages has limitations too (8Kb), but this is quite hard to write message for 8k - so, possible, you will never face this limit

Is it possible to remove the limit on messages, or make it bigger like with the forums? Its just that almost every message gets cut off, expecialy when planning detailed attacks, or replying to a message as the old message takes most of the space...

I guess it is nessasary to have a limit to limit memory use, the forum limit is a good size (I did see it when we were writing storys )

Thanks

Technically it is possible, but code is frosen for change (to do not add bugs)

Oh, ok...you were saying a while back that if someone wanted to continue DQ:E development for web then maybe that would be ok.
Maybe I could do some things to help, just start with a few simple things to get used to how it works, and then do a bit more complex stuff after.

There are lots of suggestions on the suggestions forum also that may be possible to add...

I have been reading quite a bit about this recently, check my post in Off Topic > DQpenspace thread:

http://www.dqempires.com/cgi-bin/mlist?fid=13&tid=963&page=1

I will also start a new thread in Off Topic named 'DQ: Empires further development?' about it.
