Do you believe this would be beneficial?

My apologies if this has already been requested, but the search is apparently not very functional, so here we are. The existing character limit of 14 is sometimes just too small. Could we please have it increased? Ideally, 25 characters would be wonderful, but as it stands just about any increase would be nice.

Yeah. I wanted to name one of mine Rainbow-Lightning, but I couldn't. Voting in the poll.

@mishababy @uzi

Are you referring specifically to creature name lengths? Or username lengths?

Let me know. Ping back.

At the moment, creature names are limited to 14 characters because that's the average maximum characters that can be displayed on creature images.

If this limit were raised beyond 14 characters, any characters beyond this point might not be displayed on creature images.

How would you guys feel about that? Or do you not care that much about that stuff?

Yup. I started this with the creature names in mind. There are several longer names I wanted to use but can't because of the low limit; I figured I couldn't be the only one.

Editing: If that's all that can be displayed, then perhaps that should be reworked, as well. I want to see my creature names and wouldn't have a problem with them being more than one line. Something like that may or may not be difficult to code, but I'm sure it's not impossible. =)
