    Suggestion: The limit of 5 people in a conversation should be raised, to 10, and the gold limit to 30.

    Reason: Personally, I'm running Transparent Toaster Inc. The company is getting larger, and I can't invite everyone to a forum conversation anymore. It's extremely annoying to want to tell 6 people things, and you can only fit 5. Also, the server population is getting larger and larger, this is why we need an increase.

    Any Other Information: None.

    Hello,

    We have a forum limit increase system aka Forum Gold that raises it to 25.

    I was unaware of this...

    Why is the gold limit 25?

    I still think the normal limit needs to be raised, since the gold limit is 25, I could settle for 10.

    One of the few perks of the gold is the raised limit. That and you have a 1,000 size inbox, which personally sounds fantastic. I don't think the regular limit needs to be raised, I think more people need to consider getting forum gold. It is certainly on my list :D. I have to clear my inbox out frequently because I hit the 100 limit weekly.

    I never have more then 10 in my mail, usually 3-4. But you are a super mod and you must get a lot.

    I still think 25 is a low limit for gold.

    And I still really need more then 5. It's a low limit for normal.

    I really don't understand why there is a limit at all, it's a PM, I never need a limit to the number of PM"s i can send in-game.

    Well, I don't see it being unreasonable to ask for 10. I wish you luck in your suggestion. :D

    There is a limit on group conversations so that trolls do not go around and send messages to large groups.. Or as far as I can tell, that is a reason.

    However, maybe a 10 limit for non-Gold users and a 30 limit for Gold? Overall I think 5 is good and people should invest to get what they need. The community is steadily increasing, though, so maybe an adjustment could work.

    I'd like it increased myself too, but I want to mention something. Not everyone has a credit card or Paypal or pre-paid card etc., and not everyone can even try to get those. So forum gold is not possible for everyone and thusly the non-gold limit should be increased at least a little bit.

    I'd like to see this but to be honest it's probably easier to use Skype since most people have it

    You could always buy Forum Gold through another player with ecodollars, therefore it is in fact possible for everyone.

    I like the idea but feel that it should be kept as it is to encourage users to buy Forum Gold and help the server. Though perhaps a small limit raise is a good idea.

    You can't, forum gold requires access to the account.

    Oh, well then I think there should definitely be an increase, or even a way for it to change so that access to the account is not required.

    I had thought of that, but trolls can be stopped after one or two attempts. Tbh, more people they add the faster they get reported.

    And I can't invest with 5. I can only invest in five. Not higher. And the community increasing is also a grand reason to add this.

    I don't use skype at all, although I know a lot of people do. As always more forum traffic is good. So we need more people using this function.

    Going to bump this again. I still think it needs to be added.

    And I would like to hear more feedback.

    I agree, I had to send the same message 3 times because I was trying to talk to all the members in my town. I think it should be raised to at LEAST 10. The cap is extremely tedious sometimes when you're trying to get the word out to multiple people.

    But, I do think you could donate for Gold via other members of ECC offering donation features. I haven't experimented with this myself, but you could probably change your password before the transaction, and once the player donates you change it back. (If that's breaking a rule tell me, I just think it COULD work)

    Is it possible redeem gift cards/credits for forum gold? Seems like you would be able to.
