No limit in the system, however, the Wizard FE limits the size of the command you can actually enter. The maximum is 1024 characters I believe - that's for a command, not specific to room descriptions.

Other Front Ends might have their own maximums but usually it's much higher than the 1024 limitation the Wizard FE imposes, which I think is mainly due to concerns in regard to Simutronics' IFE limitations.

Someone gave me the suggestion Zmud and that limit is even shorter, and suggestions of another client that will allow me to put an unlimited 1billion character description in? Mr. Green

i'd strongly advise you not to have a description even 1024 characters long, because at that length noone is going to bother reading it.

Thanks for your insight, now do you have a solution to the problem?

trevor already told you what to do. find an FE with a longer character limit.

there's a good enough list of window FEs here.

I just verified that MUSHclient (www.mushclient.com) will allow at least 5000 characters of text to be sent as a command. However I will ask that you don't go insane with descriptions or any other commands. I'm not going to throw out an arbitrary number, just use common sense.

While Yaru's probably right in that 1000 characters of text in a room description could be annoying and/or too much for most people to be willing to read, it is your home and we haven't imposed a limitation so obviously we leave you the freedom to decide how to build it.

re: zMUD, that may have been a change between versions or something. I use 4.62 and just sent 14,400 characters (literally flooding my screen with the echo) through without a problem.
