Maximum characters in books?
-
Anyone know, precisely, what the maximum number of characters that can be added to the descriptions of the blank books?

Explanation of the system, including character limits:
/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90488Unfortunately whatever you put in the book isn't likely to stay there very long thanks to the disappearing description bugs triggered by the bag dropping that as far as I know haven't been fixed yet: /forum/viewtopic.php?t=11 ... ing+system
I'd suggest to just put a title (that does stay put on death) with a reference to a forum post that can be searched on. Something along the lines of "Of Mice and Men (201109071301)" then put the body of the text in an IC forum post with the same title (the number is the YearMonthDayHourMinute of writing, which has a reasonably good chance of being unique and is easy to generate yourself.)
If you don't want just anyone to read the book-text, you could encrypt it and put the relevant password in the book (and in a PM to yourself), so you'd just have to remember to put the password back in the body instead of the whole text..P.

just dont put books in bags and you wont have a problem. If you die, tell whoever it is that is gathering your gear not to put your book in bags/boxes.

Hmm, mine usually got wiped when the death script copied them in the 'pack' that you drop when (almost) dying. Didn't matter if they were in a bag or not at all. I really hope that's fixed..
