On the mud I Imm on, <CENSOR>, a Smaug MUD, we are trying to encourage the player to start RPing. They complain that the normal max character length for emotes, and other channels, are not enough to truely role play. Their wish is for me to extend the length so they can freely emote to their hearts desire. I, and many others, do not feel that this is needed to RP. We have had many RP sessions where the current max, the default, is sufficeant to seriously roleplay.

Those that want the length increased argue that it isn't possible.

Those that don't feel that the increase is needed don't want to spend a few minutes reading someones four to five line emote that basicly says "the wind is blowing through my hair".

In conclusion, there will always be those that want longer and longer emotes to "truely cover the feeling of the moment." There will be those that believe long winded emotes are just that, long winded.
