Why is the maximum of recipients of our PMs of 10?
It's not that much.
I'd suggest giving us a max of 20: it'd just make big things like contest/mafia games/clans/etc. talk easier to each other while still preventing massive spam. ;o



None.

Hello

I might raise the max PM amount by tier.
Norm: 10
Reg: 20
Vet: 25
Elite: No Limit (probably 50 or such) :P

Does having the limit set to 1 prevent spambots from doing any harm? Or they can compose messages too quickly for that to matter?

As for the poll at hand, I don't care.



None.

Hello

There is no by us coded "cooldown-time" of sending PMs. I bet IP mainly added this to avoid having a mega-super-ultra-query being run at once :P

I'd stick with a limit, just to prevent someone from maliciously creating a new account and spamming everybody.

If you really do need to PM that many people just copy/paste the message, it's not much extra work, only several mouse clicks and that's about it.



None.

:payne:

I'd personally go for:

Quote from no there are no errors
Norm - 10
Reg - 15
Vet - 25
Elite - 25

But anyways!



None.

Woah

I think it's fine at 10/15/20/25. Time to go promote myself to Elite, I guess.

Pointless.
If I ever need to send a PM to 15+ recipients, I would just copy and paste the PM, make a whole new PM, sent it to 15 more recipients etc.



None.

Woah

So what happens if someone from the first group you PM replies to everyone? The second group wouldn't see it.

It isn't pointless, it's just not necessary for things other than forum games.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
