It's set at the current size to stop people creating lag - apparently one of the things that has to be downloaded to the client before you load a grid is the full text of the bio of every pilot on that grid. I wish I was joking, but I can't support this idea as it stands, and fixing this properly would probably involve a disproportionate amount of work.

text that creates lag... right... not sure what you understand under a few kb of text causing lag, i mean... it's a lot less then most data that needs to be transferred. So, think you need to rethink that one ;)

This is Eve we're talking about. More ridiculous things have happened. I think I read that explanation too.
Perhaps they are not only downloading all the text, but at the same time pre-rendering it? So lots of color and font changes might make it even slower.
Of course the solution is reducing text, not fixing the engine... |

I think the colors and fonts (when possible) needs to be stashed on the user pc by downloading the latest patch. This way it should solve that problem for most part. Although, you are right about the engine, it shouldn't get fixed, it is not broken. For reducing text, well, perhaps it might be a better thing to change the bio entirely.
Perhaps we all should be allowed to make a wiki page instead with our profile, then we can indeed decrease the bio in size. Of course change a little so there is a direct link to that person's profile. This all together should stop people using the full sign length with all kinds of colors all together. Sure will be a lot less laggy for sure.

I just hope World of Darkness is not designed at all like EvE on the technical level.

I'm not going to dig out the relevant patch notes for you, but if you go back far enough you'll find the patch containing the bio length nerf. I agree that this is something that one would not immediately expect to be a major source of lag, but that was the explanation given at the time, possibly in the thread accompanying the patch notes.

Well, I was bored:

Originally by: Patch Notes, under Exploits
Character biographies have been shortened from 4,000 characters to 1,000 characters. This is fix an exploit where players would create lag for others when biography data was sent to other players.
No thread attached, though. Perhaps someone else is even more bored and digs that out too? |

Personally, I'd like a match.com type Bio. I want to know the gender and romantic interests of the people I'm shooting.

CCP have already stated on numerous occasions that they are reusing a large part of the core EVE code for other games, presumably including WoD.

That's fine as long as they change the important parts to something more robust and less serial.
