    This is not an important suggestion, but I would like to put it out there.
    I would like to see maybe a small character increase on nicknames, if possible only affecting skygods. The reason being is this:
    When a skygod chooses to use colour nicknames as per our perk we become at a disadvantage when selecting names and how we colour them.
    If anyone does not know by now, colour codes actually count as characters in the name (2: the & and the letter/number).
    EG. In my current nickname, i have 3 colours and that means 6/15 characters are to select colour. If I were to try to colour my full ign with 3 parts: the krissy, the underscore and the punk part, I end up going over because of the colour codes: 11/15 for the name but 6/15 for the codes becomes 17/15 characters.

    It is a small thing as I said.
    The only con I can see is maybe colour overuse since we do have coloured prefixes if we chose. However 5 extra characters, I can see, will not be a huge issue.
    If you tell me that nicks are to shorten your ign and extra character will not help this, please note im suggesting this for skygods only. If this cannot be given to skygods only, then I see the concern.

    If this is impossible to achieve as a suggestion do say so.

    Side game: count the times krissy says colour in this thread :t

    Even though I'm not a SkyGod, I could see how it would be frustrating to not be able to display your whole name AND your colors.

    Support :p

    my User Name is "RiseAboveAll". That alone is 12 Characters. That allows me a (maximum) of 1 color if I decided to change the color of it. Seems rather odd. Considering, we used to have roughly 25 characters allowed for a nickname? I understand back then, a few players abused it while making it extremely long, however for skygods it is an issue with low-character sorting for their nicks.

    Just wanted to drop this here;
    The length a nickname can be limited to is in Essentials and looks like this:

    # The maximum length allowed in nicknames. The nickname prefix is included in this.
    max-nick-length: x
    (Replace "x" with any number)
    So it is totally possible. :p
    I'm just posting this because when this exact request was posted previously, people kept saying how it wasn't possible and it's a minecraft limitation thing.
    So there ya go :p

    I was thinking: why does org get significantly longer nicks. Kinda hit me that they dont get coloured prefixes. But its not like people can see colour codes (the actual & and the number/letter) so it wont look spammy :/

    I support. I see many skygods complaining that they cannot fit their whole nick because of color codes.
