More aliases

On my wizard I am running out of aliases even for the spells I cast somewhat frequently, having to constantly swap between them. This doesn't seem like the type of issue that should be confining for the player, so I'd like to see it expanded (at least doubled, preferably more). Not sure if this is a hardcode issue

What client are you running? Aliases are usually easier to handle clientside.

zmud, but I play from multiple locations including on regular telnet interface from a public computer in a pinch, I'd prefer not to do it clientside.

I would support a bigger alias list in-game.

Me too please! I run out on all of my characters, not just wizards. though it is worse for them.

Best suggestion I've heard yet, definitely could use a higher cap.

I completely agree with this. The alias list could definitely use a boost. I do use the built in alias in Zmud quit a bit though. It is great for the aliases that most all spellcasters get, like bulls strength and bears endurance and the alias works for all characters so you do not need to use your in game alias list. A really big help when trying to thin out what you have.

I am in Isolrem's situation (playing from a public computer most often) so I would like to support increasing the in-game alias list, too.

I referred this to Mask because it is something of which I am totally ignorant.

Isolrem, could you lay out the situation and your specific proposed changes so that I can send that along also?

Well, the current alias list is capped at 40.

Others have reported a shortage of aliases in general, but for my case in particular, my wizard currently has 53 distinct spells memorized, so I could not have a shortcut for every spell even in lieu of aliasing for other commands. I think increasing this size to 100 would solve most of my problems.
