I went to write a review a few days ago and was typing away happily... until it said that I had run out of characters. After much head-scratching, I noticed that the character limit for reviews has dropped from 4000 to 3000.

3000?! Geez! Why did this happen? I'm assuming it's to do with the increased size of the website or something technical like that, but 4000 characters gave me the freedom to write reviews which - in my opinion - were good, as I could cover everything I wanted to. Now I find myself too restricted and unable to cover every aspect of the game.

I have the same problem. I wrote a review a week ago and went to post it (it was just under 4000 chars), so I had to edit the hell out of it and post it.

And then the TS2 review I wrote yesterday, I had to cut 20-30 characters off of it even though it was under the limit. The system is a little bugged.
