I have just had my second birthday in Eve, it crept up on me with barely a notice until a sudden realisation that i am two years old hit me and forced me to celebrate in a way I have never done before by coming to the forums and posting my first post. I have enjoyed my progress so far even if it has been up and down I have learnt alot and realise one thing more than anything else that i have so much more to learn.
I have lived, died and been reborn many times I have journeyed to null sec fought in other peoples wars and visited wormholes to be coldy podded and sent back home. I have travelled widely amongst the trading lanes of commerce in high sec trying to avoid being attacked by pirates and brigands and as yet have found no home amongst the stars greater than where I first began my journey in the melting pot of jita 4-4.
I have now encountered a problem which i can do very little about. I am sure that older players must have come accross this as well. I have filled my biography up with not room for a single more charcter and I feel that I have so much more life to tell. While some choose to put in helpfull information into the space provided in their biography I seek to provide a little insight into my own journey towards space riches that just seem around the corner of opportunity.
I there fore seek every ones indulgence and ask for a place to continue my story, so I ask CCP to provide more room for the biography maybe extending it a little each year to further the recording of space adventures for otherwise these precious moments of clarity could be lost to the forgetfull memory of a two year old.

Unless they can make biographies with unlimited characters there is no permanent fix for this.

Perhaps condense your story for the in game bio and add a link to an external page for your full epic journey.

Even if it doesn't have unlimited characters, expanding it a little (or a lot) would make a big difference. I don't see why we can't have room for several thousand characters in our bio.

Maybe we could, but if someone is writing their story, the longer they play, the more space they need. Its only a matter of time until a few thousand characters is also not enough.

I think biographies are important and is one of the first things i look at to learn about another players play style. Personally i enjoy the epic tales that are told throughout New Eden but having read the replies i can see that a link to an external source may be my best bet for now in extending my own tale.

Just put a link to your priv page at FB or whatever your choice is where you would offload and kept all your cool stories bro
