Currently bookmarks are limited to 13k. You can still install more then that but no longer make your own unique ones. Some of us have well over 15 to 20k. Since a good majority of us have characters that have been in the game for 3 or more years of course we would end up getting to our limit one day. I'd like to see an increase to 25 or maybe even 50k so people can once again get back to making more.

Really? For the love of God...why would you possibly want that many damned bookmarks? You got every POS BM'd for every system in EvE or something? How about instead of asking CCP to increase an already insane number even higher, you actually do something about it yourself and clean house?

Not saying I won't support it...it just baffles me that someone would need, let alone want, that many bookmarks.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

No, not every POS in EVE bookmarked. I have gate tacticals for almost every region in EVE. When you live in Null Sec as long as I have you tend to collect bookmarks and will end up having them for everywhere you have gone and lived in. Honestly we have seen more people hitting these limits. This is why.

And no I'm not going to "clean house" on a collection of bookmarks that have taken me 6-7 years to make.

Shame you can't export your bookmarks so that you can just load them up as and when you are living in a new region.

You can. Just copy them then drop them into a can. Sadly the cans only hold 1000 per. After that it will tell you that you have hit your limit. Then you have to do that more and more. We are talking about 1500 per region or so. Including the hour it takes you to remove them and the 5 to 10 hours it takes to re-install them.

Just asking for CCP to give us more room. How much would it take to actually allow this!?

Trouble with that idea is you still need to carry the can around with you if you want to use the bookmarks again.

There's already a facility in ship fitting and market to export to a file held on your PC, so why not have that for Bookmarks?

Then you wouldn't care too much about the limit as you could load the Bookmarks on the fly.

Just a thought.

I'd sure as hell like an efficient system for sharing them between alts, is it unreasonable not to want to copy a few thousand bookmarks, in a horrendously laborious fashion, for each character I use?
