As the title says, has anyone tried increasing the party limit in the dll? e.g. Increase it from 6 to 8, or 10?

Was this ever pushed any further or was the party size investigation put to bed?

I remember someone had got it increased but it had caused some other issue and they were trying to figure it out, but I had forgot all about it until earlier today.

The closest I ever came to this was not in editing (don't know how). But years ago I was playing on a small board. They allowed unlimited accounts and I was basically the only player so WTH, why not. I would make a party max it out. Then in the 2nd party one of the people I would invite was the leader of the first group. The original party still followed that leader. Just couldn't see everyone in the group for health. Surely someone else tried this?

Yeah this was common for mod 9 things. Biggest issue is rooming on a pvp board.
