We need some more discussion on this topic.

Due to how servers work, this may have trouble. Also, this could confuse users new to making multiplayer games.

How would it confuse new users? It's not likely for them to code an entire cloud multiplayer games if they've been on Scratch for a week or so/

Mate, please note that that user posted that post over a month ago, and they likely don't need you telling them what to do as they have probably forgotten all about it.

Sure, why not?

This is a really clever suggestion. Shut up and take my money!

Wow, that's a new way of looking at it.. Support! I think how this would work is the default would be the way it is now (with max. 10 cloud variables) and there would be a menu for cloud variables that you could open when you right-click a cloud variable and select a new option “Open Cloud Menu”. There you could change the max of cloud variables along with how many characters in each. There should probably be fixed options, because not every number is a factor of 2560

• 1280 vars - 2 chars*
  
• 640 vars - 4 chars
  
• 512 vars - 5 chars
  
• 320 vars - 8 chars
  
• 256 vars - 10 chars
  
• 160 vars - 16 chars
  
• 128 vars - 20 chars
  
• 80 vars - 32 chars
  
• 64 vars - 40 chars
  
• 40 vars - 64 chars
  
• 32 vars - 80 chars
  
• 20 vars - 128 chars
  
• 16 vars - 160 chars
  
• 10 vars - 256 chars
  
• 8 vars - 320 chars
  
• 5 vars - 512 chars
  
• 4 vars - 640 chars
  
• 2 vars - 1280 chars
  
• 1 var - 2560 chars
  

*I'm doubtful about the first one… since who's going to need more than a thousand space-taking cloud variables with only a very limited 2 characters :P I already left out 1 char for the same reason… so :P

These should all probably be in a drop-down, since laying all these out would take way too much space :P Probably one of those drop-downs where you can scroll and select it, or type it in and the valid options come up, where you can either type it out or select it. And, of course, once you select it and click save it'll save, and the new restrictions would apply.

The only problem is if you already had more variables or characters in the variables than the new restrictions you selected. Maybe then a popup similar to the ones when delete a variable or custom block when there's still instances in use, saying to clear out that space before changing the restriction. To help make this easier if you have a lot of variables or characters per variable, the popup could state how many variables you have if you have too many, so you can do the math, or point out which variables have too many characters, so you don't have to search each one yourself.

“Due to how servers work” what? I see no reason to be so ambiguous unless you don't actually understand how servers work. Also, how is one 2560-character cloud variable more confusing than ten 256-character ones?

support, as always there is a workaround, but who wants to have to make everything a workaround
