Fun fact, if you link a stack of 256, you don’t print anything at all, likely because it’s an unsigned 8 bit value, so 256 = 0. You can’t link nothing!

And since 256 equals 0 (8 bit unsigned):
256 + 244 = 500
→ 0 + 244 ~ 500
→ 500 ~ 244

I wonder how much money Anet saved by holding the data as 1 byte instead of something bigger (an int, perhaps). And how much will they have to spend (in work hours) to convert everything to a larger data type, bug-free.

It’s not the storage the issue. If it were people would be missing stuff. It’s just the chat link format that doesn’t handle it yet.
