Maximum Packet Length is too low for SignNew Packet (47) #259

Description

@lost-werewolf

The character limit for signs in Terraria is 1,200 characters.
Spamming unicode characters or even filling a sign with normal characters can exceed a packet length of 1,000 defined at:

...which can disconnect a legitimate client.

An exception could be made for signs, since spamming 1,200 unicode characters could result in ~3000+ length.
If this shouldn't be fixed, then feel free to ignore this issue and/or close it. It breaks vanilla behavior, but it isn't that important - realistically, there is no reason to fill a sign with over ~500 characters as it cuts off in-game.
