That's understandable, I'm not sure I know exactly what it's doing myself. But it does look like the client gets the information as text and sends it back to the server as integers.

For example, I made a link to a silver jasper ring (item 14628, 0x3924 hex). The link gets the item id as a string "03924", five bytes long: 30 33 39 32 34. When I click on the link, it sends the item id back to the server as a 4 byte integer: 24 39 00 00. The same thing happens with the augment ids. That means that the highest id # it can deal with is 1048575 (0xFFFFF).

So if you try to just fill it with whatever characters you want, it runs into trouble with anything other than 0-9 and A-F. I'm not sure exactly what it does, but when I forced the alphabet into the link string, I got back bytes: AB CD EF 00 and the zone crashed. The same thing happened whenever I used letters after "f". If I filled the evolving and hash areas with letters higher than "f", the link still appeared purple, but clicking it didn't send anything to the server at all.

If we can figure out exactly what it's doing to the other bytes, we might be able to work around it and use them, but right now I don't even know what it's sending; the zone crashes in the middle of the packet dump.
