| limit | limite | Grenze |

However, this is incorrect, as {limit}{Break} sends a message to a Japanese player to please limit the amount of time they spend away from the game. {limit} by itself translates to "genkai," which is the word Japanese players typically use to refer to these quests and also the source of their nicknames of "G1" "G3" etc.; {limit}1 or perhaps {limit}{Quest}1 would suffice, and {Break} should be avoided. | |||
