So what do you think the level cap will be raised to with the expansion pack?

That'll depend on the amount of experience needed per level more so than the actual amount of levels.

It'll mainly be dependent of their long-term plans for the game. How many expansions do they want to introduce, what level do they want to attain at maximum. What figure sounds not too daunting for newer players who join in late? Back in the old days of MMO's games tended to cap out at 99, 120, 150, or even higher. For newer players this sounded like a steep climb to make, just to get to the fun. And games tended to be left aside.

Just for that I wouldn't be surprised to see them go by increments of 5. Ensuring that e.g. 8 years from now the level cap is not much higher than 75 or 80.

Didn't mean forever, just said the fact i didn't read that on the link... ^^;
I knew 3.0 should have lv increase. I think, it could be increased to lv100.
Otherwise everyone will cap all jobs on the next day.

add comment:
I read 3.0 would have lv increase on the letter from producer

That's strange, how are summoners going to get all of their egis if we all only get one new ability? I know they said every class is being updated the same in terms of amounts of new skills and they probably don't want to give every job three or four (depending on if they would give a Mog-egi) new skills, but I personally think it'll slight summoners if for whatever reason they can't summon each of the primals as an egi. Though I think they did say summoners and scholars are getting the biggest changes when the expansion hits.

I wonder too if they'll be increasing our player level to increase our base stats and to get new skills, yet gear will stay at level 50 and the ilv will just increase. It would let new players catch up quickly (which SE seems to favor) and even though it doesn't make sense, SE has made some... questionable development choices.

Yeah, that's what i said! Level 100 would be a legendary move...

This site states it will be a potential increase to item level, not level.

OVER NINE THO-...

Sorry, wrong universe.

I think I'd actually prefer it if the lvl cap stayed at 50, and the iLv just continued to increase. iLv pretty much accomplishes the same thing anyway.
Long-term, it makes it easier for new players to get into the game and get to endgame without such a daunting amount of lvls to plow through.

Anyway, I read YoishiP said "However, at the least, I can tell you that the level cap will be increased" ^^;

Q: In a previous Letter from the Producer LIVE you mentioned that you might be making changes to the class/job system in 3.0. Can you tell us about this?

A: Right now there is no information I can share. However, at the least, I can tell you that the level cap will be increased and in addition to the growth granted by increased levels, there may be a few other changes in the future as well. There definitely won't be any large-scale changes to the system you've seen up until now, but there may be some aspects with new elements that don't follow all of the current rules of the game.

ah, i apologize for missing that, so we CAN expect the level cap increase in 3.0 , however that's a long while off yet ^^

IMO, it was more difficult to lv up previously, then it added roulettes exp bonus and the log book for easier exp,
I think upon lv cap raising, level to 50 would be much more easier than now.
TBH I tho i-LV was the extension of char lv by design intentionally, but YoshiP said no. ^^;
