"UBS"Totally disagree.

If there was a cap, all the ultra hardcores plum / chinese ect would be like lvl 130-140 god knows what and be so ridiculously far ahead of everyone else it would be almost pointless for the average joe to play.

So what? Did you just stumble accidentally into a mmorpg? Isylver can keep bumping up rested xp for the lower/mid levels.

Your never going to compete with people that have the time to invest so compete with the people around your level. You don't have to be max level to contribute in a big pk battle or a gvw.

If you can't swallow that pill then don't play a game that is time = win.

"HYPNOS"A reasonable level cap is required to keep the game alive. By all means you could make it a hardcore race but eventually people would give up. For the longevity of the server the level cap needs to be kept reasonably in reach for the average person.

If you want soma to still be going strong in months / years to come, the game needs to be tailored towards gearing at cap rather than just level. (Which is what test server was and why it successfully lasted so long)

Lets face it, if plum or the chinese were still leveling at the rate they were at the start of the game, the vast majority of players currently playing wouldnt even tickle them, gvw would be dead and probably demotivate most players. Level cap does not need increasing for a long time considering there are only like 5 or 6 not piloted / chars bought off ebay at level 100.

"UBS"^
Is what I am saying wrong? If there was no cap, would the chars i mentioned not be so ridiculously far ahead of everyone else?
Cater the game to the hardcore and you lose your mid 70-90+ players. Thats what happens will happen if cap is raised too early.

If you want something to do push for more content that level 100s can play with and gain advantages in terms of gear / items, not raising the level cap.

If you want the game going strong in years time, it needs to be aiming similarly towards warcraft where its about items at a capped level (Yes caps do raise every now, but its all about items)

Cater the game towards the majority not the minority.

"WALTJR"Caps should be removed. Rested should now be made free up lvl 70. Half how fast you gain rested after lvl 100. No rested after lvl 110.

Then these scales can be pushed forward as needed.

Its better to slow those at the top down and speed those at the bottom up rarther than just having caps.

"ISYLVER"Language! Seriously you're all very passionate about the game but sort it out.

Can everyone please stop saying "What SHOULD be done". Ultimately every player within this thread has a view/suggestion which will benefit their character (bias).

Anyway, there are some quality posts and most are correct. However, I feel that it should be a balancing act.

1) Cap gets lifted when enough hit the cap (multis, pilots exempt from this for obvious reasons).
2) When we lift the cap we'll approach speed of gains from lower monsters based on a tangent i.e. Dire wolf becomes double speed but Hoarde Shanis get a 10% increase.

This is what will happen, when it happens is for the team to decide.

Multi's and pilots never prosper you'll just end up at the cap quicker. You allow your enjoyment to die out by doing this not us.

It's basically the equivalent of splitting an ice cream between 3 of you then complaining you're all still hungry.

tl;dr Eat your own damn ice cream and it'll last longer.

And that is how you shut up a multi children :D

"IPHIOS"You should - There's a good wave of new players coming up.

Merc isn't the busiest but you aren't exactly there for long so don't let that deter you.
