Okay, okay, I'm sure this isn't a priority for anyone. I guess I'm just having trouble understanding what the level cap is even doing in this game. Going up levels is fun. Someone being level 100 would be crazy. What's the downside?
They don't have to have a hard cap to limit the number of levels. The iMG to level could increase faster the higher you go to make leveling exponentially slower.
I'm not sure if there is an updated iMG-to-level chart, but IIRC it went in small increments for most levels, with doubling at the multiples of 10. That could be changed above 60 to use an exponential function, which would create a practical barrier without imposing a hard limit.
I think removing it would be good. As it is right now levels gives the feeling of completing the game at max level. What would be cool is if there really wasn't a max level and players could play on without having to worry about hitting it.

Is that weird? Probably, but more likely I have had too much sugar :)
Oh, I realize that levels are going to be exponential so there will be some level past which further leveling becomes less than feasible, just not straight up impossible. Things that can't be done because no one can manage to do them are great, things that can't be done because there's just a rule that you can't do it are a little lame.
(I'm also extremely sore about level caps in general since I think they are taking a lot of fun out of a lot of games)
The level system is doing whatever this is :) Also, good to hear about the cap going away when we relaunch! I look forward to seeing how that will look numbers-wise! I hope I can get to where clare was before, even if the numbers won't match up ;)
The formula for the amount of img you need to get to the next level is a bit hard to nail down precisely, but it's pretty easy to set an approximate upper bound for the amount you'll need to get to level 101: 376M and change. Just think, you'll already be over 6% of the way there!
Better start saving those chicken eggs (approximately 5,000 full SDBs worth).
WOOT glad to hear there's talk in TS of removing the level cap!!! I was coming here to support the idea and was sooo thrilled to see a staff response. <3
Can't wait!!
Not that I'm that high a level.. it's just nice to know there won't be a limit (or at least probably not)... because I don't know what I'd do if I hit the cap. :s
