Prepares to watch the masses complain about never being able to even obtain level 60, yet continue playing.

The level cap will increase to 65. Those levels will have inherent benefits much like previous levels. However, they will not be exactly the same. The rate of advancement in character levels is designed to feel more natural and not take the punishing time commitment required between 51 and 60. We understand the frustration that painfully long levels can cause, and hope not to repeat that experience for players.

JOY!!!

Righto, who wants to place bets on how long it will take for the first person to reach Lv.65 once PoP is out?
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Bleh someone in an uber guild will be 65 in 1 day probably.

Yea being a 60 druid I solo elysians in Umbral Plains gain about 1 AA Blue bubble per kill about 1/3 a blue per kill regular XP sense they added the new XP bonus for higher mobs. With nothing but planes the mobs will probably be all 60 so XP will be insane if you can manage it.

Bitches about never being able to get to level 60.

Didn't want to let you down.

I give it 2 months.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

I'm guessing it'd probably take a week of solid experience hunting to get from 60-65.

If you fight post lvl 55 mobs right now the experience is incredible even with a 6 man group.

Went to Dragon Necropolis and fought the rats for about 3 hours in a 6 man group and got a full AA.

If these are going to be just normal levels, then wouldn't you think that they would add more than 5?

Edit: Found this interesting as well:

quote:
Level advancement is closely tied to Planar Advancement. The systems compliment each other. Planar advancement includes extensions on the Alternate Advancement system, along with new abilities for all classes. Advancing your character is a combination of traditional leveling and advancement through planar abilities. Players who enjoy pure leveling can do so, and people that prefer a combination of level advancement and investment in specific abilities can do that as well.

Actually the way it sounds is that you can only gain levels 61 through 65 while in PoP, the levels are permanent but you have to move through PoP's storyline to get there.
Or there will be a new planar alternate advancement, and leveling up is one of your choices.
