So has SE confirmed this with what they said at the Vanafest?

"History is about to be made as the level cap will be increased starting with the version update scheduled for this summer! The increase will take place in stages until the new maximum, level 99, has been reached."

If so that's cool. Up until now its been speculation from 90-95.

No 99 has already been confined. The cap will increase to 99 in June.

The *** is this thread?

No, it was not the dumbest not-April Fools joke ever. It is happening and there is an established timeline for it.

Also, cap's only going up to 80 in June. Won't be 99 til December.

Maybe this, they said 80 in June, but they never said 99 by December. They're raising the cap 3 times in the 3 updates this year. They might go June=80 September=85, December=90, and then raise it to 99 in the successive updates in 2011.

Hmm. Good point, didn't think of that.

Your timeframe is a little compressed.

So, er.... here's a stupid question. When our level caps increase, will the cap on our NPC adventuring fellows increase as well? Just curious, I haven't heard anything on fellows being increased so I was wondering.

Sadly that'll have to be done separately as they're still stuck at the limit of 70. Although it would be logical to at least let em go up to 80/85 so they're still useful but not OP.

Looking like I was right about that...

I just realized that SE never stated anywhere that december will be the FINAL level cap increase. To assume that the timeline theyve given us covers the upgrade to 99 just because they announced said final level cap in the same news is common mistake.
Id say Hypnotizd is totally right, my guess would be further cap increases in 5 levels per update until we hit 99 sometime next year.

I WAS wondering what the *** we would fight with a big jump to 90, then 99... so from a developer stand point it makes total sense they would milk the cap increase to 5lvl increments.

5lvls per major update gives them times to tweak/adjust old zones, make new ones ect ect.

Plus milking it out will keep ppl from instant-abyssXPing their favorite job to 99 then quit to FFXIV lol.

Now if ppl want to see what power lv99 yields, they will have to wait till next year to find out.

Speculation is speculation

Might be 80 > 85 > 90 > 99

We have no idea what is going to happen..but it would make sense for SE to keep "milking" the lvl increases as much as they can...expecially if it's $10 for each one.

You don't even need to buy the expansions to increase lvl caps, unless they made the quest in a new zone. That would be lame though.
