I really hope your right with the level cap increase, I will be straight on this forum reading all the complaints with me tub of popcorn lolI'm willing to bet there will be a level increase if the bosses follow the pattern of Carrowmore DL bosses. here is why:Except there won't be a level increase in the 6th floor.Stopped at 221 because using plat items beyond that is a waste, especially considering new floor is around the corner.
1) Unox is level 215
2) Each boss goes up by 5 levels, which means that the last EDL boss Proteus on the 6th floor will be level 220
3) The last DL boss Snorri is level 180, and Mordris is level 190
4) This tells me that Gelebron is going to be level 225 or 230, because the main boss is higher leveled than the last quest armor boss.
5) that means that there will be a level increase on the 6th floor.
*Bonus* If the mobs go up to 230, there are people that are going to try to push it to 240 because skills will go up another 5 points. At 210 you can put 45 points into a skill, and skill points go up every 30 levels. So that means that at 240 you can put 50 points into a skill.
On topic I don't think players have really quit, more of taking a break. Iv took breaks from this game several times for months at a time but I've always come back. It would be crazy to play the same game over and over for years.
