31/1 - Characters' max level is increased to 250!

As a level 200, I must admit that it feels way more enjoyable to play a character while it gets EXP, even if you don't train it at all and just getting messing around. After getting to lvl 200 on my hero, doing anything with it felt so pointless as there was no more growth.

To each his own.
After getting 200 on my Hero, the only thing that became pointless is grinding, which was hardly fun.
I still enjoy "messing around" on it, doing only what I enjoy, and watching my personality traits, damage, medal count, and quest count, grow. Others grow their mesos or their Azwan honour. There's plenty of "growth" that is unrelated to level.
(Not to mention that there's plenty of fun that is unrelated to growth, like chatting with friends or helping guildies).
