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

I really, really have no idea why they would increase the level cap with NOTHING else. For the next whatever amount of time a level 250 is mechanically the same as a level 200. Why would they do that?

And furthermore, why are people still going to race to 250?

People can get a head start if they want to. Look at how many people leveled past 70 or 120 before 3rd or 4th job were out.

I think if they put EVERYTHING into 1 giant patch, it would be a giant overload of content. Think if that happened in GMS and how many potential bugs, exploits, hacks, etc could happen. If I'm not mistaken, we had a giant giant patch once before and it didn't go too well.
