You just delayed it another two years. I hope you're happy.

Delaying something that was never coming in the first place, what?

It's coming, the production time is just getting pushed back. Like Duke Nukem Forever. Or the Phantom Gaming Service.

Or half life 3, or Black mesa

Speaking of which....

GABEN IS A FATASS!!!

I just delayed Hl3 another 2 weeks.

This kind of implies that they might raise the level cap. Didn't think they'd actually do it.. hmm.

What you'd expect from a boss which is probably going to be even stronger than the strongest one released, which currently is Cygnus.

This kind of implies that they might raise the level cap. Didn't think they'd actually do it.. hmm.

this was said at the last Q&A

Qn: Will the level cap of 200 be raised? And will there be more bosses?

A: We've always been reconsidering the level cap and it will be easier to level up after BBP and we will consider raising it. Updates will be more focused on our loyal players who are higher level and will include more bosses and maps.

Qn: If the level cap is increased, will there be a fifth job?

A: Yes, but there are no plans for the fifth job at this point in time.

They are definitely thinking about it either way.

If they haven't changed how the EXP is stored (2,147,483,647 max) and they keep the 6% increase in EXP per level. Looks more like a bonus occupation than fifth job.

 Theoretical EXP

Level	EXP to next
200	1,171,492,101
201	1,241,781,627
202	1,316,288,524
203	1,395,265,836
204	1,478,981,786
205	1,567,720,693
206	1,661,783,935
207	1,761,490,971
208	1,867,180,429
209	1,979,211,255
210	2,097,963,930
211	2,223,841,766
212	2,357,272,272

An unsigned int is capped at 4,294,967,295 not 2,147,483,647.

But a signed int is not, which everyone thought it was as the original L200 EXP was 2,121,276,324. If it's unsigned obviously they have a bit more room to play with...

222 | 4,221,515,618
223 | 4,474,806,555

But a signed int is not, which everyone thought it was as the original L200 EXP was 2,121,276,324.

"Everyone" is an awful broad generalization.
Have you ever seen your Exp go negative? If not there's no reason to believe it was using a signed int. Or to even believe the type of int it has today has any relevance to the future since it can be changed fairly easily in both client and database and an unsigned long allows for 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

Does losing exp from dying count as negative exp?

Did your actual XP value drop below zero or did it stop at zero no matter how often you died?

But then why is there a meso cap of 2,147,483,647? I've never seen anyone with negative mesos. Sorry if it sounds like I'm arguing; I'm just curious, and ignorant.

Because they put it there and didn't see a need for it to be unsigned when they never thought players would actually reach that amount in the first place and then haven't felt any reason to raise it.
What's that got to do with anything?

The limits of one field have nothing to do with the limits of another unless they're the same data type, and even then logic capping those values below their max threshold, like HP and MP stopping at 30K or stats stopping at 1000 make them all separate cases.
