    Experience points needed for leveling... lowered?!

    "The number of experience points required to gain each level was originally calculated after considering players' effects on the world of Vana'diel as they progressed beyond the initial level cap of 50. However, a considerable amount of time has passed since the implementation of the final cap of 75, and players beyond level 50 no longer have the same influence on the balance of the game. After a close review, the FINAL FANTASY XI development team has decided to reduce the amount of experience needed for leveling up after reaching level 51 (levels 1-50 will remain the same, however).

    The update will affect the following:

    -Experience points lost due to KO.
    Starting at level 25, experience points lost after being KO'd will be 8% of the amount needed to reach the next level. However, this value will never exceed 2,400.

    -Currently accumulated experience points.
    At the time of the version update, if a player's currently accumulated experience points exceed the number required for the newly adjusted level, that player's experience points will be reset to one point below the number needed to gain a level.

    New content and system-related adjustments are under constant consideration by the FINAL FANTASY XI development team to ensure a balanced playing experience in the evolving world of Vana'diel."

    I am...so happy...too. I wonder how big the change is going to be. I doubt that it'd be anything drastic, lest they piss off those people who had to grind to 75 (hahaha, Mik ).

    That is quite possibly the most exciting news I've seen in the last year. I'm glad I waited so long to make the plunge into 50+ lol.

    I say its good if you are below 50, for people each level higher, they get $#@%ed over more. There are also more higher lvls in this case(maybe..maybe not) so more competition for HNMing and maybe high level gear. That in case will skyrocket prices for higher level goods for a while at the very least, while maybe making older gear more commonplace and cheaper. If i remember right the census showed that the ratio to lvl 65+ players is extremely low compared to others, i wonder how the census would be on the next one. Not to mention how will this affect Merit Points? Will you be compensated? This might or might not be a good thing, and frankly i feel its more of a buisness move to lure people back to FFXI since WoW is its next biggest contender, kinda funny how Return to VanaDiel is around the corner with this too.

    EDIT: There might also be slobs in the game that look down on others reaching lvl 75 through this new system and think they are more l33t than you. Hopefully this wont turn into a Pre-Patch ONRY fest. =/

    Wasn't met with much joy in my ls, at present the noobs from my noob days are currently at qufim/kazham. With this news it'll only be 3 or 5 years before they're lvl 75 war/whms, blm/drks and Drg/Drks.

    Cutting down on a few hours of exp-ing per level isn't going to make that big of a difference.

    Nonetheless people are already bitching about how theres going to be many higher leveled players and how the HNM scene will grow worst, not to mention they say of the lack of high leveled places to level up for merits.

    No, it's not really fair to me or my two friends. We have high level jobs and we get no compensation for our time that we spent; at least, that's what they say. I don't really mind it, but I see where they're coming from and I don't think it should be like that, necessarily.

    Agreed. And just what Wyllius said, most of in my LS really don't like the news. *_*
