If that KMS patch comes here (Which now that it is getting out of KMST there is a HIGH CHANCE) nexon could raise the level cap. Now that the exp to level has been greatly reduced they are able to raise the level cap. The main reason why the level cap was 200 to begin with is under maples first exp formula that was set by wizet (nexon now owns wizet technically because of the way their merger worked so yes now nexon does make decisions but back then it was wizet) the maximum bytes allowed in a 32 bit game was set to be the exp needed to get from level 199 to 200 (other known as the number of maximum mesos you can carry. Which is why unless they get a second currency you will never see an increase to the max number of mesos you can hold.). Now that the exp has been drastically reduced they can change the level cap if they so desire with new EXP amounts to reach levels beyond that. This could even mean more jobs advancements in the future (though I doubt it).

There is that possibility. It mostly depends on how much longer maple remains viable and profitable for them. They'll eventually need to stop releasing jobs. After that, they may look at increasing the level cap.

its possible, but it just wouldnt be fair to the first few people who reached 200 and got into the top 5.

If there is a 5th job, I hope this will include Heros too. Not just adventurers.

I doubt it. Getting up to lvl200 is already a challenging achievement and by then many people would be bored/sick of the character they are playing and create a new one.

If they raise the cap, the current 200s will get the new caps, as long as they make sure 2.14bil is the exp needed to the new cap.

Will people jump levels since they need less exp? They can't just take away their exp can they?

exp from 199-200 was 1.697b (after the 25% reduction a while back) but even now its possible, with the computer capabilities, to have exp up to lvl 250/255 (cant remember) with this curve they could put the lvl cap at 300 or more if they wanted @ jj299 you would jump one level and 99.98% thats what happened when the experience curve was changed before IIRC
