WoW Gold News
Dear WoW players, you can currently reach up to level 120 in World of Warcraft, but a survey sent out by Blizzard suggests that the maximum level of 120 will be reduced in the future. As noted by PCGamesN, World of Warcraft players might find that their characters are going to have their levels permanently reduced. Keep your eyes on Raiditem to get more WoW information, also, you can buy cheap WoW gold and WoW items from us.
The idea was mentioned by game director Ion Hazzikostas in a developer Q&A last year, but it sounded much more theoretical at the time. Here's what he had to say back then:
"It's something we've genuinely discussed and considered because, yes, it's daunting for a brand new player who's reading about the game, who's hearing about it from a friend who is like, 'I have to do how many levels before I can come do the new thing with you?' And even though the levels take this fixed amount of time and it's not this months-long journey to get to max level, it still feels like a really big number and it also means in practice you probably do go more levels than you probably should between getting new abilities and getting new talents. A lot of those problems could be alleviated by simply squishing levels as a whole."
He went on to explain that the complexity of a level squish had prevented them from doing one thus far, and they also had to consider the potential effect on players who might log in, see their level has gone down, and feel like they've lost something even if the actual abilities they have remain unchanged.
Hitting level 120 takes a long time right now, of course – especially if you get there by unconventional means – but a rebalanced take on the game with a lower level cap won’t necessarily reduce the time players are asked to put in.
Of course, until Blizzard confirms this and gives us specifics, there’s always the possibility of this being a poorly-worded survey, or the result of a miscommunication – but we imagine there will be more to this story in the near future.
