FFXI Time Plan for 2010

**Andromeda** · 02-28-2010, 05:09 PM

Well in addition to the update for Vanafest they also announced a nice timetable for the plan for the 2010. The most interesting thing on the time table is the removal of the job level cap for all Promathia areas. Which just stunned me for a minute.

June will be the first level cap increase along with the level cap removal for Promathia.

September will be the second level cap increase.

December will be the third level cap increase.

Where was this when I was still playing? All the crap before this was garbage. I even came back to the game multiple times and since I had never done CoP, I could never get Rajas because nobody ever wanted to do it.

Sigh.

Yeah, I always got stuck on CoP 4-2 I think it was where you have to fight the Mammot that job change during the fight. I always ended up wiping on the party. So I never managed to get past it. So it'll be very nice to be able to breeze through the BCNMs. It'll also be nice not need stupid low level gear for the areas. You can go and do underwear runs without any trouble anymore. You could probably solo the fomors for them since it is like a 30 or 40 cap area.

Note that they said they're removing the cap on the areas. The missions, I imagine, will still be capped.

That's PM 2-5.

You think they'll still cap the BCNMs even though the area up tot he BCNM won't be. If they're removing the whole level cap on the area that should for the BCNMs to or what's the point. The travel time will be easier sure, but it is not like the travel time was very hard to begin with. It's the BCNM themselves that was real challenge.

At least the areas in the crags will be a lot easier to traverse at the very least. But the bullet points are all still very vague. So we won't know if the missions are uncapped or not, but I really wish they were. I'd like to be able experience the story of Promathia, but its so difficult to find people willing to do it anymore.

And PM 2-5 huh >< So annoying, its been years since I even attempted that mission.

I believe this might be the reason why they're removing the level cap.

To combat camp concerns; addition of new areas to EXP in, addition of monsters in previous areas, and CoP areas “level cap” removal.

So these might become normal areas to exp in, up to higher levels than they used to be.

Yeah new camps will be required and with a large bulk of the population at this holding at least one level 75 job. There will be hundreds per server if not thousands of people looking to party up and level their jobs. Over crowding of areas is going to be a nightmare. Still hoping for level cap removal on the missions.
