I am just curious as to why there is a level cap and if it is a permanent feature. I searched the boards for previous queries on this but could not find any info. Any help, my thanks to you. And sorry if this is a dead horse question that you have heard before.

No word on when it will be raised. I know at one point in the distant past (ok distant for this game IE 6 months ago) the devs said that eventually the cap would be increased. I know a number of regular players that are looking forward to this day. Most of us who have level 100 characters now are playing with alternates to pass the time and of course enjoying the quests that I didnt have the first time through.
