[quote name='jimbodan']I'm sure there will be monsters I can't beat even at lvl 20, but would I have any incentive to try and beat a godly monster? I wouldn't get any exp for it and if I can't either get exp or try and get some uber equipment from a drop I doubt I'd be fighting many monsters once I hit lvl 20.
Yeah the no monthly fee thing is a major selling point with me, however it's still going to cost me 40$ to get it which is usually much more then I like to spend on a new game.
I really appreciate all the answers you've given me, I'm just not sure this game is for me. I really want to give it a try, but something is telling me that once I hit lvl 20 there won't be any more reason for me to play the game unless I really like PvP (which is entirely possible). I know the betas are over with but is there any chance maybe they will have some other type of free trial weekend or something?
What I think I really want is a free WoW or FFXI type of game and I'm pretty sure this isn't that game. I just wish I could try it out and see for sure.[/QUOTE]
According to GW's website....
"Currently the level cap is set to a maximum of 20. Once you reach Level 20, you will continue to acquire skill points and refund points, but your health and mana points will be capped. At this time, there are no plans to raise the level cap. If we do make a change, or if we have a higher level cap in future chapters of Guild Wars, we will be sure to share the news in an interview, on our various fansite forums, or we will make a post about it on our official site,
www.guildwars.com. Please keep an eye on the site for future updates."
This means you can build your character to the top with insane amounts of skill points, etc.
Higher monsters drop better things, resulting in better armors, weapons, and all that.
