Level caps are always an intriguing topic in MMO games, representing the simplest and most compelling way to gauge a player’s power level, and many different MMOs each have their own philosophies on how to best tackle the subject. Games like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14 choose to increase their level cap with the introduction of new expansions, while games such as The Elder Scrolls: Online and Guild Wars 2 instead opt to keep the player’s level cap stable while providing other avenues to expand upon their power. In the simplest of terms, one prioritizes a horizontal power progression, while the other prioritizes a vertical one.

Despite the current level cap being 60, the journey for most players does not end there, as the game allows players to progress in their power level in a linear way through bettering their equipment – of which the current gear score maximum in New World is 600. Though the game’s progression as it stands is suitable, some players wonder if New World could make use of bonus level systems that would offer tangible, yet balanced rewards for the players who fill up their experience bars past the level cap.
New World is available now on PC.
