Why Raise the Level Cap Again?

It was Everquest Online Adventures, and it too lasted almost 10 years.
Would of lasted longer if they would have given more then just the raiders something to do
besides repeat the same leveling content over again for the 8th time.

I've just assumed the reason they didn't release a HM of KDY and have said there won't be HMs in 2.7 for the Korriban/Tython FPs is that they're holding them back until the level cap increase. Between those three, Colicoid War Games and Red Reaper they'll be on par with the amount of HMs that were available the last time the level cap increased.

Well going from 55-60 wont exactly kill too much content really now will it ? You will still be able to do the old content all the way from 55-60 and even level up again in the process. The only thing this minute level cap increase changes is it will bring in new content , but most of which will be spread out over the next year or so. Now if it becomes a cap increase of 10 levels then you would have a point. I do think it will aand it will probably be 5 levels again though.

I wonder when it will be , I have a feeling it will be towards the end of the year , but it could be with the release of the second NIM in June , but I doubt it. It does cause me a dilemma though , a personal goal , which was a far fetched one when I planned it , is to get all 16 advanced classes to 55 ( was 50 ) and I have 12 done and 2 almost done. So then , what do I do now , only play on my remaining 4 characters and go for it , or wait and see when the cap will go up ?

Sounds about right to me, I haven't heard confirmation on a KDY HM version, just the ones coming out in 2.7 but it wouldn't surprise me. All I know is that we continue to get new content and loads of stuff via the CM so I'm happy. I've never done player housing so I'm interested in that as well

It's just speculation at this point. They might add NM modes for all FPs but it's hard to imagine they will recycle OPs like they did with RotHC. That storyline is over and the beginning of the new storyline is on it's way with the 2.7 FPs.

Wishful thinking but I would hope for no less than 2 new Ops based on the new storyline with the level cap increase.

Has Bioware confirmed the level increase? And if so, where, please? I have missed this.

I hope you're right about that, because I would see only having one max-level Op going over just as well as only having one full Op at launch did*. Even if there almost certainly will be a TC-style boss too.

Yes at the cantina tour and they added that we will find out more sooner rather than later.

Plus the announcement on the Roadmap:
"Expect to see two digital expansions in 2014 just like you did last year, with one similar to Galactic Starfighter in scope [this is almost certainly Strongholds] and one more closely resembling Rise of the Hutt Cartel."
Seems likely the RotHC-sized DLC will include a level cap increase, especially given the comment at the Cantina Tour.

EDIT: BadOrb beat me to it.

Probably we are afraid we will just get new rehashed old flashpoints with maybe only 1 or 2 new ones like they did last time.

Basically well just have to regrind doing a lot of the same content again, much like we have been doing.

Hard mode red reaper wouldn't be something new.

As far as pvp goes, no gain for PvPers at all, they just end up in obsolete gear the have to regrind once again with only 1 new warzone.....huttball, that would be really frustrating because pvp gear has been updated and outdated too any times already
