Blizzard's fear of level 100

Necro....
Anyway, some of the fears mentioned here seemed to have been well justified; like how those five more levels went by very quickly.
And who da hell do you think you are?
Lore sucks? We've killed men for less.
Easy Atik, easy. We'll just... Breathe... calm... calm... inner peace....
DIE!

3. Levels ARE stored as a 2 digit number. The amount effort it will take to change cannot be expressed in linear time.
Rejected, level is a number of byte type - 256 possible numbers counting from 0, so 255 is max

Can anyone give me a reason why they can't add new non-lore related stuff to the game though instead of putting pointless stuff like necroo cry cry or geeky computer jargon.
You mean besides the fact that lore IS the game? All the normal fans (those are the ones that care about the story, BTW.) would complain about the game becomming stupid and childish. The game would lose sales and it would be a bad business move.

Can you give me a reason why they should?

False, levels are stored as an 8 bit number, which means the number can range from 0 to 255.
Furthermore, on any modern database system changing an int8 to an int32 shouldn't cause any catastrophic failures anyways. There's no technical reason to the restriction of the level cap for any reasonable number.

I don't know...could it because the game is actually lore driven; without the Lore of the Alliance vs Horde conflicts, PvP wouldn't exist after all.

The game was created by geeks for geeks, and geeks demand a story, a reason for collecting 8 Goretusk Livers and fishing up 12 Gafferjacks. We just tolerate others to keep company revenue high enough to fund the game.
If you prefer games without a purpose, may I suggest Pong.

Another problem? Its not just 100 but at what point will they start to combine x-pacs? If we get to lvl 100 with 3 more, how many people will end up buying up to 6 x-pacs at 20-30 a piece. Yes, you only need Vanilla to start, but then its still like $30 to get BC, and after maybe a couple of weeks, if that, you'll need Wrath, and so forth. And after the xp nerfs by then, it my take just a couple of days. I know, I know, people are buying 4 happily now, but thats because most people already have the 1st three. For a new player, its kinda high and expensive. I know a lot of WOW players, but I really haven't met any that started playing really recently. Some that quit and came back after a long hiatus, yes, but brand new, not that many. ( but as a disclaimer, I dont have many friends :-(, lol )
You have obviously never seen the battle chest,
WoW + BC for $40
Soon to be updated to WoW+ BC + WotLK for $40
And I will bet any amount of money shortly after the next expansion we will see WoW + BC + WotLK + Cata for you guessed it $40.
Non-Issues Solved. You're welcome

At level 85, a Mage is able to
manipulate the space-time continuum
. What sort of reality-shattering spell should be given at level 100?
And replicate that across 9 other classes. Should Warriors be able to not only cleave their opponents, but the said opponent's yet-uncreated alts? Druids can transform into a flying shark 12-feet high that can also carry up to 3 other players? Instead of the normal 4 elements, Shaman can pick a combination of any elements from the periodical table?
It's madness, I tell you!

You know what i think?
100 level is cool level. Because its three number number. It makes epic feeling and i think it fears them.

i think it based off the battle chest set lvl 1 - 10 ie 1 - 100 so far its bin that all along for lvling ! i thougth timeless was it for 95 lvl but their going for 10 lvls cool more x to kill for xp ! i thinks they learn five lvls just dont cut the musturd! chaos was awesome but when frozen came out it rocked!(##RESPBREAK##)2060##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##I'm fine with this being revived as it is relevant to the recent expansion announcement.
