And that's exactly what I'm afraid they'll do, and exactly what would be very very bad.
Seeing their progress on the kitin lair so far, I don't believe this dev team has the manpower to really add several new level 300 regions within the next year. Okay, so maybe the kitin lair will be level 300, so then you'll have one little corner of Atys that's actually appropriate to a level 300 player, while all the current highlevel content becomes easy to them. While all the current purple bosses and kitin patrols can be killed by just 3 level 300 players. They would actually make even more of the current content useless to the "endgame" players that way.
Unless... unless they 're-level' the current regions... it'd be relatively easy to turn Enchanted Isle into a purple zone and then turn Loria into the new level 300 zone... and do something similar for all the other continents as well.
But even then raising the level cap still only presents the new players with an even higher mountain to climb before they can really play along with the high-level events. Like I say, I like the Ryzom skill system exactly because even casual players can have one skill at level 250 in relatively little time and then have enough raw power to at least compete with the powerlevellers. For some of us, that 'relatively little time' was already a year and half; imagine if we needed another 50 levels... I wouldn't enjoy needing two and a half years of playing before I can actually even hit an event kitin.
And to quote a guildie who's unsubscribed and thus can't post here:
