Fuck dude, how the fuck-- Okay wait, I think everyone gets my point now.

 

[Miruyasha]

omg hes 75, he must be rich, maybe he will give me a pl! or some gil!

Don't forget that the cap wasn't always 75. It started at 50, then after RoZ came out (if memory serves me right) they raised the cap to 75 and introduced the "5 Steps of Hell" a.k.a. Maat quests.

 

[Legomyeggo]

They gradually raised the cap, I think.

 

[Miruyasha]

Ah, wasn't entirely sure. But the main point is that the cap wasn't always at 75. People at 50 were the uber leet ones, glad I wasn't around for that.

I remember a time when RMT were just three random letters in the alphabet, not the economy-controlling dickslaps that have infested our servers.
