Fuck yes more TH for me. And DW3. Sadly, Innin won't be to useful because nobody can keep a fucking mob still anymore.
THF/Yonin Eva though, shit might end up broken.

But fuck, 24 more levels of THF. That shit was torture back in 2005. I need to blackmail some invites, don't want no THF LFP shit.

How much do you want to bet to get to 99 you're going to have to get as much exp as it takes to get to 75 twice

not even that. Remember when CoP first came out and people were stuck on Ouyru for FOREVER (damn I lost like 80k xp to that guy). That's what the lvl caps are going to be like.
