The final surprise is here! You've asked us about it for years, including last Friday at the trivia event, and we're making it happen: We've increased the level cap by ten levels! The max level is now 75, so you'd better get out there and get some more points! Our engineers are still deploying it, but it should be done soon.
Please use this thread to share your thoughts on the [10/10 Would Play Again](http://www.kongregate.com/pages/10th-anniversary) event, as well as some of your best memories of Kongregate. :)
Thank you so much for these past ten years, Kongregators. We appreciate all the games you've made and the games you've played and all of your time shared with your fellow gamers. We wouldn't be where we are without you. You rule. <3
Love,
Kongregate

What lvl am I now due to this increase?

I'm still at the level cap, yay.
Using the extended level script, it's 100 for me anyways.

The event has been great so far and I'm looking forward to what's still gonna happen (especially the game tourney). I could write a big ass post, but I think it's best to keep it short instead:
Thank you, Kong. <3

Same! I was going to try to hit 65 before this happened, but then I realized that was just unrealistic.

About time, Thought I was going to have to find a new site to play when I reached max.

Now once people reach level 75, they will all say "increase the level cap again"!

Already level 75, increase the level cap again pls
No but seriously, cool stuff. Once I'm less tired I'll comment more on the surprises.

when i load your profile it switches from 75 back to 74 due to the level extension script. So that actually lowers your level now.

Well yeah, but at least the max level club is more exclusive now.
Anyway, here's my retrospective: I really enjoyed that this event focused on the website and the community. There were a few times in the last couple of years that I've felt Kong was 95% focused on mobile and microtransactions, and just left the rest of the website around to do its thing. In the last year though, and through this event, it's felt like you guys are coming back to the site and trying to re-energize it, which is great.

i'm kinda mad, tbh.
i was getting close to the goal post and then it's been moved on me.
65 was a stretch but doable
75 isn't going to happen
oh well, i guess i'll stop trying
|
|
|
|
|

meh... and I'm only 1k points before level 65...
i'm giving up going to 75 for now.

Guys level is not the real goal, %badges is. You can get level 75 without ever playing a game or even visiting the website, so it only sort of matters. Badge % can't be faked. That's my opinion anyway.

You don't really need to be super active anyway. BOTD's account for a lot of points, even if they are only worth 5-15 each, but they reward badge hunters and completionists. And if you are Lv 65 already, you should have earned at least 5 BOTD's per week before in 99% of all cases.
That's from a pure gamer's point of view. Major developers with high ranking games and a strong fanbase are a different thing altogether.

I don't understand why people say getting BotDs earns you many points. Most of em are easy badges, only giving you 5 points extra. :x
|

Yes and they add up. Let's say 5 Easy badges and 2 Medium badges per week, that's 55 extra points for logging in once a day over 7 days.

Yea I agree, Kong needs to do more stuff like this.

One subtle way to advertise P2W games is to badge them. Which should not be overdone because these games are usually in the spotlight anyway (developers pay Kong for that).
Gamers love challenges that aren't timed and don't cost extra. These "Best of 20xx" medals are great for example.
