    Awesome news for all of you Borderlands junkies out there. Though there aren't any firm details out yet, Gearbox has confirmed on its message boards that the next add-on for the game will include an increase to the level cap. As someone who has been sitting at level 50 for months, I would classify myself as "stoked" about this information.

    Here's all that we've got so far:

    Sorry, I haven’t gotten to post on the forums in a while! After finalizing Zombies DLC, the team and I began reading the DLC feedback around the forums on the wants and desires. Guess what, level cap increase anyone? Got it and it's awesome. Hopefully we can get a full announcement out to you guys soon but, man is this the biggest DLC we have made. So don’t worry, we are working really hard right now on both the update (that solves a bunch of issues) and the DLC. More to come guys!!

    You heard the man, there's "more to come." Guess we'll have to sit on our hands and wait for the full announcement.

    Level cap increases are always good, until you spend hours frantically trying to hit it.

    ...? What's wrong with raising the level cap in a game that's based around leveling up?

    @supermike6: Huh? You misread what I was saying. I'm saying it's stupid to put super low level caps on the game in the first place since it is not an MMO and doesn't require you to pay monthly. Just like how a limited number of lives in videogames doesn't belong unless it is in a coin operated box.

    Third DLC pack...increased level cap... Seems they are following a very successful formula. And I'm glad they are!

    I played that game to death ( I got 3 LV 50's). But I don't know if I want to buy more single player DLC. The potential for some really great multiplayer has always been possible for this game, ie not just playing the single player campaign together. I'd love to see some proper Mulitplayer DLC that requires you to work as a varied team for specific tasks.

    I'm up for an update that fixes stuff, this is full of good news. I give them 2 years for a sequel, so DLC is fine for a while. Heck, it has only been 3 months or so.

    I know what you mean! I was simply stunned when I got to level 20 in my pc version of Fallout 3 and suddenly wasn't getting anymore xp from kills. I was baffled, until I finally found out there was a level cap.
    Luckily though, it was on pc. I just googled "level cap mod fallout 3" and got rid of it.

    Come on Jeff. Don't pretend that you won't go hit the level cap straight away as soon as you switch it on after downloading it. Then you'll be sitting at 60 for months.

    YYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS!  I need a solid reason to play more Borderlands again, and this is DEFINITELY a good reason!!! 
     
    I just hope that they make it a significant level cap, like to 70 or 80.  That's be the bee's knees, man! 
     
    Also, SPOILER PICTURE ZOMG!  -_-  If anyone doesn't know that T.K. is totally a zombie by now, then they aren't that into Borderlands in the first place...which is goddamn sad.

    @ThatFrood: Yeah, Fallout 3 was the first game to really slap me in the face with its level cap. But I wasn't really affected since every other facet of the game itself failed to live up to its predecessors. I simply stopped playing and forget about it every time up until somebody mentions it.

    Hop the DLC is worth playing, rather than Moxxi. Love the game, never going to buy the Moxxi DLC, even for the points.

    This is the right direction. i notice Moxxie isn`t even seem mentioned, i just do not have any interest in playing it to completion. it just wasn`t the level cap, it was the no gain in weapons. And it was literally using sex to make a sale, virtual and only at that. As wierd as having the hornies for Shodan. (On your knees and assume the position, you pathetic insect!)

    Cautiously optimistic here; I LOVE Borderlands, it was my GOTY.  However while Dr. Ned was good (but not great), Mad Moxxi was really, really disappointing for all of my friends, and pretty much turned all of us off of the game.  Definitely will be looking at impressions of this first, but hopefully it's a step back in the right direction.

    Hell fucking YES. This has me very excited. I just hope they add new skills or come up with some other way to keep the game balanced rather then simply increase the cap with nothing else.
