can anyone tell my why my characters are all level 30 ish when they were max level in 2010 when I stopped playing ? I have not payed much attention since I left. I am seeing some information about a " lvl Squish " but no real explanations. Thanks in advance.
Because you didn’t level them to the new max level each expansion? So they’re still the same level they were when you stopped playing. Which is equivalent to level 30 now.
Ok so they were a 60 or 70, and that is equivalent to a 30 in the current game ?
ok thanks
Ya, blizz squished the levels.
In the last expansion (BFA) the level max was 120. In preparation for Shadowlands (current expansion), Blizzard readjusted the end game level and stats. All the characters were reduced in level and power as a result to compensate for the new end game level max.
Yah the max lvl now is lvl 60, so for example some of my toons were lvl 60, and now they are lvl 25. So blizzard scaled the old lvls down.
On top of this, there is a new feature called chromie time in the orgrimar embassy, and i can’t remember where it is for alliance, but it allows you to pretty much pick wherever you want to lvl for the first 50 lvls of the game. So have fun.
I see. Thanks all. Much appreciated.
