Level cap increase to 150

  • Experience points after level 120
    All experience points that you have collected until now will be kept and level 120 players who have collected a lot of additional experience points will instantly get set to a higher level. You can find the full experience table here to see which level you will become and how much experience you need to advance to further levels: http://wiki.the-west.net/wiki/Experience#Experience_Table
    Of course you will get new skill and attribute points for each level up again like you did previously.
  • New items
    We added hundreds of new high level items to the game that can be found or bought at the town traders. Plus new chests will become available that also contain these items, these chests will be found in the UPS. There are of course a bunch of new rare and named items for all those collectors too.
  • New Quests
    Three new quest lines are waiting for high level players:
    Call of Zuma (Requires level 105)
    Lone Ranger (Requires level 115)
    The assassination of Jesse James (Requires level 125)
    Furthermore, there are many new daily quests that will ask you for the products you can obtain from doing the new jobs in the middle county of the map.
  • New jobs
    With 2.08 and the level cap raise the middle of the map has been revealed. A whole new area is waiting to get explored and the best part about it: 20 new jobs can be found there and only there. These new jobs give higher rewards than all other jobs but require more labour points.
  • Other information
    A new page has been added to the Hall of Fame that shows the first players who reached level 150 on each world. The town traders max level will be set to 15 (Tailor/General Store) and to 20 (Gunsmith). Town builders, get ready!

Features and improvements

  • Improving the visibility and User Interfaces of fort battles.
    • Being a member of a town is no longer a requirement to attend a fort battle
    • Players do not have to stand at the fort's location to register
    • UI element for all planned fort battles added
    • Pony express notification for fort battles added
    • Chat announcement for planned fort battles added
    • Several other small Interface improvements
  • All Holiday and Event quests are limited to a certain time frame again. Quests can only be accepted and finished within a time frame that is now shown in the quest description too. The reason for this change is a technical change that we had to do in order to be able to have repeatable versions of all holiday quests so that you can play them every year. That also means that you won't be able to finish the seasonal and event quests that you have accepted already after the update! Best you complete them this weekend.
  • New "Mini Shop" design for users with small screen resolutions.
  • Job durations balancing adjustment: The 15 second job now only costs 1 energy point but will give a lot lower rewards while the 10 minute job will cost 1 energy point more and gives a little bit less rewards, also the 1 hour duration rewards have changed slightly. I will explain this more in detail in the discussion thread.
  • Main Story 5 (The North, the South and the brunette) starts right with the update (Requirements are level 50 and having MS4 completed).
  • Gold Rusher Event Quest line starts on the 23rd and can be finished until the 29th (Requirements are level 10 and "Save the Saloon 2" finished).
  • "Remove friend" tooltip in chat is now only shown for players on the friends list.
  • Level based bonuses on items now show the absolute values.

Bugfixes

  • Updating the pickaxes in the job window when changing labour points didn't always lead to the correct results
  • Town invitations can be seen in the town hall again
  • Message in animated duel window for bounty fetched was missing
  • Achievement 50059 was reseted when migrating a character
  • First purchase bonus missing translation

We are expecting this update to hit us on Wednesday (22-01-2014), but due to some last minute changes this date may be postponed.

I will announce a definite date closer to the time.
