Cap 125? :D
No.
Their last really big update was Cap 100 in 2009.
Most of the dev team left in the middle of the development of Cap 110.
They got replaced by stutents and people who were new in the buisness.
Just take a look at Cap 100 and Alexandria. While there are a lot of new things there is also tons of reused stuff like mobs, textures and so on. It is pretty obvious that something has happened during the development of that update. And whats happened is the replacement of the developers.
Then take a look at Cap 120. The whole "Mirror Dimension" is a copy of the low level europe area. Most mobs have been copied as well. They changed some stuff here and there but thats it. There really is nothing new.
The whole area around Bagdad is pretty much like Alexandria. Some new work. But also a lot of reused stuff. Now you might ask: Did some old devs came back? I would say no. The reason why I think that is pretty simply. Let me explain: We all now that Joymax always planned to release a third race. There always have been the rumors that this race is focused on Islam/Arabia. But at some point they rejected that idea. Nevertheless it should be pretty obvious that they had some concept arts and probably even some first models for buildings and stuff like that finished for the new part of the map. So what I am thinking is that they used reused the whole Bagdad area which was most likely planned as a low level area for a third race and transformed it into a high level area.
And now we are at a point where they ran out of old content that was made by the old dev. Thats probably the reason why it took them ages to release Cap 140. And all we got again are really bad designed areas that have been copied two times. The one is blue and called "Ice Temple". The second one is red and called "Fire Temple". Well done Joymax. Well done. Not.
Besides that they forgot to update the ingame map. As you may no you are able to find mobs on the map. That feature is not working for new mobs. They also ran out of ideas and placed the stupid NPC in the middle of Taklamakan. There really is no sense behind that. There is nothing there and suddenly a stupid NPC pops up in a low level area that allows you to teleport to the new area.
The idea behind this is probably to get high level players into low level areas. So low level players will see al the great stuff high level players are wearing. This should lead low level players to invest money into the game. I mean. It sounds funny. But Activision actually owns a patent for that. So it acutally is a thing. The patent itself is about putting players who do not invest real money in a different (opposit) team than players that that buy stuff with real money. Of course the players who do not invest money will be owned by the players everytime. Which should result in the player to also invest real money into the game :D Nevertheless it would be far more easy to remove the level restrictions from the teleports. I never understood why they were there anyway.
