- The Level Cap: The level cap was 250 (introduced in v140, Rising Heroes).
- Damage Cap: The "soft cap" was 2,147,483,647 (2.147 billion). The "hard cap" removal patches were still a year away.
- The Meta: Damage was heavily dependent on Character Cards, Link Skills, and Nebulites (which were still relevant).
- The Bosses: The toughest bosses were Hard Magnus, Chaos Vellum, and Chaos Queen. Lotus (Black Heaven) was the newest end-game challenge, but v146 focused more on preparation for the upcoming "Shining Star" event.
This era also introduced the professional system and better reward structures, making the game feel more rewarding for "Free-to-Play" players. It was a time when reaching Level 200 was a prestigious milestone but no longer an impossible, multi-year labor, striking a balance that many modern players feel has since been lost to "daily chore" fatigue.
