Level 300..., Lotta EXP Options

[Birium]

Now, as we all know, Episode III has increased the EXP roof to level 300. Let's take a gander at how much freaking EXP that is.

Let's use the equation a/b = b/c. A equals the EXP required to reach 100. That's 2.2 million, so...

(2,200,000 EXP) / B = B / C

I'm going to go off on a loop and say that Episode III is going to follow the EXP roof for 200 on GC. So that's 83 million.

(2,200,000 EXP) / (83,000,000 EXP) = (83,000,000 EXP) / C

The variable to solve for is C. Now, the EXP required for 100 increases exponentially for 200. From a quick calculation on Windows Calc... that's 37.27 repeating. 83,000,000 times 37.27 equals....

3,093,410,000 EXP.

Now, that's if they don't change the formula, so don't get too scared out of your gourd yet. There might be different methods of gaining EXP on Episode III. After all, we are in trading card land. To check if the formula is accurate...

(2,200,000 EXP) / (83,000,000 EXP) = (83,000,000 EXP) / (3,093,410,000 EXP)
(2,200,000 EXP) / (83,000,000 EXP) = 0.0265
(83,000,000 EXP) / (3,093,410,000 EXP) = 0.0268

Eep. Menacingly accurate. So 3,093,410,000 EXP may be the new EXP roof after all.

My current PSO theory with this is that we have all been overzealous in interpreting the PSOep3 info.

From the beginning, it has been indicated that there is no "normal" PSO on the EP3 game disc. You can still use the same character data, but you must use a different game disc to play each game. Since 200 is the max limit on EP2, how would you be able to gain levels beyond what the game lets you get, just because your character has EP3 data on him, too?

After it was revealed that your character now carries a "card level" to indicate your skill in card battling, I got this idea. Maybe this level can reach L300, and this is what they have been talking about the whole time, but we are too stupid to realize it? This level is kept separate from the Character level on EP2, and makes much more sense than those extreme experience amounts that post 200 levels would assuredly require.

Of course there is the possibility that since Ep3 has ben in development since the same time as Ep2, Sonic Team left "hooks" in the Ep2 software that would enable level 300 once your character had Ep3 data on him. If this is the truth, then I only hope that there is a secret "super ulitmate" difficulty to help gain the mad exp we would need.

EDIT: I was just perusing the EP3 FAQ at PSOW, and it says the max Card Level is 300...soooo I guess I was right!
