True, its probably because of the Chibis, which added +5 max level, and the release of Genesis which added +15 max Level for the player. Something might be wrong in the server config. Would be cool if they fixed it.
I like the upcoming balance changes a lot, but please wipe beginner servers and readjust the max level limit to 39 or 44 in the config. The servers used to be full every time.
