Max level? Experience needed to level?

So I just decided to download the latest backer build 0.6.72 after being on 0.5.34 forever.  Got through all the re-do your history stuff, from "schooling" to "starting hair color, eye color, etc."   However I can't quite figure out how to level up.


I'm not sure if the max level is still 7, it doesn't seem like it because my XP used to be hard capped at ~4.7k.  I now have 53,869 xp and am nowhere close to eight.  Are the next levels really so far away or is something weird here?  It seems really odd that I wouldn't level to 8 after being level seven with max-capped xp after a fight.  It also seems weird that level eight would be like 250,000+ xp away.


Has leveling changed so much or is seven still max level and it's just letting me collect extra XP?

Level 8 is currently the cap. Experience progression was dramatically altered in a recent patch, though. According to my spreadsheet, 409,600 EXP is what's required to reach L8.

Great!  Thanks.  I was just worried the file upgrade broke something somehow.  Knowing that's intentional sets my mind at ease.  I appreciate the prompt response. :)
