Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / gaming lingo | | English term or phrase: cap out | There has to be something interesting for people to do when they want a break from their main character, have "capped out" between expansions, or just want to see how the other side lives.
Does that mean that they were forced to leave the game between expansions? |

| | alles abgesahnt | Explanation:
In that context, "capped out" means that their RPG or MMO character has reached their maximum potential or highest available level, and the only way for the character to advance is if the game developer releases an expansion pack that increases the ability for a player character to advance. I am giving you a very colloquial translation, can't think of anything better right now but I hope the explanation will help you find the perfect term. |
