First of all, I'd like to say, that I **did not** see _Log Horizon 2nd season_
, so if answer should contain any spoilers, just direct me to watch _Log
Horizon 2_.

Shiroe explained, that new datadisk was released pretty much the same time as
the [Apocalypse](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Catastrophe) happened. That
datadisk, apart from others, increased level cap to 100. There also were
guilds, which were buying EXP pots from such bad guilds as
[Hamelin](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Hamelin) in order to progress
faster. But, in the whole season 1, I did not notice anyone having level
higher than 90. Is getting EXP such slow (past 90) in Elder Tale, or am I
missing something? I did not even see anyone's EXP bar, but leveling is
definitely possible, since Minori's team managed to get few levels in main
class.

Leveling in Elder Tale


When Elder Tales was first released, the maximum attainable level was 40. It
wwas gradually increased throughout the expansion packs. Before the
Catastrophe, the maximum attainable level was 90.

According to the [Wiki](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page),

It is unclear to exactly how many servers was this expansion pack applied
which implies that not all the players trapped inside the game have the
ability to grow their levels beyond 90. But the expansion pack does apply to
the Yamato server. Meaning the players in Log Horizon can definitely level up
beyond 90. It can be concluded that leveling up beyond 90 is just very very
slow and requires a lot of EXP points.

Moreover, it kind makes sense too that we don't see any characters above level
90 since none of them are actually seen grinding for high level monsters.
Shiroe's gang was at doing that at least before Shiroe started working for the
Round Table Conference. But they had no time for that after Shiroe tried to
bring everyone together. They have become more "politics oriented". Trying to
set up proper living system in Akihabara, the round table conference and all.
None of them is really going all out for EXP. So it seems only logical that
none of them were able to accumulate enough EXP points yet.

Here's a link to the [level system](http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Level)
resource from the Wiki.
