Yes, Willow. If you choose not to use your banked XP on forging and such, as your notoriety reaches the requirements for 16th level, you will already have the xp required and will gain the level.

5. Finally, the level cap on the server is being temporarily reduced to 15 for a short time to reset the number of high-level PCs, and then it will go back up to level 20, and those PCs that were affected by it can begin working to eventually regain their previous level (and beyond - if not already a level 20).

To clarify this statement, it is more appropriate to say the level cap reduction is instant for any PCs that are affected by it. As soon as any level reduction may occur for a PC, he/she can immediately begin working to achieve the notoriety necessary to level-up again - up to the current maximum level of 20.

Ok, so I thought I got the gist of what was going on, until now :) Does this mean that currently banked xp will count towards regaining those lost levels and that we simply need to earn the notoriety to actually level up? Or does this mean that the banked xp is only for situations where xp is lost and that we need to earn the xp back as well as reach the required notoriety level to get back to where we were?
