It's starting to look like in addition to the announced cap on Level 4+ cities, they've actually capped ALL levels. Here is a post now about someone who received the "city expansion capped" email when trying to go from Level 2 to Level 3:

I just want some sort of explanation from the Devs as to what their plan/vision is here. Is this intentional? Was it intentional to implement it without telling us? Why no communication on the issue now?

I can't find it in the manual but I swear they said there were caps on Lvl 1-2, Lvl 3, and Lvl 4-5. So only X number of 1 - 2, etc.

Ah, I found it. There is indeed a cap on Level 3+ cities, as well as level 4+.

Planet/Total cities allowed/Level 3+/Level 4+

* Corellia: 20, 15, 10
* Dantooine: 50, 30, 20
* Lok: 50, 30, 20
* Naboo: 20, 15, 10
* Rori: 50, 30, 20
* Talus: 50, 30, 20
* Tatooine: 20, 15, 10

Still no explanation on the Level 5 cap, but it does explain the unhappy situation affecting the poster in the thread I linked above.

I copied it directly from a recentish post by our Politician correspondant. I'm not sure where it came from prior to that.

Darn. I was hoping for a Dev post or something. Thanks!

The devs posted it here.

Our city - the first player city on the entire server (and hence the first to every single level from 1-4) was also denied rank 5 today, despite what we were told the rules were by SOE itself.

This is extremely frustrating. We had a choice weeks ago: grow willy-nilly with little to no concern over building a close citizenship, or take a slower approach and get to know each other, adding more citizens a little at a time. Based on the rules given to us by SOE, we chose the slower method, and only qualified for metro today. But it was denied due to "too many large cities" - a completely non-existent cap moving from rank 4 to 5 according to the official notes and rules documenting city expansion.

TH - fix this, please. If you don't, you're screwing over alot of people due to SOE's error.

I wanted to update this with new, happier information.

Today, Basinia became a Metro. I did not receive any further comment from a CSR or anyone stating that this would be fixed, and as far as I can tell, no Metros on our planet/server from last week shrunk to city size, (thus opening a spot in some phantom cap,) so I am considering this a bug that was either actively fixed or which became un-buggy due to something else. I may never know, but whatever happened, this issue was resolved for us today.

Good luck to all, and I wish you similar luck with your cities!

And they say Vendors are causing Monoplies Limiting the chances to have a metrop is the same thing

My CSR reported via email converstion that it was a known issue the devs were working on, so I'm still hoping ours wil be fixed as well.

/crosses fingers

Tus'kens Bane also did not expand to metropolis due to cap restrictions (even though that shouldn't be possible).

Just a FYI... Xyon on Chilastri on Naboo became a Metropolis at 1pm EST on Tuesday.. We were one of the original 10. It is possible that an unregistered City is a metropolis as well.

We were already a level 4 city with 97 citizens at update today. After we updated I got a letter saying we could not update to level 5 due to there being too many large cities on our planet. There is only 2 level 5 cities on our planet atm with populations of 105 and 91, as you can see we are already the 2nd largest city and would have been the largest today with the expansion.

I have not read anywhere on a cap about level 5 cities, just the cap at level 3 and above and level 4 and above. I have sent in a csr ticket on it. If anyone knows anything about this I would greatly appreciate the information.

I posted this on another thread not having seen this one. Crossing my fingers that it is fixed since we just have 2 level 5's on Naboo atm.

Both Zallon and Vorah's cities are on Chilastra. Maybe this is being fixed on a server by server basis.

Well, Tusken's Bane is ALSO on chilastra and we still have the problem
