Same thing you do when you reached maximum level in all skills :)


Seriously, I would say two options:
- invite people to contribute maps and such
- design a way for those "end of game " players to be ingame gods and 
dynamically create a world

True.

What I think we also need is a defined set of graphs for leveling up.
What resistance around what level? What armor? How many HP or SP or GR?

This way we could tailor players and monsters to be equivalent, and make level 
actually meaningful - something like "you need to kill ~100 monsters of your 
level to gain one level".

But this wouldn't be too visible to the player, only through quests :)
