Max hero level...

What should the max hero level be for an Epic RPG?

Depends, how long is your piece of string?

I meant whats a recommended level?

As was just said, depends on the RPG.

hmm, what are the things to consider?

These fewest possible number of levels is best, in my experience.

Describe the RPG, and maybe we can help.

KoTOR - level 20 (though normally don't reach)
FF - level 99 (normally nowhere near)

Massive difference, both great RPGs. It varies.

Well, its an Epic map, like WoW with skills (cooking, fishing, fletching, mining, smithing and herblwaw) 9 playable classes (forgot most of em), and I want to have about 50-70 quests.

Personally, I'd say 20. Not too small, so you feel like you achieve something, but not rediculous.

It depends mostly on the balance. If you have hero skills that get MUCH more powerfull with each level, 20 is a good cap. If they are WEAK, you need a higher cap. If you find your level cap needs to be around 100, you need to re-balance. >_>

ok, ill probably do about 30-50
