• Character Level will be displayed in enemy faction character info.
• As with monsters, the color of a PC's character name will change based on the Level difference.
• In Elyos, Asmodian, and Abyss regions, the daily limit on Abyss Points earned from the same target has changed from a “Score” limit to a “number of times” limit (up to 3 times each).
