When placing your curser over a player character or non player character (NPC) the name and Combat level of the character will be displayed. If the display appears in green you have a higher Combat level then your potential opponent. If the display appears in yellow - orange you have the same, similar or slightly lower Combat level than your opponent. Finally, if the display appears in red you are of a significantly lower level than your opponent.

Multi Combat Symbol There are two types of Combat areas: Single and Multi-combat. In single Combat areas players experience one on one fighting. Multi-combat areas are identified by two crossed swords appearing in the bottom right corner of your gaming screen. Areas signified as multi-combat will allow your character to fight multiple targets.
