that is the character's present level..whenever you hilight a player character it will tell you their name... followed by their professions xx/xx.... and then the level of their character.

example..

John Doe W/E (7)

No No..

On the party list, sometimes a random player (Henchman or not) Will have a number beside theit name..

i always thought it was their number on your party list. least there seemed to be a coorelation.

It's a feature the developers put in long ago to assist in identifying players, before target calling was refined.

Example:

Lets say players tried to get an advantage in confusing opponents with name recognition and made 2 of the following names:

Tweedle Dee
Tweelde Dee

So to differentiate when party members have the same amount of characters in their names, a number is added in parenthesis. So it looks like this:

Tweedle Dee(1)
Tweelde Dee

Doesnt matter if the names are similar though, as long as it's the same amount of characters
