"Incredible, but he's only Level 27. There's no need for us to waste our time on him." Someone said.
This was true. The reason they were chasing after Stolord's team so they could kill them was to force them to waste time to recover their lost experience and put them into a red-lettered state.
In Glory, red-lettered equipment meant that the durability was about to reach zero and needed to be fixed. Being in a red-lettered state was similar to this. After a player's experience dropped below a certain level, the player would need to re-gain the experience in order to recover his stats.
Although red-lettered characters would not be at a lower level, they would not have the same stats as before. The amount of stats lost depended on how much experience had to be recovered. At the same time, they would also need experience to gain back their skill levels.
