I originally purchased this game in November 2013 and played my then-main to level 42.

Fast forward now 3.5 years later and I am trying to pick it back up again where I left off. I am decided to continue with my main.

Have a few questions.

1.) What do the different numbers and names on players mean? Obviously they have a name, but there are also other numbers and symbols (like "600" with a star or a square or some other random squiggly things.) And then there are also titles, like "Master Thief" etc. I am level 42 and I played the game for hundreds of hours at launch and did everything on every map (right now I am working through Reaper March, Aldmeri Dominion) and I don't seem to have any titles or numbers? Are these new?

2. ) I seem to be dying. A LOT. I'm having a hard time completing some quests, (particularly the Vision with Shazah and her sister, where there are two tougher NPCs with the little square next to nameplate, they kill me within seconds) I've looked over my gear and I don't see anything different except that all the stats seem hugely inflated from what I recall. I even purchased some new gear from a merchant just to test it out and it's made no difference. My build was/is a full Storm Mage with Mage Guild, Destruction Staff, and High Elf Racial lines all maxed or near max, and maybe a few other passives from Soul line. At launch I was able to easily knock down groups of enemies but now if even 3 normal con enemies attack me I die in a matter of seconds. Is there something I need to do in terms of gear? I've been using Capacitor and some other things to recharge my Health when I cast or use Heavy attacks but even still, I feel like I am pretty weak.

3.) Levels. I'm a little confused. I still have a level, and I still gain ability points when I level up, I assume. Will "low level" zones like Auridon or Grahtwood scale, now? And high level areas as well?

Thanks for answering.
