Fame!
By Bricu | September 10, 2009
In game, a character’s reputation–their relative fame within factions–is measured from Hated to Exalted. The mechanics of this feature has changed since launch, but the overall concept of how a character is perceived has not changed. The more deeds one does for a faction, the more said faction respects said character. It is a simple [...]
Once upon a time, Ila Tarquin** introduced us to TV Tropes. (Warning: once you click through, all productivity will be lost. For at least an hour.)

I guess I would have pictured something a bit more dignified for a loremaster. It’s a good thing the only tabard Davien ever wears ICly is the [...]
