The Daily Grind: What kind of reputation do you have in your MMO guild?

    
29

The way some players tell it, back in the olden days of MMOs, your reputation was everything. With fewer games, longer grinds, and more dependence on others for grouping, a player’s reputation could become well-known across an entire server, for good or for ill.

I’m not sure how true this is today. Oh, I think that players still foster a reputation, just in smaller circles than “their entire server.” In fact, when I think of my own reputation in games, it’s usually within the context of just my guild. They probably see me as a bit of an aloof snarker who loves light-hearted conversation and doles out encouragement but isn’t super-involved in the raiding scene and doesn’t go out of his way to group up very often.

If you just look at your guild, guilds, or smaller social circles in MMOs, what kind of reputation have you fostered? What would other people who know you say about you if we asked them?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
