Your word is everything at AoC ( Reputation idea for Quests,RP,daily life)

MybroViajero

An honest reputation MMO player is guaranteed to deliver what he says, while an MMO player with a dishonest reputation will not.

If your word reputation in AoC could be measured then some players might be worthy to apply to some quests and you would also know which player not to watch out for when giving quests.

For example:
Trade Missions: If you need a merchant to take your order from city A to B and you had to choose between several merchants then the reputation of their success with that specific mission could be of great help in knowing which one is worthy.

Politics: When you establish socio-commercial relationships with other nodes, you could know if the person/node with whom you are going to establish relationships is going to be trustworthy and will meet the demands that your node may have in the commercial/economic field.

War / pvp: If you need support from an alliance or pvp guild they require some prior incentive as a guarantee, then knowing the reputation of that guild / alliance you would know if they could meet your demands and you would be willing to pay the guarantee.

How could your word get a good/bad reputation?

Fulfilling specific missions for that content.

For example:
-A mission where it is requested that in 20 minutes you bring certain materials from another node, that node is very far away and it carries a certain risk to go there, so if someone dares to apply to that mission that person is responsible if reputation has negative or positive points.

-There would be missions of lower or higher reputation that only the most capable could fulfill, therefore a differentiation would be forged between people who CAN carry out certain missions and those who CANNOT.

Your missions can't be measured by what you say since EVERYONE can be a saint in an MMO but yes, by what you do,in this way, it would really be known by the completed achievements who is HONEST/ and with that, missions of great importance could be granted (legendary missions perhaps?).

Reputation earning could apply to individual characters as well as guilds or nodes, so if a guild or node wants a good reputation it will need people with good reputations to push them down the path of good reputation.

What about people who fully intend to keep their word and complete the task, but get PKed on the way and fail? Seems like with this logic, the system would give the person a demerit because of another player's actions?
