Can you tell us about reputation system and possible interaction with player orgs? Is it something planned for the near future or it's better to temper our hopes for the time being?asked by amoral

TL;DRPlayer orgs having reputation with NPC orgs is planned, but letting player orgs create their own reputation rules is currently not planned, and neither is slated for this year.

We've discussed two primary interactions between Player Orgs and Reputation quite heavily.

  • The first is Player Orgs having a reputation (much like a player can) with other NPC Orgs and NPCs. The answer to this one is a resounding yes. Barring unforseen future complications, the framework we have implemented allows for this and we plan to do this.
  • The other interaction is allowing for Player Orgs to set up their own rules for a reputation that players can earn. While the reputation system is built to allow for it, at current we don't plan to do this. It was heavily debated, and I can't rule anything out forever, but the current feeling was that the cons outweighed the pros (most of the cons revolved around removing or reducing player interactions and community-building that we want to encourage).

As for the near future part of your question? These are more long-term plans. The best method of tracking our progress on this will be on the Public Roadmap. It's not currently slated for this year.
