Reputation Project

The Reputation Project is a collaborative effort by the Earthen Ring roleplaying community to create reputation factions that use reputation in a way that is similar to standard World of Warcraft game mechanics.

Why Join This Project?
The project allows for players to form groups regardless of WoW game mechanics, or support those they have already created. Guilds may use reputations to show progress in their ranks, or the appreciation and affiliations toward those outside of their guild. Aside from guilds, reputations may be a way to show connections to non-guild groups. The possibilities are up to the players' imaginations.

Because of the way the add-on operates, one reputation project is encouraged for use on the server. Using one project allows for the players of all factions to interact with one-another using the add-on.

=How to Join and Use= To join the reputation project, one should first download the latest version of Gryphonheart Reputation and add the add-on to their WoW installation, like any other. The add-on, when enabled on a character, will simulate custom factions created by Earthen Ring players as factions in-game, displaying reputation bars, faction descriptions, enabling faction leaders and officers, and allowing characters to flag themselves as faction members.

Within the first few minutes of logging in to Earthen Ring, the add-on will join the first reputation project it finds. Check your Reputation tab on your character; if it does not have Horde or Alliance "RP Reps," then go to the Options button at the top of the reputation list and click "Leave Project," or type, "/ghr leaveproject" to release yourself from the non-server project. Afterward, speak with someone in the server's reputation project and ask them to invite you using their Options menu.

The add-on also works with Gryphonheart Items to create reputation-giving items to trade between players.

Creating a Custom Faction
The reputation add-on uses a moderator to add and remove factions from the project. If you wish to create a faction, contact Lilithia (Horde character), or e-mail Lilithia.EmberfallFELGUARD@gmailFELHOUND.com (remove the demon names from the address).

New factions must meet the following guidelines:
 * No less than five players on the Alliance/Horde which will use the faction
 * No obscene material (ERP groups may not apply)
 * No more than four reputations administrated by an individual or group (4 per Alliance/Horde)

A faction requesting to be added to the project should have the following information available:
 * Name (if part of a collection of factions, use acronyms before the name; ex: for Crusaders of Light, "CoL: Gleaming Sword", "CoL: Shining Vanguard," etc.)
 * Faction leader
 * Faction officers (if applicable; those able to give faction reputation to other players)
 * Short faction description for reputation list
 * Names of five players who will use the faction

=Active Factions= Factions are listed as they appear in-game.
