Players start off at Hated with the Brood of Nozdormu, Netherwing, Sons of Hodir, Therazane and Syndicate factions, having 0/36000 reputation with these factions, the lowest reputation possible in the game.

For rival factions, gaining reputation with one will normally decrease reputation with the other, but at a greater rate. Unlike experience, it is possible to lose reputation points with some factions, either by killing members of the faction or by assisting rival factions. Reputation points, just like experience points, are gained through quests and killing various mobs. The exception is hated, which spans a very large number of reputation points. Higher reputation levels generally require more points than the previous level to progress. Reputation is divided into a number of different levels for which players must earn reputation points to progress through. Reputation is very similar to experience. It is possible to get exalted with nearly everyone.
