Introduce the Outlaw System Blizzard Couldn't

Post#1 » Wed Sep 02, 2026 5:57 pm

From the original manual

"Even among enemies as bitter as the Horde and the Alliance, there is honor. If you flaunt this honor and engage in objectionable PvP play, such as killing new players vastly inferior to you in level, or killing essential non-combat NPCs such as flight masters or quest givers, you will earn dishonor. If you accumulate enough dishonor through your criminal actions, you will be branded an outlaw. As a consequence, you’ll suffer experience penalties, lose access to your own faction cities, and become so hated even by your own kind that every faction NPC will attack you on sight."

Blizzard scrapped this system when beta ended as they didn't spend enough time on it and it was too punishing. I think it would be fun to make the reputation system in WoW more fluid. Maybe even allow races to cross over to the other faction if they grind enough dishonorable kills or kill their own faction.

I personally don't like that you would get hated by your own faction. But some kind of system for that would be cool. I'd be down if it was like GTA stars where you got wanted level and if you get killed, enemies can get some reward for that.

I dunno I think it would require an entirely different server vibe to work properly. I played on a series of modded RPPvP servers where the whole world was Free for All pvp so you could be outlaws and make crossfaction guilds etc but it had no quests or PvE everything was just player driven RP and some PvP. One version of the server even had it where blood elves and forsaken were part of their own faction separate from horde and alliance.

What I've wondered if there's a way back from being hated. If so, then I think this would be an awesome feature.
