Has anyone seen this explained anywhere? Ta.
I am assuming that they are using the standard definition of the word (taken from dictionary.com).
noun
1. reputation or influence arising from success, achievement, rank, or other favorable attributes.
2. distinction or reputation attaching to a person or thing and thus possessing a cachet for others or for the public:
Example: The new discothèque has great prestige with the jet set.
adjective
3. having or showing success, rank, wealth, etc.
Hehe ok, to be clear, I know what presitge means; but what would that mean in game? Faction like EQ? Some kind of player leader board? Something that levels up your guild? Something that makes monsters scared of you? Something that gives you extra abilities? In Rift it awards you with items and whatnot from the cash-shop (Yuck). The in-game meaning/effect of 'prestige' could be anything.
