Reputation
In UO, Reputation is the title given on your paperdoll. It is based on a two variable system: Karma and Fame.
Your reputation can matter greatly in some specific circumstances. For example, most NPCs will not interact with characters that have the lowest level of karma.
Reputation replaced the earlier notoriety system, which was less complex but subject to certain oddities. However, the term "notoriety" survives in some circles, for example, the out-of-date phrase noto killer remains in fairly common use.
Titles
Your karma and fame combination determine what your title is. Here is a table of them all.
