BioWare is getting ready to launch the 1.7 update for its MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic and the team is keen to make sure that players understand all the new systems it is bound to introduce, including Galactic Reputation.

The new feature will allow players to earn six ranks, from Outsider to Legend, with each faction in the gamer world by acquiring Reputation Points.

The official update states, “As your Reputation Rank increases, new rewards will become available to you. Throughout the galaxy, you will find Reputation Vendors associated with each organization. Special rewards with Reputation Rank requirements can be purchased from these vendors.”

Star Wars: The Old Republic will get a whole new set of items that can only be used if the player has the appropriate Reputation rank.

Update 1.7 for the MMO will also introduce new subscriber bonuses, Legacy Titles and new quests for players to enjoy.
