Titles in Wurm were kinda neat, until everyone started getting em.
A Master Blacksmith was well respected, since most people knew he had to have spent many months worth of playtime on nothing else to achieve that skill level.
Trollslayer would have been impressive if it didn't count putting the coup de gras on a near-dead troll (which could one-shot a newbie).

I'd like to see unique titles, as well as titles to show player skill or PvP prowess.
I especially like the idea of the undefeated title, showing off until someone finally jumps you with a crew behind him and you lose the title.

If the game tracks enough stats on a player, we could even have custom titles that are linked to a set of stats.



Gaining scars and visual decorations could be cool too. Dunno about skulls, as that's not really my thing, but being able to equip various trinkets would work. A leather strip with a collection of enemy ears you could carry around in your left hand, that's be sweet.
The features on the main site mentioned earning scars at once point.. I wondered then if they meant it.
