Without the title and good reputation, no player would be able to succeed in what Arthur was trying to do, even if they paid a lot more than him.
The NPCs were proud people and wouldn't be swayed easily, for the most part. Thus, one needed to be respectful to them and know how to talk to them. Thankfully for Arthur, he had a lot of experience in it.
After all, being weak and behind others meant that Arthur had fewer ways of progressing. One of the ways was to be able to converse their way into the favor of others.
Arthur might have been bad at it in the real world, but in Morpheus Online, he had a lot of skill and experience with it.
In fact, there was even a special class that was dedicated to it. It was none other than the Bard Class and was quite varied too.
One could be a free Bard that wandered around. This was the most common form of the Bard class. Then there were the Bards that belonged to the various churches and spread the word of god.
