[Nightfall]

Here's an odd one:

Reputation of players with The Order. It seems that all the old characters on the server have max rep with the order. Those that had no other max rep seem to have gotten the Order tags or at least have green rep and can even take missions at Battleship Isis (haven't tried one yet).
Newly created chars get -3 squares rep with the Order and whatever you do, it stays there. Only thing I didn't try yet is getting the Corsairs friendlier.. but the char which I got the tag on is nearly hostile to the Corsairs and green to IC..
Makes no logic sense whatsoever.
I've seen some more players with Order tags. How can you buy Order ID if the rep doesn't change?

*Note by Order tag I don't mean Order ID, I mean showing ingame like 'Order - [IND]Athena'.
