Ambassador title was added per player request
Sep 1st, 2008
We asked for more titles, and darned if Blizzard didn't give them to us. Just in case you missed it over the weekend, there are tons of new titles in the latest beta build that all revolve around Achievements and Feats of Strength, from titles for the first people to level to 80 (and 450 in professions) to titles for obscure reputations and even holidays and fishing. Blizzard really delivered on the title front -- no matter what you do in game, odds are there is a title for you to aim for.And here's the best part: this is a direct result of reader requests. Zach linked to this the other day, but he forgot to point out that when Tigole posted that the Ambassador title (for earning Exalted with all five core city factions for Alliance or Horde) was coming to the game, it was in direct response to a player asking for it.
Kudos to Blizzard not only for fulfilling their promise to have lots and lots of titles for players to choose from, but for doing it in a way that came straight from players themselves. These seem so simple to implement, we're glad Blizzard is being generous with them.

Abassador Detail
I like that ^^
Not far from it either, Exhaulted with Org and I am Revered with the others.
I have veen trying to get the Conqurer (sp?) title, but good lord, battleground after battleground is mind numbingly boring.
Out of interest, what part of the UI do you select which title is displayed? My guess is a drop down appears underneath your level and race on the character menu.

Most possible for me to get the ambassador tittle on my alt char since only char with an exalted core city faction, tho my main might give me justicar tittle instead ;) just luv pvp and hate grinding PVE rep, to many instances to run, tho this might inspire me to get exalted with them all ^^

Just above the character portrait, on you character sheet there will be a drop down list the gives you the option to display whatever title you want (providing you have titles to display).
:)

That dropbox is already there, they have put it in when the first non-rank titles went live (scarab lord and conqueror) so that you can choose to display it instead of your rank

I thought I saw that the Ambassador title was for Exalted with Timbermaw, Sporregar, and Maghar/Kurenai.

That was the Diplomat, I believe. Easy mistake to make.

I like it! Ambassador Oppenheimer has a nice ring to it, somehow. Should be quite achievable with AV turn-ins!

It's not just a direct result of player requests. I'm sure the fact that WoW's new competitor, Warhammer Online has a very extensive list ( http://www.thewarwiki.com/wiki/Category:Achievement_Titles )of titles was another motivating factor.

A bit of breaking news: WoW doesn't rip-off Warhammer. People aren't even impressed by WAR anymore. Shipping with several cut classes and cut capital cities? Can't say WoW ripped that off.

And I could turn around and say that Warhammer has them because Lord of the Rings Online had them a couple of years ago?
This quickly turns into a pointless game.

What i'm more interested in is the severe lack of pvp titles. Screw arena, and Justicar and all the new titles that everyone is able to get. I want to get my warlock past Private darnit!

It would be cool if they made it so you could pick 2 titles, 1 suffix and 1 prefix.
Name
That way you could customize it a little and have your own uniqueness to it.
Doctor Dulock of the Shattered Sun
I like the ring of that. Not that I am going be able to earn the doctor title though.

These is new.
I am impressed.
Blizzard, listening to players and responding in these way? WOW.
Thats great.
Now lets just wait till they remove all the fuss over arena and give us Frostwyrm faction in wrath.
