Everquest did this, on the roleplaying server (Firiona Vie). Once
you reached level 10, you could choose your alignment (good, neutral
or evil with some modifiers, if memory serves). Good players
couldn't party with evil ones. Both good and evil players could
party with neutral ones, though. Also, the more players of the same
alignment there was in a group, the more experience you'd get for
each kill.

I'm not sure, but I *think* they removed this system because it was
unpopular. Note that this was *despite* the fact that the system was
only used on the roleplaying server, where one would imagine that
such a rule would be supported by a majority of the player base.
