While Wrath of the Lich King will improve many of World of Warcraft's existing features, it will also introduce plenty of brand-new ones to keep the game fresh and interesting. One of these new features is sure to suit a wide range of play styles: achievements. These self-contained goals will offer new challenges, satisfy goal-oriented players, allow others to see your accomplishments in World of Warcraft -- and are just plain fun.


World of Warcraft's achievements system will launch with more than 500 individual achievements covering every aspect of gameplay, including world exploration, PvE, PvP, professions, and character development; from the purely whimsical to the truly epic, there will be something for everyone. Some achievements come with in-game rewards such as tabards, vanity pets, and titles. All of these rewards are purely cosmetic and just for fun, but you'll certainly stand out when you proudly display them.

And don't fret about running out of achievements anytime soon. The list is easily expandable, so you can expect additional achievements with each new World of Warcraft content update.


[SAUSE]

You will have a window to view and check different achievements.
So when you get an achievement, you get points for something i guess.
and you wont stick to the normal ones you start out with, they have other achievements out every update.
i think this is good, but then again could be bad.

A lot of other games are getting achievements, such as a lot of valve games.
So tell me your thoughts on this, and do you think the Achievements craze has caught on to game developers now?

Oh gawd, now there's going to be even more flaming because they're, *gasp*, stealing ideas!

It's not like we've never seen one company actually steal ideas from another.


Go blizzard, go!

Well i mean, sure the achievements have been done before in MANY games.
many big titles.

But this could be cool :D
but then again this could cause controversy, like people farming the achievements.
so lets see how it turns out.

I like it, gives you something to do besides rep grinding (For some of them at least ;) ), but it gives you more to work for.

Now to get a WotLK alpha server up under the Rise to Live name ;)

Exactly, ever since I hit 70 on the private server, I've had nothing to do but wait for someone to start a raid. :c

Well i mean, i wont be lvl 70 for a while.

The only thing i see 70's do is like AV's or EoTS and other BG's.
Just for honor points for spending on like hella legit PvP gear and weapons.
so maybe this will cut down a lot of that grinding PvP honor.

Hell no, seriously I don't want every game to have achievements. Just about every game I play has achievements or something similar of that.

Finally, a good selling point for World of Warcraft. I still won't buy it though. $15 a month is still a hefty bill to me.

Hehe, I agree. That's why I'm playing the private server. :3

It's also faster xp etc so you don't waste your life on it trying to get to the next level. =/

Hell no seriously I don't every game to have achievements almost every game I play has achievements or something similar to it.


Your grammar is horrible. Anyways, you dont have to do ANY games achievements. All WoW's give you is tabards, mini pets, and other show items.

So I don't understand why your up in arms.

Just woke up when I wrote that. Anyway, if you don't do the achievements your called a noob. It's almost like you have to do them it seems more professional if you do anyway.

500 achievements is a hell of a lot. This would be a good idea if the achievements went towards a point system, and with the points you use it to purchase new tier armor, weapons etc. Otherwise its pretty useless.

I just didn't understand the launch day for achievements. Or does it come out with the next expansion?

But overall I find this idea cool :D

I also heard WoW makes a profit of 1 billion dollars a year. I also heard that Vivendi own TV Networks like NBC and some MPAA record labels like Universal Music Group.

His first message was a comment to every body.
But you quoted him on an answer to a personal question. One that clears up who he was talking to.
Your just throwing in a fact that you play wow on a private server, which has nothing to do with the question within his answer.

It's like asking some one a math problem and instead of replying to the answer with a "yes, no or that's correct." You reply by talking about your new shoes or comment on the kind of dump to took the other day.

(what I mean by that example is that instead of you supporting his answer, you said something completely random.)
