I’m just curious regarding Achievement for raiders. Does that fall under the combat area as well?

I’m tired of grinding AA in EQ2 and I’m hoping that the achievement system combined with the self-mentoring system will make things more interesting as I try to get those last 4 AA. The thought of getting appearance gear while getting those last four points has me excited to see GU 53 go live.

And as for WoW? Gee, over the last 3-4 months I’ve heard them adding new revolutionary things like titles, level-locking and special gear for crafters (cook’s hat). In the new expansion they announced at Blizzcon they are going to add guild advancement. Why can’t SOE do anything like that? Although Blizzard is going to blow up one of the Horde cities in Cataclysm. Who wouldn’t like to see something like that happen to Qeynos or Freeport? Okay, maybe not Qeynos.

This is great news. So now when @g33kg0dd3ss catches me flirting with a hot elf chick, I can just say I was working on an achievement!!

This update sounds like it’s going to be huge. Looking forward to reading the rest of your posts about it.

And yeah, all you can do is ignore the whole “game x stole from game y” outcries. Think how much our games are improved because the developers emulate the most popular systems from each other’s games.

“how come it’s ok for WoW to steal everyone else’s ideas, but not for everyone else to steal WoW’s? Odd”

I’ve never ever understood that, I’ve heard so many times about how all these games are stealing ideas from WoW – even if those ideas came first from some other game. I’ve given up trying to figure that one out.

“I was also very glad to see the crafters not left out with the tradeskill achievement section.”

Very true, though from what I saw it’s a bit of a red-headed stepchild at the moment. Which is not to say it won’t be expanded, or can’t be. In any case, I have no beef with the achievement system overall. If you don’t like it, ignore it — it’s that simple.

And yeah… how come it’s ok for WoW to steal everyone else’s ideas, but not for everyone else to steal WoW’s? Odd.
