View Full Version : If Achievements were added to EQ, what kinds would exist?

Games today have a wide array of achievements. From skill based feats of strength to hilarious/funny acts, these achievements add replay value to the game. In World of Warcraft, I did a few of these and had a great time. Some of the achievements were as simple as, "Complete this dungeon in under this amount of time." Others required you to kill X while not killing any adds that assist X, making the fight more difficult.

I'd like to get creative and create some mock achievements that the P99 players on blue and red could enjoy. What ideas do you guys have in terms of this?

A few achievements that come to my mind would be some basic ones.
1. Slay Fwippy Darkpaw
2. Get slain by a sand giant in the Oasis of Marr.
3. Delete the Book of Discord
4. Loot a Greater Lightstone
5. Turn in X amount of bone chips for quest X
6. Buy all your level X spells before you reach level Y.
7. Wear a full suit of banded or cloth armor.

How about you guys? What would you put in for achievements?

I've actually pondered this very question, and almost made this very thread myself ... but then I got side-tracked by other wiki projects.

Suffice it to say though one of many wiki goals has been to start a thread like this, put all of the responses into a wiki page, and then use my checkbox list "tech" to give every player their own in-wiki achievement list. I have many wiki goals, so there's no guarantee this one will happen anytime soon, but ... someday!

(And if anyone else likes the idea they are more than welcome to beat me to it!)

Ah server firsts are nice, but since only one person can complete them, they aren't traditional achievements you'd see today. Good to see this page exist for those who are curious.

Those don't seem quite the same: they seem more like an of in-game benefit for completing various quest series (all of which only exist on live).

I guess that is only a list of a certain kind of achievement.

Live also has achievements for exploring zones, killing certain mobs, and getting x number of AA points, just to name a few.

Ah, gotcha: so they are more like WoW-style achievements then (well, except I don't think WoW achievements ever had an in-game benefit, but close enough).

Thanks.

How would you know you achieved this achievement in game if you did this though?

Think we need the greatest minds put on this.
