Quote:World of Warcraftâs 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 youâll certainly stand out when you proudly display them.
And donât 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.
I loves me some tabards, so I'm pretty excited about this. I have discovered that I am a goal-driven player, so this stuff is right up my alley.
As a side note, some of the characters in the screenshots are wearing what is obviously Northrend gear. The designs are distinctly un-clownsuit-like.
Awesome.

What could you possibly mean by "clownsuit"? All the gear Blizzard designs is amazing, simply flawless in both taste and artistic cohesion.

You forgot the best part.

Never thought I'd see achievements in World of Warcraft. Now I've gotta split my time between racking up more Pyro achievements and now WoW achievements, too? Jeez.

I rather like this system, reminds me of the Titles/Accomplishmets/Traits System in LoTRO but more about aesthetics rather than being the backbone of the "talents" system. For example, which self-respecting paladin would wanna grind 50 orcs just to earn... Redoubt?:blink:
The public announcement, however, is a bit much. "I'm pretty sure that's going to get old. Fast." /agreed

I guess I'm used to it, though the first few days will be hell. The achievements in TF2 are announced to the server ever since the Medic pack, with accompanied fanfare.
Though to be honest, the only achievement you
really want the whole world knowing you've done in TF2 is OMGWTFBBQ:P
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.

The announcement resembles the one that's triggered by an alchemy discovery, so it's not that obtrusive. My guess is that most people will clear through a lot of the easy achievements the first couple of days anyhow, and after that you'll just see that message every once in a while.
