Feldon EQ2 is getting an Achievements system! Much like the systems on XBox where you get points for completing certain tasks in certain games, EQ2 will recognize certain in-game achievements. To avoid any confusion, the Alternate Achievement system in EQ2 is officially being renamed “AA”.
If you’d like to read more about the upcoming Achievements system and give feedback or suggestions, check out Rothgar‘s thread on the subject.
PS3 also has a trophy system that works very well and is very neat. So luckily Sony has experience with making the system interesting already.
I love this idea and I really hope they don’t bow down to the pressure of giving out rewards for the achievements. The whole point of them is that you can “brag” about how many points you have, not that you are going to get bonuses for this or that.
Maybe the odd fluff pet or house item, but nothing that enhances combat, travel, or basic “quality of life” ingame.
