Death's Demise achievement Issue.

#0 - Feb. 8, 2010, 10:26 a.m.

About a month ago, I transferred to a different server to raid with a guild I was previously in a year ago, and I was the only new raid member.

Since we had some extra time during the week while waiting for the last wing in ICC to be unlocked, the raid decided we'd take a shot at getting "Alone in the Darkness" yogg 0 lights in ulduar 25m. I spent 2 weeks for about 2-3 nights a week wiping on the fight only to find that everyone in the raid got the Death's Demise achievement and title besides me when we finally killed yogg.

It was very disheartening and somewhat frustrating for me because I wasn't aware of the new server first achievement policy after someone transfers.

I read some more blogs and blue posts about the reasoning behind this policy, and I understand it's blizzard's intention to give server natives the first shot at the titles, and that they don't want good guilds transferring to low progression servers to claim all of the server firsts either.

In my case, I was the only new person, and despite putting in the same time and effort as everyone else, I didn't receive the same credit or reward.

I put in a GM ticket only to receive an automated response that they'd escalate the ticket to be reviewed and that I'd receive an email or message in-game within 2-3 days. It's been 8 days, and it feels like perhaps my issue was abandoned because I've yet to receive that response regarding the GM verdict. It's somewhat upsetting.

Would it be possible for me to receive credit for the achievement in my particular situation or am I completely out of luck on this?

Q u o t e:
...so i get blown off by blizz CS here as well. hmm lets see:

You haven't been ignored, Six, I show that you have submitted 4 petitions about this issue thus far. The first two you were told that your request was under review. A couple days later you submitted another petition and by that time your review had been completed and you were told, clearly, that we were unable to grant your request.

Q u o t e:

this level of customer support is simply unacceptable. at least the CS forum trolls are doing a good job lol.

These forums are primarily for players to discuss the game with other players, Six. we try to answer what posts we can but we are simply unable to get to each and every post nor are we required to.

Your fellow players have provided the answer you seek and answer I might add that is in the Paid Character Transfer FAQ.

Q u o t e:

Will I receive realm first achievements if I transfer to a realm where the achievements have not been completed?

Not immediately. Players are ineligible for realm first achievements if they have transferred and been on the realm for less than 60 days. If these achievements remain incomplete for this 60 day period, the newly transferred characters will become eligible.
