Update on account based achievements?

Currently we have plans to add account-wide achievements in the future, I just wouldn't expect them at the launch of Wrath of the Lich King. This is a new system that we are still doing a lot of tuning on right now but do plan to expand upon it down the road.

Q u o t e:


you might have misunderstood

Im in the same boat as her, i have 70s which i spend equal time on.
I wouldnt ever be able to archieve 100% on all 3 chars, i dont think i would be able to even on one char.
One char i pvp alot on, one i do 10 mans on, third one is a bit of everything.
So by account wide achievements we dont mean new achievements counting for your whole account , rather that archievements are tabbed, one for the char you are inspecting, second tab the account.
Spread over 3 chars there is a much higher chance i would ever be able to come close to the 100%, otherwise i would have to play one character exclusively to get there.
This shouldnt take much programming at all, if you say you have plans for it, but the whole system is already in place for one character, then i dont see what the issue is to simple add up the archievements of all chars into the account archievements tab.

I hope i was able to make that clear.

You are asking for details that we don't have at the moment. For the time being they are character specific and while we want to add on to it and have things that are account-wide in the future, we don't have any information on how it would work as we are focusing on step 1 right now. Your request has been noted though.

Q u o t e:


What exactly is the point of the "Achievement" system?

Is it just another status page or will there be some tangible itemization at certain levels?

Here is a preview of the new Achievement system we are adding in Wrath of the Lich King:
