Achievements should be account wide

#0 - Sept. 5, 2008, 6:55 p.m.

I've played just about every class and I don't think I'll ever stick with the same one throughout the lifetime of this game. Why should I have to do achievements on every single one of my characters to get the title? It seems somewhat tedious and insensible. Can we expect achievements to be account wide or can we just expect them to be another time-sink for each individual character?

We have already said that we would like to add account wide achievements in the future, they just won't be part of the initial launch of this new feature.

Q u o t e:
This is good for poeple who have switched their mains 3-4 times since starting the game. My rogue is exalted with Hydrazian Water Lords for example, but not with Violet Eye. My warrior is exalted with Violet Eye but not HWL. My paladin is exalted with Hyjal, but my warrior is not.

It would be if some, if not all achievements on the same account could be seen on one character.

We don't have any details on how they would work yet, so I'm not sure if you'd see everything on one character. There will still be character specific achievements for single characters or for people to do multiple times, but we also want to add specific account-wide achievements for those who spread out their playing time more. We're looking forward to adding these in the future and will go into more details when the time comes.
