360-esque achievements could head to World of Warcraft
It's a common complaint you hear from
World of Warcraft fans: "I love the 14 to 16 hours per day I spend in front of the computer followed by an hour of self-loathing and crying myself to sleep, but the game's just not
addictive enough." If some
leaked screens from the
Wrath of the Lich King alpha are to be believed, Blizzard could be answering that very concern with a new "Achievements" system.
As some of you know,
Lord of the Rings Online already has a similar system in place, which rewards players for sitting next to pretend Aragorn in the Prancing Pony and pretending to listen to him spin yarns for 20 minutes, etc. We can't wait to see how Blizzard can compete with
that.
