Can we have something for the sever firsts?

[Raenryong]

why ?

If the game was finished and if new releases of content would never happen again, why not ? But in MMOs, there will be new content forever (ideally), and older content will be nerfed to the ground.

As someone said, what is T5 or even T9 exactly ? In 2 years, the overgearing will be so high that you'll be able to stomp it without even knowing a single mechanic.


And if you look at it, world first in T9 (BG) already got a fame reward, aka a word from the producer..

MMOs are also about forming an effective hall of fame for your achievements, and these items would stand as a testament to the achievements and abilities of the group who did it, long after the content is top tier.

Ive played quite a bit of MMOs. I really havent seen ingame rewards for server firsts.

There was only one or two "rewards" one was by basically who can log in the fastest, and the other was who can spend more money.
Not everyone is on equal ground. Seeing achievements that are impossible to get actually discourage me from playing.

One game solved that problem by actually hiding the achievements after someone got it.

hmmm no ? An achievement is supposed to last. There is no meaning in such a thing for content downed to hell by nerfing and heavy overgearing over the time.

I could agree in an horizontal progression MMO, where the content would always remain top tier. That's not the case here. You just have to see how some groups are stomping on T5 already without mastering anything. Some groups even barely manage to kill Asclepius in time with 15% echo.

Saying "I cleared it before twisters nerf" or anything is meaningless. You cleared it, they cleared it as well, that's the only truth. All you can have is YOUR pride knowing you got it first (or so you think), without smashing it in other people's face with exclusive titles or anything like that.

What ever happened to doing something for your own satisfaction, and not for the satisfaction and gloating to other players?

Make your "i beat xxx thread!!" And be done! Let the grats and celebrations fade and move on to the next big thing.

Lest you want to be like cynical old people and go "back in my day..." Kinda makes you look like you are rooted in the past.

Well i have even seen people bragging about having server's first Zantetsuken and stuff, can't blame them, they're in deperate need for any form of recognition and fame because they don't have either IRL.

First!!!!!

In Rift (maybe?) it would just have a server wide message saying "bla bla did thingy as world first!" or whatever. It used to do it for items though, which was weird, I was randomly doing some quest and picked up some loot and got a server first for getting some boots or something...

But any more than that I think is unnecessary.
