Adding an Achievement Point ranking

[Lebenoshl]

One of my favorite things to do in an online game is to track my ranking of a meaningless stat that is highly correlated to how long I have played. (This is not sarcastic)

Currently the achievement point total feels arbitrary as we have no reference to what it means. On the other hand rankings provide a feeling of progression and accomplishment, It encourages players to try all the content that a game offers and extends the replayability of a game.

It would be really nice of World, Server Cluster, and Global Rankings were added. It would give players something to strive for when they reached their 'wall', as well as encourage community effort to help each other complete some of the achievements.

How about a title for every 1000 achievement points?

[SantaClaw]

Add an achievement shop/npc instead which allow you to buy certain items, minions or housing furniture for every 500 achievement points.
Something like the beast tribe npc.

I'd gladly take all three suggestions. :xd I like to challenge myself with the Achievements and do them whenever I am bored or have to kill some time while waiting. And some of them are really mind-numbing (DOH craft a gazillion of items, DOL make a gazillion of levequests, DOL, harvest a gazillion of nodes) to complete. So a ranking/a title and/or items for x amount of achievements sounds pretty cool besides the Goodies you already get now for completion of single achievements.

They should not have an achievement ranking system when there are achievements that are no longer obtainable that still count toward your score.

It'd be interesting to see, ya.
I'd like to see the addition of more DoH/L achievements, or current ones extended with higher tiers.
Even a fleshed out /stats display of like, how many monsters you've killed, or items converted, or times you've died.

Thing is, it's only parsed from people who've registered their characters on that site, which is a relatively small sample of the whole server.

Yeah, granted it's not everyone, but if you are interested in your 'rank' then register away and anyone who wants to better you only has to register to show off their score! Tell your friends!!!

Congratulations on #13 anyhow Arche!
