The arrival of the next World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, will add more than just new areas and classes to the popular PC MMO..... Blizzard today confirmed rumours that the expansion will also see the addition of goal-based achievements.
Over 500 achievements will be available initially, with Blizzard noting that the list is easily expandable, and will in fact be expanded. A new window displays the conditions for the various achievements, and also those earned.
The achievements are broken down into categories: Player-vs.-Player, Dungeons and Raids, Professions, Quests, Events, World Exploration, Reputations, and General.
When an achievement is earned, nearby players and guild members are instantly alerted of the accomplishment, and they will also be viewable on the net through the game's Armory.
Wrath of the Lich King is tentatively slated to arrive later this year.
A completionist boon or an unwarranted design direction? Care to elaborate your thoughts?
