Achievements added to WOW Armory News
MMO PC News by Oli Welsh
World of Warcraft's Armory (Blizzard's spelling, not ours) has been updated to include the Achievements and statistics added to the game in last month's Echoes of Doom patch.
The Armory is an online database of characters, equipment and other WOW info that's linked to the live game.
You can now track your own Achievements, look at other players', and run comparisons between up to four characters simultaneously as well as browse the full Achievement lists. You can also do all the same things with lifetime character statistics - total damage received, number of quests completed, and so on.
You can also view statistics on the demographic make-up of guilds in terms of character race, gender, class and level (24 per cent Death Knights, surprise surprise). This is in addition to the online Guild calendar that was added last month.
It's a haven of delicious time-wasting detail, all wrapped up in a very slick, pretty and intuitive interface. It's still painfully slow though.

Not only is the Armory slow, but it frequently breaks and refuses to give you anything for hours.
Still, it's a very nice thing to use to look up other players and things like that. |

*I noticed achievement points when I logged back on a week ago. These used for anything? *
All are sorted into "groups" like "Explore Outland" with each zone explored having its own achievement. Often if a "group" is completely done you either get a title like "Seeker" or "Ambassador" etc. ("Chef" for all cooking). Additionally some reward unique tabards or pets or even mounts (an Albino drake). They are mainly for show however it's quite nice the way it's done: 1. You get a "bing" like when you leveled and the achievement is fading in 2. It's show for people standing around that player. -> Dingo75 achieved [Lots of Fish] (fishing 100 fish or something) 3. It's announced in guild channel 4. It's announced realm wide if it's server first boss kill, 80 of a class / race or maxing a profession -> [Realm First] Dingo75 achieved [some boss kill] Due to 4. boss races will be even fiercer than before because everyone can see who was / is server first now even on the opposite side (Ally / Horde). |
