I will request new achievements to be made then added to the achievements!!!! Completely forgot about it (a)(a)(a)
also stop making multicoloured VIP, it's ugly
It's not always about you Scott and considering a lot of people bought it last year - It seems people did in fact like it.Quote:

can we have an orange and blue one
You mean like the birthday one?Quote:

I think awards are pointless, it's just there and there's no real urgency to collect them. Atm, achievements are pointless, it's just there and there's no real urgency to collect them, which is a damn shame considering it had so much potential.
Unlike the awards system, which practically runs itself with manual input from 1-2 people, the achievements system is spread out across Habbox and involves a bucketload of admin, which would be one of those disadvantages that would be worthwhile if it wasn't just a carbon copy of the awards system. If general management are stubbornly refusing to keep it as it is then it is probably better in the long run to just ditch it and return to the awards system.

I had a message from Wispur a short while ago with my 15,000 achievement. I was quite shocked!Quote:

Yes it is very hard, I struggled with it too. I still think it'd be more worthwhile than the awards system if more time could be spent on developing it into its original concept.
Perhaps, but I'm not willing to put any more time into it. As far as I'm concerned it's not a system thats suitable for a forum other than the automated achievements that come built into the system.Quote:

There is no other way of doing it as the plugin we have was only ever designed for the automated achievements that it includes.Quote:

I like to think I've demonstrated my own creativity enough over the years whereas you took this idea and immediately made it boring. For instance, it doesn't need a plugin to do it. Could've been organised without it.
If a lot more time and effort had been put into a proper achievement system (much like the one actually described in the original feedback thread) instead of the rush mess we have now where you have awards/achievements/achievement awards, then it would have been an okay system. Once again a complete lack of morale and drive have ruined a half decent idea and hey itsactually an innovative one cause no other fansite does it but scrap being unique then
Well considering the amount of admin work that became necessary WITH the plugin, I really dread to think how much work would be required for it without a plugin. I'm sorry that you find the system boring, but it's impossible to conjure up a working system thats going to work on a forum. I don't work miracles I'm afraid.Quote:

Going into everything half baked seems to be the MO of general management of late so not entirely surprised that this (like so many good ideas from community members) was taken on only in part and not in a way that reflects the original idea at all
Just an input here. I much prefer the Awards system. Most people aren't really that bothered about collecting awards/achievements in the sense that I don't think that many strive to collect as many as they can to become like a Pokemon Master or somet idk, it's just a nice incentive. I'm pretty sure there's not one Achievement that couldn't just be an Award.
I give up lolQuote:

I will continue to work on it after I've finished hosting this creative event.
Theres not a lot we can offer without breaking the bank. I don't think you realise how difficult it is to do something so large, but if you want to waste your time coming up with a perfect system then be my guest. As far as I'm concerned the achievements system is dead and wont be coming back.Quote:

As for breaking the bank, in the first week as AGM, Jin was asking me whether we should host a 1000c quarterly competition and a win a throne a month competition. As I set up the Habbox Lottery 3-4 months after he asked me and stopped needing to ask him for money, I'm going to assume that he still has quite a lot stashed away. I don't think it would break the bank as much as those ideas he suggested if the appropriate safeguards were in place.
So we've noticedQuote:

I think the idea has been scattered in a number of threads but here's one I could find that gives some sort of idea what it was about. I guess you could use that post to find the thread and read anything related to it.Quote:

I much prefer the awards system anyway. Or compared to how they made the achievements system currently work anyway.
(I can't remember if I already replied to this thread. I might've oops)
Well I hope all the rep which was given out will be taken away. @Wispur;
that's not going to happen lolQuote:
