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.

I know how difficult it is, I've wasted a lot of time on it already. Wasting any more won't hurt.
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.

I agree that the awards system is better for whatever this is trying to accomplish. I don't really see a huge point in an achievements system at all...anyone have a link to the discussion where the idea began?

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.

- Events
- HxL
- Forum

Each category would have beginner, medium, hard tasks in each one (the Habbox category would include all the departments that don't have their own category). Single tasks would have small rewards like tokens but completing a set would get a bigger reward. You can give them funny names and it would get newbies more involved in the wider community and might be something fun for older members to complete too. Maybe some sort of 'completionist' forum userbar for those that complete the whole set that gets removed when new tasks are added. They would have terrible names that involve bad puns and would be more of an achievement than the current awards system.

I much prefer the awards system anyway. Or compared to how they made the achievements system currently work anyway.
