Copper, Casual data miner: Discovered and uploaded a database item to Wowhead that had never been seen before.

This might not be the best place to post this, but I found at least three new npcs that aren't in the database yet, even downloaded and installed/ran the Wowhead client to gather the data from them, and followed instructions to upload, but the program said "nothing to upload" and no pages for those NPCs were created. :-( Not sure what I'm doing wrong when I followed all of the instructions....

Anyway, for some additional achievement ideas, perhaps a very basic (copper) achievement for even downloading/running the client in the first place? Would encourage more participation on that end. Going in hand with that, achievements for varying levels of character uploading?

Hmm. I'll have to ponder this longer XD

edit to remove a suggestion that already existed - whoops!

/facepalm.

I was looking at the site achievements. Thought of a suggestion for site achievements. So sent in some Feedback. Then I decided to browse the forums, and saw that in the first post for this thread, there was my suggestion. -.-

EDIT: I have come to (possibly) redeem myself. How about an achievement for joining WoWhead on Facebook or Twitter. Not sure how it would work but perhaps it is possible.

There should be an achievement for writing that correctly too.

Perhaps, a Silver achievement for getting all the different bronze ones, and likewise a Gold for getting one of each silver.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gnub##DELIM##

On the uploading data via the Wowhead Client:
'Peeing in an ocean of pee', or perhaps something along those lines.

I'll quote my post in another thread, which got locked.

I said(couldn't press the quote button in a locked thread, so you'll have to live with it being non-clickable):

I love this new achievement idea, but it would be nice if it did something extra. Like, bronze silver and gold achievements give different amounts of points, when you get X points you get a fancy little icon, like a crown or something, next to your avatar in the forum. Every X points it could update to something fancier.

Though, this might encourage spamming, which wouldn't be all that great...

Either way, I think the icons are fine just the way they are, but if they were to be updated, I'd suggest copper/silver/gold Murloc statues.

Looks like they took my idea =DDD

150 MB is a lot. I've been uploading since the client existed and I'm at 62.9 MB. Yikes.

Also, is it really necessary to have the achievement numbers in two places? Isn't under the avatar sufficient? What could be the reason why you'd want it next to the name, before the post time?

We did that so they'd appear in the blog. Looks some some conditional logic is needed!

For me, too. I only play 2 months a year (regularly) and now and then on the PTR. Not really much.
However, look at adashiel. He's an hero.(##RESPBREAK##)652##DELIM##Neutronimity##DELIM##

There should be an achievement for the original closed beta testers. (Individuals with accounts created between 04/15/06 - 06/1/06)

We were promised a "flag" for helping out (something like the blurb people with colored text have under their names or a colored name through the site to denote our seniority), but as far as I see we never got anything for the time, effort, and bug reports we submitted. It'd be really cool if you could somehow recognize these individuals.

I still have emails where I discussed bugs with Skosiris and Mystadio, and a lot of my suggestions wound up being implemented. We helped a lot making this site grow into what it is today, but at the moment we get nothing special and are currently lumped in with anyone who created an account a full year after us.

I know they read my whining even if they don't acknowledge it :). Also, I don't even know how you upload that much ... do screenshots count towards that?

Also, why is the early member silver? It's a feat of strength.

I've been using the site pretty much every day since. I never really saw a huge need for forums on the site other than shooting the breeze. Though a much more interesting response would involve a Mekgineer's Chopper and a portal in the Caverns of Time.

Unless they had multiple email lists, I actually have a list of the emails for all the original wowhead beta testers. There were 98 of us - Making 100 users including Skosiris and Mystadio. I'd actually be curious how many of us are still around.

My main contributions were reporting a lot of display bugs in the priest section.

Damn it. I was going to link that.

This is really clever.
