Slashdot Launches User Achievements

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-believe-it-took-so-long dept.

In a concerted effort to compete with more popular MMOs like World of Warcraft, we've decided to add an Achievement system to Slashdot. We've retroactively granted around 900,000 achievements to our logged in users. You can view them from your user page, or you can see my list if you're curious what a REAL achiever looks like. Many achievements have been sprinkled throughout the system and are awaiting discovery by dedicated Slashdot users, but a starter list of achievements is in the FAQ. I'll toss you one freebie: you can register your wow main for points if you're that kind of person. Now go forth and achieve!

    Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, spell it "edumacation".

    "Slashdot is now like my Xbox 360?"

    Not quite. Slashdot has better graphics.

    Calling Slashdot a game, even on April 1st, is somewhat disengaging for those of us coming here in an attempt to have an intellectually honest discussion, while flooded by meme trolls and fanboys posting for sport.

    Smart way to clamp negative feedback by posting today, though. You can test random stuff on us and call it a joke if the feedback is negative.

    You can make it a tradition. April 1st, the "Try to Make Slashdot Worse" day.

    the gnaa pinata: get slapped in the face by a bunch of black dongs in the bathroom at a mexican restaurant. Yeah, it's just another friday night for you, but it's still an achievement.

    Have nothing to add to this thread but I really need to get on this whole achievement whoring thing.
