Unexplained Achievement "The Maker"? (Score:5, Interesting)

by eldavojohn ( 898314 ) * writes:

I (and many many others) have an achievement [slashdot.org] called "The Maker" ... what does that mean? It's not listed in the FAQ.

Also, how are you computing the total number of Achievements? If you add up my achievements (and if I add the powers of two I get closer) but it doesn't come out to be the number you posted.

Also, if I have CmdrTaco's attention, why not leave this up? You've written the code for it and although it will certainly tax your database (default awards were handed out on different days)

    There's going to be an expansion out soon, upping that to level 60.

        And then they will up it to 80 and recycle content from when you were 60 because they are running out of ideas!

        And with each expansion they will exponentially decrease the difficulty to achieve things until a 2-year-old facerolling the keyboard could... oh. We weren't serious?

        They should definitely have both first post and frist post achievements.

        It seemed like everyone I inspected had 3 achievements to start with.
        So I assume people got their top three achievements.
        Haven't seen a "first post" yet.
