How about achievements for xxx number in your minion zoo ?

New Tiers on quests & Battle ?

Just a thought :)

I was about to make the same suggestion: Having an achievement for putting 500, 1000, 1500 and so on minions into your minion zoo. We have similar achievements for plushies and beanbags already, why not for minions as well?!

Harvest dragon achievements! :D it would be lovely to have a tiered achievement for feeding a certain # of harvest dragons c:

Colors of the Rainbow - Complete all the individual pet color achievements Experimental - Have one of each experiment pet (same as the color one, you can have the pet, get the achievement, then change them. Also, this would just be basic colors not "in addition" chibi / scribble of each). Massive Family - Additional tiers 50, 75, 100 Pet Spotlight - Additional tiers 25 (title: spotlight star), 35, 45, 50 (quality prize) Harvest Dragon - Agree w. Oreo! A # of HD quests achievement Popular Ideas - Get X# of likes on your forum posts (maybe release achievement with request that folks don't make "like the post above you" type things, the goal here is to encourage more interaction and quality posts) Fashion Forward - X# of HA likes (maybe release achievement with request that folks don't make "like the HA above you" type things, the goal here is to encourage more interaction around the site) Conversation Starter - Have X # of replies on forum boards you've created Great Point! - Have X number of posts pinned by OPs on their boards (again, requesting that people don't do a "pin and unpin each other posts to get the achievement" kinda thing) Likes to Help - Maybe in the new forums under help&questions OPs can select if an answer was helpful? In which case, X# of helpful posts = achievement? Extended Stay - Have a pet stay in the hotel for X# of days straight. For this, the code would be set so that as long as the pet checked in the same day they were checked out it counted as a continued stay. Alternatively, it could be that pets could "re-up" their stay once they're 48hrs from the auto checkout? Welcome Wagon - What if the site has the option to "send a new user a welcome package" which can only be done once per new user. Perhaps there's a page that shows the most recent X # of users to the site, and each one has a button that says "Send a Welcome Gift". If clicked, they get a pre-set package of Wiz Tokens, Clothes, uh ... idk something else helpful. A user can click it, which costs them idk 1mil sP? Maybe the achievement is initially set at like 5, 10, 15, 20 so there's not too much competition to send them but still enough to encourage it to happen (I mean, hopefully it will also happen just out of generosity). Birthday Fiend - Same concept, when it is a user's B-Day not only do they have the little cake icon (which is adorable and I love it), but if someone hovers over that icon a pop up appears offering to send the user a b-day gift. Perhaps they can pick from a 'Tique Invite, 100, 250, 500 Wiz Token, sP voucher of certain amounts, etc. It would be extra cool if they could put in a price limit and the birthday NPC could select something from the person's WL like Melody is kinda doing with MM!!! If they opt to send a gift, it will cost them that set amount and count towards the achievement. Since multiple people can send someone a gift this one could be a wider / larger range of X# for the achievement!

I think the "have" xyz items type achievements can seem kinda "pointless" at first glance, but in reality they can give folks a list of things to continually work towards through the years which can keep the site and economy active and interesting. They're also nice for folks who want to work on achievements but aren't necessarily comfortable focusing on ones that require a lot of interactions. I would like to see some increased pet-focused things since pets are the bomb dot com, and achievements that encourage interaction (esp. quality interactions) around the site!

For achievements like "Conversation Starter" the code could perhaps be set to not count boards made in certain forums or tagged in certain ways. So for example a "how high can we count" type wouldn't be counted towards the achievement. Again, the goal is to create quality engagement.

On that vein of thought, I'd also like to recommend that some things, like site engagement achievements, have prizes that would be desired by most folks (maybe CSC or something) so that they are appealing to invest time / energy in.

If you can't tell, I'm thinking a lot about how to get more users interacting on the site, and the forums are one of the best ways for that to happen. mentioned that there's like 40k users who are active throughout the year! That blew my mind since it's like 200 - 400 online at one time generally, and less than that found often interacting on the forums. So it's like, how do we encourage users to interact more and thus foster a stronger overall "community".
