One of the Xbox 360's biggest innovations is the use of "Achievements", those cool goals in every Xbox 360 game that can be made with points added to a player's Gamertag score. Valve has added similar achievements to Team Fortress 2. Now comes world that Blizzard might be planning to add something like Achievements to its hit MMO World of Warcraft.

According to Deathknight.info the Achievement system is currently in beta and there is no word on when it might go live in the game itself. There's also no word on how gaining Achievements will help the player beyond points although it might be used to gain certain special in-game items. There's also no word on if Achievements will be released via a patch or if we will have to wait for the game's second commercial expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King.
