Welcome to Gaia! ::

I came across this thread about the Acheivements, and it really got me thinking, why don't any of them work in guilds? Really, there's no good reason why they shouldn't, and some of the suggestions in the thread for Guild/game focused achievements are stellar.

I think I just wanted to bring it up here in the hopes of giving it a better chance at getting official attention, and some discussion

I like the achievements... and I like how it starts off as a way to encourage you to explore parts of Gaia. Yes it gets silly towards the end... but it shows how to do and familiarize yourself with many aspects and parts of Gaia. How to update your interests and about me, how to make friends, how to get to the shops, how to check out different forums instead of just the one you found day one, how to change clothes and get daily chance, how to remember to do those things on a daily basis, commenting on profiles...

Yet, there is nothing about joining Guilds... or completing a puzzle... not even for visiting your aquarium or winning a race in rally!

I believe all of these things get over-looked and that if there was an achievement for them, people would try them out at least once. They might find something new they love to do!

I know that it would probably also cause a large influx of people joining a guild and ignoring it... but it's the chance we have to take. We would just have to keep on top of removing inactive members.
