First off, not really a suggestion directed towards SO2 seeing as this would be just a wee little big for a donor only game. But it is easily possible.
I don't know what it is about achievements in a game that fascinates people. Maybe that feeling of accomplishment or possibly the rivalry to get it before someone else. But achievements have always made games more of a joy to play. As well as give reason to go for hours on end. So not only could peopel go after weapons, but they could also go after achievements. This would be one of the easier additions code wise seeing as the hardest part would be to save the achievement status and I'm pretty sure Meiun has saving down pat by now. :P In this post I will keep a list of achievement ideas. From me and from anyone who decides to post here with an idea. Presuming those suggestions are not out of whack that is. So enjoy, and add/comment were you see fit. Try to come up with a witty name to go along with the achievement as well. You can also suggest new names for achievements already on the list. Now I know the problem with PvP achievements is the fact that people can just work together to obtain them. But this is all just a suggestions thread. So don't flame saying "WTF they can just stand there killing each other" if someone suggest a PvP achievement.
You would display the gaining of these achievements by a simple 32x32 or whatever size icon you want appearing in the top right corner for say 5-10 seconds
To look at achievements after having gained them, you would need another menu or something.
These gained achievements could also give a "title" that would display under your name allowing for you to show off what you have obtained.
Please note that there can be any number of the idea of the same thing or close to the same thing. But that is because some people may have different names for it. All duplicates will be put for name comparison so that people can choose the funniest one. I will not put achievements that make no sense at all in the list.
Also if you could, please try and use proper spelling and capitals. I hate Having to go through and fix everything >.>

You would display the gaining of these achievements by a simple 32x32 or whatever size icon you want appearing in the top right corner for say 5-10 seconds
To look at achievements after having gained them, you would need another menu or something.

On another forum I frequent, they have some special achievements that people go after, and they display these achievements by putting these little "banners" in their signature, which are a little bigger than userbars.
I'd also suggest making the majority of the achievements extremely hard, so you can give those people who find the game boring after level 99 (or 100) something impossible to do.
I want to rename :
I've Been Everywhere -> Around the World
Be Kind, Please Rewind -> Back to Square One
Meet Sandman -> OMGITSHUGE
Stickinator -> King of Stick-kind!
Faithful Blow -> You must be cheating
You don't rename, you just get to put your name suggestion along with the other name suggestion. :P
And Twinky, this is about ingame, not forums. Although they could do a banner like with the donor thing. But that would be a little more work and probably server costly.
Learn to dodge: get hit by every weapon.
kill finder: kill one of every monster.
pay day: get (?) amount of gold in a day.
Mega mosh: Be online with (?) amount of people.
major max: be the highest or part of the highest level online.
Christmas: be there on that day.
Halloween: be there on that day.
Easter: be there on that day.
underworld excavator: fall in every hole in the game.
WW3: be in a area with (?) people with pvp on.
Gods of stick online: be online with a gm.
Mount Olympus: be online with all the mods.
Bumed before hop: Hit some one without adequate AGI over a hole.

Well you could show off in the forums better than you could in-game.
To make acheivements worthwhile to the player, all oppertunities to display them are good, forums wouldn't be a bad idea for banners and such I reckon.
Lifeless: be online for x hours in a row
Must SAVE!: play x hours without saving
Lucifer's ticket:die x ammount of times
Its my world!: Be the only person online.
Oooops...:Get kicked once
Get out and stay out:Get kicked more than once
Spawn please?: Be online with meiun.
Loser: Get killed by a blob.
;D
I don't think getting kicked should be a acheivement, it would make people want to be disruptive which is never good....

That's what I was thinking, saving happens automatically...
If you guys are serious/considering about these achievements, there's a topic on the Hang Out with tons of these from a while ago. Half of them aren't really good, but there's some good ideas somewhere in it.

when coming up with achievements you haft to think about them not too easy and not prompt bad behaviour. time achievements can be done by just being afk. being kick achievements will promote bad behaviour or begging of gm.
QuoteSpawn please?: Be online with meiun.
really now? but i half suggested one like this already.
the "Loser: Get killed by a blob." sounds like something harder for the higher level players with vit. not sure about that one.
"Lucifer's ticket:die x ammount of times" dyeing is too east to abuse.
"Its my world!: Be the only person online" this one is ok i guess. the only problem is that achievements are meant to make people play the game.
Too lazy for Color Font..
Speedy Speed Boy! - Obtain 30 agility
Ya... Most of the recent suggestions have just been ignored because they do not work as achievements. Some of them were just stupid.
And I don't expect people to color the fonts. It just wastes their time because it doesn't help me at all.
T rock do you want achievement that only some people can get? like Rentofrent? if so i have some more ideas.
Edit: i see you do.
bare necessities: get to level 100 spending all your start points in one skill.
noob shish kabob: get a is as your first weapon.
overstocked: fill your Inventory.
I think achievements like these are ok if you can more than one account working with the same achievements.
yeah I know I was just thinking of a few ideas.
If you could get more then one account working for the same achievements, that greatly increases the amount of achievements you could have. But for player specific achievements.. Everything has to be obtainable by everyone.

can you word that in a different way?
No player specific achievements. Doesn't get more clear then that. xD
"Speedy Speed Boy! - Obtain 30 agility is a player" is a player specific achievement. as in a level 100 guy with 20 agi will never be able to get that. and if you cant have more than one account working on the achievements than you never can get them all. i dont think that's good. i think all the achievements should be able to be gotten by any one with any configuration of there account.
i tyred coming up with achievement every one can get. except for my last post because i thought you did not mind.
it is not player specific, it is character specific. Player specific would be something like The Devil - Be named Lucifer. If multiple accounts could work on the same set of achievements, tons of opportunities would be there.

what its called is besides the point. do you want achievements every one can do?
Your obviously not reading what i'm saying if you still need to ask that. -_-"

"oxiclean: get 30 str before level 50" is the achievement ok?
Often 30 does come before 50, so long as you can count.
Think your missing a word buddy.

thats a good one! i wish i thought of that.
early bird: be the first one to log on that day without that achievement.
I thought of this at the top of my head.
The Ultimate Warrior: Defeat Meiun in a PvP battle. Meiun must be wearing a mod helm and have his guns equipped.
Nice. Very nice. Added :P
Pretty cool idea you had there. I played an MMO, called Dragonica, that had exactly the same feature, that you are trying to describe.
You had a menu in the style of a book, and on every page were member titles.
If u had obtained them, they were clickable and shown under your charakter name (only once at a time of course). If you didn't had em, they were just greyed out.
This idea wouldn't be a result of much coding time, more like pretty easy 'n fast feature, however it would still add completely new aspects to the game experience, i'm lovin it. :)
Yeah, Lunia also had a title thing like that.
You would get them after you did a certain quest, and then you can equip it and the title would show just like that.
That whole title thing is a whole new aspect to the achievements.. *secretly adds to the first post*

~Aqua
What? I thought easter eggs only appear when you're next to it. And even then, the whip attack is too high to hit the egg. Any other attack requires you to be at close range, causing the egg to appear on screen.
Ex: Behind a bush.
~Aqua
Ah.
About the titles, MapleStory just got a title system too which you can get achievements that can only be obtained by one person at a time, and would give buffs if you had that title.
Ex. Kill the most DarkSages.
The person that has killed the most DarkSages would obviously get the title, but if someone else suddenly killed more, then... *Poof* You no longer have that title, and the other person does.
That could work with amounts of gold, or items too. And Titles could just be an extension to the Achievements menu, and would be like a top 5 list.
that's called a leaderboard (or simply hight score) and would work better as a new post.
@Aqua
that Easter idea was great. so im going to steal it for presents. :P
peaking present: open a chrismiss box from behind a bush.
one in a million: have a egg or a present box land on you.
By the way, you cna see eggs when they're falling, regardless of distance. Just a note...
~Aqua
Alright...let's see what I can do with this:
Over-achiever : Achieve every achievement, not including this one. Also, achievements regarding stats don't apply.
May as well have been Everest? : Reach the highest point in the world.
Cowwabunga! : Jump from the highest point in the world.
And this next one nobody will ever achieve...for obvious reasons, but I guess we'll see:
Harry Potter: 99 intelligence (stamina)
And better yet...for the level 100s...I know the name is pure genius, you may kiss my toes later:
Dumbledork: 104 intelligence (stamina)
So, how do ya' like them apples?

Seriously, that's a nice one.
The early bird achievement is VERY pointless. The first person to log on after its being added gets the acheivement. The next player logs in, but isn't first. However, the other player already has the achievemnt. You can't log in without getting it, because anyone else on already has it.
Too lazy to read the others, that just really stood out.

Ehh...well I didn't come up with it, but I'd assume the achievement is only given out once per day... :-\
