Achievement Servers Article

Post by Advent » Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:13 am

Very funny and accurate article about achievement servers from RockPaperShotgun:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/06 ... g-nothing/

" - this server promised altruism, a perfect barter system where good-natured strangers would help each other attain these hallowed Achievements. Instead, it was a mess of self-interest, abuse and griefing."

I am proud to state that I got kicked off an achievements server one of the few times I used it. I make sure it never ruins my stats tho :D
