WoW gets achievements when Lich King hits

Blizzard announced that they have developed an achievement system, ala Xbox Live and Steam, for World of Warcraft. The achievements will range in difficulty and category. For example, there are achievements for PVP, PVE, exploration, professions, etc. Blizzard is also including what they call “Feats of Strength”. These will be near impossible achievements that only appear once you have earned them. Think of them as secret achievements for the hardest of the hardcore. The achievements will be arriving when Wrath of the Lich King ships.

I have a feeling in my gut that this might make the gaming world implode. World of Warcraft is addictive enough as is. With the addition of achievements, WoW addiction will escalate to heroin strength. Thank god I was able to get my brother off the WoW before this hit. I can see it now, Age of Conan will be the methadone clinics for WoW junkies.
