July 3rd, Not much new to report
Hello all,
Well, it seems that Blizzard's new expansion will probably be Cataclysm, and if so, will revolve around the Maelstrom.
Cool thing about this? We'll most likely see tons of underwater mounts!
Other than that, work is continuing on the new layout... I know it's a long time coming, but it will be worth it, promise :)

June 29th, New Top 10 list
Hello all,
Spent most of the night working on the new site search engine. Rage quit after about 3 hours of work, and figured I'd put in an old feature
request by one of our users. So, if you look over at the top 10, you'll now see two more items for Top Ten Horde, and Top Ten Alliance. Enjoy :)

June 23rd, Midsummer bugs being fixed with restart today
Hello all,
Bornakk has released some notes regarding fixing Midsummer here.
6/22/09
* We are in the process of applying an in-game fix that will restart all of the quests associated with the Midsummer Fire Festival event and allow players to complete them once again. If you are in the process of completing an achievement such as Extinguishing Kalimdor, this fix will reset your progress and you will need start over. This fix will require realms to be restarted.

June 21st, Issues with Midsummer
Hello all,
For those that are concerned about the "bugs" having to do with Midsummer, including fires not being reset, and
"Unusual Activity" not being reset, this is what Blizz has to say about it.
Greetings!
While the Midsummer Fire Festival event has begun, we wanted to take some time to explain that there are some currently known issues with the Festival, and to let the community know that we are working on resolving them.
The first issue, and what seems to be the most prevalent reported issue, is regarding gaining Fire Blossoms from fire quests that were completed last year. This affects the Honor the Fires and Desecrate the Fires quests, as they appear to have not reset from last year. We understand the concerns many players have about being able to obtain enough blossoms for this year to buy what they wish, and we are actively working on the issue.
Second, there have been many reports that the quest "Unusual Activity" has not reset from last year. This is being investigated by development.
In addition, we have had many players report that Crown of the Fire Festival from last year is not granting achievement credit for King of the Fire Festival. This appears to be a result of the quest not having been completed while the achievement system was live (as last Midsummer was before the achievement system was implemented). If it were to grant retroactive achievement for King of the Fire Festival, it would have been granted upon launch of the achievement system.
While we do apologize for any frustration, we want to actively assure the community that we are working on resolving these issues, and any others that may appear. We will update this post with information as we get it.
Blizzard post about it.

June 17th, Argent Tournament
Hello all,
Been working hard on the new layout in between spouts of real life interupting every now and then. In fact, the
rest of the week looks pretty busy with plans tonight, tomorrow, and father's day over the weekend. I'm going to
try my hardest to get the layout up before I leave for the weekend, but if it's not by then, expect to see it Sunday.
On a WoW note, who's excited about the new Argent Tournament stuff?
I know I am, as I've only missed two days of dailies since the feature was introduced. However, a lot of people seem
to be upset about the new dragonhawk mount. I can understand this as a lot of the Horde players with Mountain o' Mounts
are annoyed that the Sunreaver dragonhawk is essentially red. I find
this to be silly for two reasons. First off, dragonhawks are more of a BC thing, I may have missed it, but I'm 99.999% sure that there
are no dragonhawks in Northrend. Not only that, but since the alliance get the amazing looking Silver Covenant Hippogryph.
Which, ironically enough, the Alliance are complaining about lol. They say "Ugh... another hippogryph". You can follow the thread
here.
Anyway, gotta run, but I felt bad for not making a post in a lil' bit. Hope everyone in New England is enjoying this
complete suck weather we've been having :(

June 12th, Plans for the weekend
Hello all,
For those that don't follow the Twitter Page, I am
currently working on a new layout for the site that was designed by my buddy CloudFlyin (formally "Justin", he does a lot of database work for the site).
So at some point this weekend you should see the new layout go up. I'm 100% open to ideas for things that you guys would like
to see on the front page, or things you think could be done better. Write me here with any
ideas. Right now, I plan on having a few things on the right hand side beneath the "Top 10" that will include a twitter feed,
a Blue tracker from The Official Achievement forum, but
it will be easily expandable to show contests and other things. So... if you have some ideas for what you want on the site, now's the time
to tell me about them, as redoing layouts is pretty much my idea of hell, so I'm not likely to do it too often :)

June 10th, Achievements and Twitter
Hello all,
Two quick updates. First, the achievement %'s and "World First" values will take
a couple of weeks before I would truly call them "accurate". So give it a little
time :)
And second, we now have a Twitter Page, and
I'll be tweeting on it pretty regularly, join up if you're interested in some of the
"not quite front page news" worthy updates, and I'll most likely be tweeting a ton
from Blizzcon.

June 8th, The long awaited... much anticipated...
Hello all,
I'd like to introduce you to the newest feature of WoW-Achievements.com! A lot of
you (and I mean like... several e-mails a day... for MONTHS) have asked me to put in
a "% completed" type of feature into the site. Well, since you've all waited so
patiently, I'd like to introduce the newest feature. WoW-Achievements now tracks
players progress through specific achievements (soon to be all achievements).
Using the data that you guys gave me about what achievements you wanted tracked, I
put little achievement profile pages together, such as Lil' Game Hunter.
On this page you'll see, Name of achievement, points, faction, % of players ABOVE 4000 POINTS
who have gotten this achievement! These numbers will become more and more accurate the
longer my scanner runs, so if you think that you got your achievement before the listed
"First person" then simply wait a little bit and you'll be scanned. If there are any
rewards / Guides, you will see a link to them on these pages.
My 2nd favorite part of these new profile pages are the videos! I want to get as many
videos on this site as possible, and I want YOU guys to make some videos! Right now
I'm accepting videos linked from youtube, however I'll be adding support for all files
soon enough. Personally, the song on the video from The Lurker Above
has been stuck in my head for days... so good. Rapid Defense is the
perfect example of a helpful achievement video. Voice over, video of the achievement being completed, and
useful tips, so keep this in mind while searching out videos.
You may also notice that while looking through the achievements via the drop down menus above,
you'll see little icons depicting:
: Guide
: Reward
: Video
These are pretty self explanatory.
The achievements with statistics so far are:
Lil' Game Hunter
Armored Brown Bear
40 Exalted Reputations
Insane in the Membrane
Accomplished Angler
100000 Honorable Kills
Battlemaster - Alliance
Battlemaster - Horde
Loremaster - Alliance
Loremaster - Horde
Exalted Argent Champion of the Horde
Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance
Mountain o' Mounts - Alliance
Mountain o' Mounts - Horde
This was a pretty large undertaking, and may have a bug or two in it, although I feel
I tested it pretty well. However, as always, if you find any bugs, please let me know :)
I hope you enjoy it, and look for some more site updates by early next week!

June 4th, "My Toon"
Hello all,
Progress is coming along really well on my next little feature for you guys... I know that
quite a few of you will be excited about it, however... not quite ready to reveal what it is...
(although those of you that follow the site / World of Warcraft Achievement Forums, will probably
already know what it is). So I figure I'll tease it a little bit.
Anyway, as I said, wasn't quite ready to finish that, so I put in a quick, small, but useful
feature. Go ahead, go to your profile page... do it, I'll wait... See the little link "Set
as my toon"? Yea, go ahead and click that... Now you have your default character set!
Will make it nice and easy to get back to your toon's page from any screen as the associated
link to it now appears next to the "Search" button.
Now, it's late (1:42 a.m.) and I suppose I should get to sleep...
On a personal note, I made my Mechano-Hog tonight and am
now totally broke...
