http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2009/05/wi-ragnarosclassic.jpgOne of our readers, Eli, wrote in last night with a suggestion for a Breakfast Topic (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/breakfast-topics/): if achievements had existed in classic WoW, what would they have been? It provoked some back-channel discussion here with staffers wondering how the game would have been different if beating the boss or dungeon wasn't the only thing on your plate:

Me: What would a hard-mode Ragnaros have been like?

Adam Holisky: Kill Ragnaros using only one tank!

Eliah Hecht: Domo comes back from the dead and starts randomly sheeping raid members in revenge.

Other suggestions included killing Hakkar (http://www.wowwiki.com/Hakkar_the_Soulflayer) with all of his priests still up, hearthing with Hakkar's debuffs and infecting at least 500 players with Corrupted Blood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood) (back when this was still possible, of course), killing at least 500 Dwarves without dropping combat in the Lyceum (http://www.wowwiki.com/Lyceum), the Stratholme (http://www.wowwiki.com/Stratholme) timed run, and -- as Sacco suggested -- "getting through an UBRS (http://www.wowwiki.com/UBRS) run without (anyone) quitting." Having recently leveled a Shaman through this content, I can tell you that's one achievement I wouldn't have managed.

If you were back in classic WoW again with no chance of advancing beyond level 60 talents and gear, what would make for a worthwhile achievement?http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Breakfast Topic: What if achievements had existed in classic WoW?
