deathknight.info has posted screens from the alpha test for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, revealing the first info on a potential new achievement system for the massively successful MMO.

The posted screens reveal that typing /achievements into the game’s console opens up an achievements menu, complete with early achievements which have point values attached to them.

First impressions point towards a system similar to Deeds in Lord of the Rings Online, and the Tome of Knowledge which is to be included in the upcoming Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

Some of the achievements seen include levelling characters to 80 and completing a daily quest each day for five days. Achievements also look to fall into seven categories: Statistics, PvP (listed twice), Arena, General, Miscellaneous, Quests and Exploration.

Nothing has been officially announced by Blizzard and the presence of the achievements in the alpha don’t necessarily indicate they will make the final release – it could be a feature held back for a future release or simply abandoned altogether.

With Blizzard’s Invitational set to take place later this month we’re expecting to hear more on achievements then.
