Space Guy:
If you give people a goal they'll try and achieve it quickly.
I thought you could only have 128,000 bricks anyway :cookieMonster:
Azimuth:
How about we have something useful like - don't get banned from any servers. Or perhaps, not being an idiot?

This means I could make a client-sided add-on that gives you achievements, then tells the server I make in Java you got an achievement. It would then be submitted to the SQL database so it remembers which achievements you got and other people could view them via some method (maybe a .php page, I dunno).

Why would you use Java to interact between Torque and an SQL database?
Also; RTB3 tracks a few things about players such as total cumulative playtime, total servers joined, total add-ons downloaded/installed. There are more interesting things I could do such as server ratings based on player turnover but this would kind of require more servers/players to have RTB installed, since I can't verify if a non-rtb player has joined a server when the server says he has. These would never be achievements because they're not things you can actively work towards constructively but they're still interesting things I could shove on people's profile pages as funfacts.
Like I mentioned in pretty much all the achievement threads, people will always cheat for the achievements so they'll become meaningless (and therefore a huge waste of time) really quick. See the Blockland Trading Cards. It requires people who run servers to not allow people to cheat for achievements, and there will always be people who will change their servers to let players get them all.
