furbster: Because not everything could be calculated using archive databases. Some achievements must be given manually, based on player reports.

Fencer: Hmm ... I believe the Black rook is the one which couldbe counted :))

Gror: Not really, many of them were purchased through the Black Rook Registry feature and they are marked as 5 year Brain Rook orders instead.

Fencer:  I would agree with the black rook achievement issue if it stated so in the achievement, for example, you could easily resolve the discussion by stating "Purchase a Black Brain Rook membership level at full price" and call it good.  But unless it states that I will continue to believe that I and the others that got a deal for their brain rook should still get the achievement points as it simply states:  "Purchase a Black Brain Rook membership level."

Thanks.

rednaz23: Sure. When I have time for it.

Gror: yea... awhile back the special of "buy 1, get 1 free" was a deal. (Normally a black rook lifetime membership costs the same as 10 year membership.) So some (like myself) was able to pay for a 5 year membership, and someone else pay for the other 5 year membership - and then both of us would get the black rook at basically 1/2 cost.

Got mine in 2006 - 2 more years and my "investment" will have paid off.
