TrueAchievements is an Xbox achievement-tracking website that uses a novel method of assessment, TrueAchievement score, rather than a simple Gamerscore. The website features a free scanning service that pulls achievement data and other information from Xbox.com automatically for the user several times a day.
As of June 16th, 2009, TrueAchievements has over 33,000 registered users.[3]
TrueAchievement Score
TrueAchievement score is obtained by taking the base Gamerscore value of an achievement and multiplying it by its rarity, resulting in a more accurate representation of skill required to obtain it. The TrueAchievement score is then displayed on user's pages, along with other pertinent information such as their Gamerscore, the number of achievements they have unlocked, their most recent achievements and played games, and other customizable information.[4]
Features
TrueAchievements.com boasts a wide selection of features, including:
- Achievement tracking, which lists achievements earned, as well as ones placed on a "to-do list."
- A friends list that tracks friends' TrueAchievement score and Gamerscore, as well as an updated feed of their friend's most recently completed achievements and games.
- Solutions and reviews submitted by users.
- Badges awarded both for Gamerscore milestones as well as community interaction.
- Forums for every game, for individual leaderboards, and for the main topics of the site.
- Leaderboards, that compare a variety of stats with gamers in a set group, such as regional leaderboards or user-created leaderboards.
- An individual stats page for every user, detailing the most popular genres played, more detailed information on achievements, and timeline-based graphs for tracking improvement and score gains.
- A chat room that allows users to coordinate matchmaking in real time.
Site donors receive additional benefits such as access to a special donor-only scanner (which has faster scanning times) and removal of advertisements.[5]
