Then, over time, the page morphed into recording achievements ... which was a natural progression ... but I guess it may have made parts of the page unclear.

Regardless, you can still add yourself as the first Master Brewer of Green; https://wiki.project1999.com/Green_(2019)_Server_Firsts is literally a wiki page. Anyone can edit it, as long as they're not vandalizing the page.

But look, in regards to your statement to the staff ("All that work ... and I get nothing?") ... whether you got an "official" server first, or just one you claimed for yourself in the wiki ... you were always going to get nothing. Nobody cares what is written on that page except the people on it, and most of them have long since stopped caring also.

Nobody does server firsts on an emulated server of a 20+ year old game because the clouds part and the sun shines down and they become anointed by the gods ... they do them for the fun of doing them, and maybe then fun of telling random group members "I was actually the first here to do ____".

You had fun (or maybe you didn't?), you can still tell people about your achievement, and you can still record it for all eternity in the wiki (where, again, no one cares): that's all you were ever going to get.

Just like EVERYTHING that ANYONE achieves in this game ... a game that's ultimately about nothing, except one's and zero's on a computer in Rogean's server cage ... the only value is the value you assign.
The character in question that I did the thing with is long deleted so it doesn't really matter anymore I suppose. Had I known I could do something like that on the wiki though I would have done it.

I know I wasn't going to get anything tangible besides the server announcement. That's all I ever wanted, to be recognized as somebody who did something. To feel like somebody, even if only for 15 minutes, in a game where I've been a nobody for 20+ years.

But eh, if people were getting achievements for killing Fippy Darkpaw and getting a level 5 monk, I figured getting 200+ Brewing would have been achievement-worthy. Definitely far harder than any of those.
