When the whole achievements system was introduced we were told that older accomplishments that could never be repeated would be retroactively awarded as feats of strength. These would include the AQ World Event, original Naxxramas, PVP ranking awards, and so forth. Here is Blizzard’s official word on the project.
Realm Firsts are implemented in the next beta build although they will be slightly broken due to the fact that we have data issues with existing beta testers. For now, here’s the list. We’ll probably add more.
Realm First to 80
Realm First to 80
Realm First to 80
Realm first to 450
Realm First 10/25 end-boss kills
Keep in mind, this will be broken on beta realms slightly. For example, in the current build, Realm First Mage to 80 is actually implemented. Well, Daelo, our Lead Encounter Designer, was testing something and leveled a Mage to 80 instantly and got the achievement for the server. On live realms, this will never happen. On live realms, all blizzard employee accounts are not counted toward server-firsts. But this part of the technology was not yet implemented.
Also, when those Realm First achievements go live, they won’t be accurate on the beta realms. But on live realms, the data will be pure and the information will display correctly.
Something to note about Realm Firsts:
A Realm First window stays open for 1 minute after initial completion of the Feat Of Strength. This means if 25 people kill Malygos as a Realm First, they’ll all get credit. But what this also means is that if two players reach level 80 within a minute of each other, they will both get credit as well. (src)
