WoW's achievements came with the Wrath pre-patch, 10/14/08. I know because I was there and had like 80% of them unlock instantly on that day so my panel has that date 100s of times. It was actually a highly requested feature because of how popular they were on the 360 at the time.
Even now, its one of the more positive features in WoW, just because it now works like a "journal and tasks and challenges" panel from other games would. Giving you all your larger goals to work towards besides straight up quests, and functioning as the check box for your unlocks.
