I was one of the many who rolled a bunch of different characters in the first couple months of release to determine which profession I liked the most. Unfortunately for me, it was my fifth character that I enjoyed the most, which was created almost a month after release. All others have been deleted.

So does that mean that my one year birthday present was deleted with that first character, and that I have to wait for my oldest character to age a year before I’m rewarded?

I would assume -since many players are in that boat- that it’d be based from character age.

It’s each character’s birthday, not your account’s birthday.

Characters that are one year old will receive a Mini Queen Jennah, a 24-hour Birthday Booster, and a Scroll of Experience.

So yes, you will need to wait until your character is 1 year old before you get a birthday gift for them (which it sounds like next month you’ll get it, if it was created almost a month after release).

Any other characters will get one when they are 1 year old. They are introducing it now because many players created a character on day 1 (or -3 due to the headstart) and it needs to be in-game before they hit 1 year old.

Yep character birthdays.

In my case this means I can look forward to 5 gifts spread across about 5 months. And wondering why I didn’t think to write the date down after all the times I wished I’d done that in GW1.

(Not that it’s a big issue, but I like to know so I don’t keep logging in thinking “Maybe it’s today…” for a week or so before the right date.)

In GW1 I had a character called Tanya Levenmar. You can probably guess when her birthday was. Likewise Seppy Tuwon is not too difficult to decipher. Another character called Santi Claus always used to get me a birthday present at christmas

This can also help if you have trouble thinking up names or the one you want is already taken. Jan, April, May, June are convenient first names for fem chars. Julius & Augustus works well for male chars. If I created a character today he would probably be called Augustus Wonfyve.

In GW1 I could tell from the login screen when a birthday was due which is a lot quicker than logging in to them all and typing /age.

I’ve always liked having lots of alts

Just Mystic Forge fodder than. No worries. I don’t care for the mini pets anyways. They get deposited and never looked at again. So I’ll have 1 saved and 4 dropped in the forge. If i can’t forge them, I’ll destroy them.

The dance was more for the actual birthday then the gift
