It’s just random. My wife got one years ago, when we played Guild Wars 1. They randomly select people, I guess because it’s too expensive to send a printed card to everyone.

We thought it was a great gesture.

Thanks GW2

Well, that’s true, but they could send emails for the rest too xD

According to the wiki it is not random.

Selection can’t be entirely random because we don’t actually have a postal address for everyone.

I can confirm that selection criteria is a secret, though.

How about a trade Anet? I give you my address, you send me an awesome card and make me feel appreciated

Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!

Well no idea what the criteria is but my wife received one in Tasmania, Australia, which quite surprised us. This was back in the Guild Wars 1 days.

I think it’s a grand gesture and we both really appreciated it.

Of course, she never really let me live it down that she got one and I didn’t. lol
