General question for everybody, but for ANet too… Were we supposed to get birthday gifts yet? I made five toons within 45 minutes of the three-day head start launch, and just logged into one of them. I will not give details, but I got the birthday gift. Head Start didn’t even start till the 25th, so even taking that into account this is a day early.

Did you forget that February this year had 29 days due to the leap year, character age is counted in days and a character “Year” is 365 days?

Actual year, however, accounts for leap days. There’s no particular reason why GW2 couldn’t make the necessary adjustment.

Accordingly, this could be a bug, an oversight, or (less probably) the originally intended behavior. Whichever it was, this is the right place to mention it — ANet will decide if it’s something they want to change at this late date.
