Guild Wars 2

So during the headstart I made 5 characters within 10 mins of each other. I’ve deleted 2 of those since the beginning of the game and 1 of my characters has the correct /age of 730 days, and I got first birthday presents all on the same day last year. Somehow 2 days have gotten lost on 2 of my characters in the last year. How does that happen?

I made five characters probably within five minutes of each other during headstart and wrote down the “birth dates” of each. This year, /age was showing 370, 368, 365, etc, instead of 370 for each.

I was concerned until I remembered: I forgot that I created those toons to reserve names and then completely forgot that I re-rolled a couple of times during the week (to get the looks right).

Worse, I remember that this confused me last year, too.

@OP: not saying this is what you did, only that such a scenario is far more likely than some bug randomly changing the start dates of a few toons.

Regardless: today, those “missing” few days are annoying, but by next month, it won’t matter at all.

Ya that’s not what happened, I kept my characters exactly as they were because of GW1 and expecting the Bday presents to be the same. It’s funny because one of the characters that still has a day left now actually got the first years Bday present earlier than the one who got it last night.

In that case, you should file a support ticket. It seems unlikely that this is a general problem affecting everyone (although there will be more data available on that over the next 2-3 days, as we reach the anniversary of the official launch).

The forums are good for communicating a general issue or finding out if anyone else is experiencing similar symptoms. Only support can give you the personal attention required to resolve this.
