Glad to hear there was something wrong and they are fixing it.
Definitely a strange bug though. Imagine it has something to do with making the character within seconds/minutes are the headstart launched. Seems to be the only similarity between most people.
Well, that makes sense, except a friend of mine made his characters at the exact same time as I did just moments after the servers went live for the headstart yet all his characters received the gifts. So that would indicate it has to be something else.

Update for me, my thief got hers today, though I made her at least a day after my mesmer I believe. Something definitely wrong here.

A lot of these forum users have a classic case of ‘scotoma’ (from the dictionary.. [psychol] a mental blind spot; inability to understand or perceive certain matters) or if you’ve seen The Da Vinci Code, “the mind sees what it chooses to see”. A good number of people do that here, going right over the blindingly obvious and throwing their own suggestions in without having read through the essential pieces of information.
Regarding the first birthday presents, I have received all mine (I made 8 characters on the day of release to people who got the headstart). Let’s re-read that again guys… the headstart people get their’s today… everyone else who did not get headstart access will be getting their’s on the 28th if they played from release.
Thankyou kindly.
Would you please link the source of your quoted “essential pieces of information” that we all seem to have missed?

Took me a while to find it… for some reason I thought I saw that link on the forums but it was on the release page instead. The booster is a 24hr one, and Anet now know to fix the information/fact/tip on these.

7 of my 9 chars have gained the Birthday Gift thus far. 8 of them should have it by now, my ninth no. All 8 chars that should have it all say they have existed 12 months.
Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?
Yup thanks for the fix, and I guess double thanks for the EXTRA gifts on the alts lol.
