wow... /age...

/age doesn't give the exact age, only the number of months. I beleive TsunamiZ is asking if there is a way to determine the number of days his character has been around, probably to tell when its birthday is coming around.

is it that hard to tell that 12 months equals 1 year? /age will tell you your character's age. put 2 and 2 togather...

I think he's looking more along the lines of "How many weeks/days are left until I hit 12 months?" The vague answer from /age isn't 100% clear.

i had the same problem with my warrior, im pretty sure he is asking, specifically how many days are left till his birthday, 11 months doesnt tell you if its 1 day till 12 or 30 days till 12 months, so, cut the guy a break why dont ya

Yeah, there's no easy way of finding out the exact day of the month that your character was created, but checking your /age every day until your character hits 1 year would work, although time consuming.

Wow some of you people are very rude, he asked for a birthday, when you tell someone your birthday do you say... oh it's in November sometime?
It would be nice if Guild Wars gave an exact DAY instead of just how many months we played.

I'd like the /age function to say " # hours, # minutes as of ________."

Sadly, the only way for now that I've seen is just checking every day when you're at 11 months. Once it changes to 12, that's you B-Day. That's what I did for my main's B-Day, but I know how little that actually helps. I just hope your GW.dat isn't super huge, that could help a lot.

I always write that type of stuff down just incase of an emergency...you should know your birthdate...my 4 year old brother even knows his.

Im quite content knowing I made mine in December, and i'll just wait to see exactly when.
But yeah, why has everyone been so rude, although I did think /age gave days as well, but I must have been wrong.

and its not always right----my hubbys character got his minipet on the day he joined his first guild.....that was NOT the day the character was created, as he was unaware of guilds at the time and didnt have the cash in pre-searing join in any case; he formed the guild when he got to ascalon post searing which was weeks after he created his character...........so I am unsure as to why they chose that date (and the date I joined his guild will be my bday, so at least I can look that one up...).......

I just looked at my first screenshot. 
It was a couple days off... :? But still, I've used that method now to find out that two of my girlfriends characters and one of my brothers characters had their birthdays, so that I could hop on their account and check their present, since they don't play anymore.

meh i write it down on a piece of paper and stick it to my computer rofl

just had a thought. If you kept your orginal charatcer through out, you could check the install date for GW and then that most probably be it's birthday. There's not many people i know that install a game and dont play it then. But this would only work if you have kept your orginal charatcer.

If you still have the first character you created, and if you still have your old e-mails, you could look back through them to find your "Welcome to Guildwars" e-mail.
However, I did not get my 1 year birthday present until 1 year and 1 day by my reckoning, as I know I created my character on 24th July 2005 (and the Welcome e-mail confirmed this), but I did not get my birthday gift until 25th July 2006.
I agree that it would be nice if the / age command gave more detailed information. Even if it gave the age in days it would be an improvement.

The only way right now is to check everyday until it changes then you have which day of the month it is. So if you are at 5 months check everyday until it changes to 6 months then you know you have exactly 6 months to go.
