Second Anniversary Present Discussion
Zaganher Deathbane
I was thinking about this recently about what could be the 2nd birthday present. I was thinking to have a character reached for 2 years without ever deleting it would be special indeed. Wouldn't it be nice to see that special character fighting along side with you? I'm suggesting to make that 2 year old character to be playable as a hero for that account? What do you guys think?
Ferret
Not sure to be honest, i think i'd rather have some funky new pet access, maybe as a 2nd year pressie you get one of the Asian mini-pets.
I still have both of my original characters.

My very first char is 14 months (iolin) and i think that having him as a hero would be awsome

Tbph...birthday presents shouldn't be character based.
My oldest character is 21 months old, about 15-20 days before release?
This is due to the deletion of previous test characters. I only stuck with warrior as I liked to play them. My account has been active since release. (Before release, but this doesn't count towards /age)
I'd love to see some kind of ascetic thing which you CAN'T sell. Minipets were fab - but I hate the fact any random person can buy one.
Just my thoughts.

I'd rather actually get something like a minipet. The ability to use yourself as a hero isn't much of a reward, particularly if you already have a full team of 8 players.

If you want to be a hero, get a hero give him your armor/stats/weapon/skills and then call him you.
Something you can't sell would be cool. That way people would stick with this game long to get the item.

I think you should be able to use any lvl 20 char as a potential hero for your group no matter what (and I just started a shiny new thread on that subject), but I still wouldn't mind seeing some sort of special 2-year present beyond just a minipet. The pets really don't do anything anyway. Now, if the idea of pets collecting loot for you actually sees fruition, then that's another story...

I wonder what they will be? Will anything new be released or will it just be the same old random mini pets. Personaly...i think there should be a special present given to those with a 2yr toon (not 2yr old account). I would love either a mini Abaddon, Wurm or Palawa Joko. Or a special token we coud take to an anniversary gift vendor so we could choose a mini pet or special limited edition weapon or armor set. Yeah I know the token idea has bout as much chance as a snowball in hell of happening...but a girl can dream. Still would like one of those three as a minipet though
Ok rambling time over

Minipets again would be lame and also creatively lazy. Whatever they do it should not be trade-able.

Well if you look at the event page on the official site about Birthdays,
http://www.guildwars.com/events/inga...aypresents.php
you will see this:
I'd say that pretty much confirms there will be a new set of minis every birthday.
I don't think more minis is lazy at all; considering we get at least one new campaign every year with new people and monsters I'd say there will always be some cool new ones for them to release.

I love the mini pets. As a ranger, it gives me the feel of having two pets with me even though only one attacks. And for my non ranger characters..it gives them a travel companion too.
As for the no trade item idea...dont know if i like that or not...what ifyou get something on one toon but you cant really use it but can on another toon? Then you would get stuck with an unusable present.
Another idea might be...a special trim for your cape..this would signify your toon has been with GW for 2 years. And if not cape trim..then something visible on our 2yrd old toon's armor. An amulet, broach, or sash that is dyeable would be cool as well.

It would be cool to have some visual detail over your armor to signify your seniority. Probably wouldn't be cape trim though as that's a guild thing and a PvP thing.
Ferret
I'd like to see a special mini-pet or something that adds to your armor or helm or somesuch.
I'd really like to be able to get the Asian mini's...they have a big unfair advantage with those (and can make a fortune on them).

totally agree with you an aura perhaps
J3mo
Wings would be awesome ^^
dudeimoncoke
i remember when gaile first announced the minipets she said something along the lines of "wait till you see what you get for the second one" or something so im guessing it won't be a minipet
{DvT}Tim
I have 2 characters i made the day the game came out, and a third a few days younger. I just want something i can make some money off of

Asian mini's should not be exclusive, the same set of mini's should be available to everyone as soon as new one's are created.
Just annoys me that they have this exclusive access to them.

Maybe they could make the minipets a little more active...
Get your loot or something if you defeat a monster?

Account > Specific Character
Ferret
I disagree, i think it should be character based.
It is a reward for actually keeping a character going instead of just constantly scraping and starting again.
I dont say this because i kept all my original characters, because i didnt, but i'm proud of the two i did keep going from the start. It would be nice to see them get something special.
Not sure about wings (montioned above), but maybe some exclusive armour design or helmet/mask modification or even an aura thing.

Character based means 4..9..+ gifts. Account means one. My greedy side says character based.
At least they should check the pets you have in yourself when you open the box, so you don't get one you already have.

/signed for rubys idea.
/notsigned for OP
How bout for 2nd years you get an extra bag of storage on that char. that way you can carry more loot then a 1yr.
~the rat~
Sterrekat
A new idea:
On your 2nd birthday, you get some weird skill, witch you can keep forever on that character...
Like some freaky ''festoon-trew-attack'' or a ''cake in the face-attack'' ( with candles XD)
( blinded for 10 sec
) or a birthday-card-shield
More ideas?

Hand of Apollyon
If you want distinctive armor to show how old you are.......Birthday hats :P
It would be cool, and you can't sell armor. ^^
I quite like the idea of getting a card or something you can trade for a customised (as in you can choose mods, as well) weapon.
or the wurm, especially if it tunneled like the proper wurms.

Priest Of Sin
I don't think that it should be an armor thing, because #1, Hats are pointless in PvP, and I like my armor the way it is. I don't need a broach or sash cluttering it up. But the aura thing... ^^
FOR THE DEVS: to save time, why not just give us the flaming aura from Ascension in proph? We got to have that for all of 4 seconds.

2 words: Birthday suit.
And I mean the real one. >_>
So much for the T rating...
But seriously, I think we're getting a new set of minipets and that's that. New mini pets prices will be sky high, then drop to 10k in 1 month.

you will get one of a new series of minipets, and you will like it or else.

I'd really like to see a non tradable item. Something useful for PvE, and PvP alike. (MiniPets don't do much in PvP other then occupy storage) Something Unique and Flashy to show off that you've been around and faithful. And something to be envied.
I'm not implying that in PvP it should give you an advantage, or it could play too much into the MetaGame. It'd be cool to have a Level 21... but that would be unfair in PvP. It'd be cool though in PvE to have a increased Gold chances, Improved attributes, /favor away from portals, etc. etc.
My Thoughts for PvP/PvE:
Aura equivalent
/Age emote (Similar to Rank) (Must be over 21 to use this command)
/bonusitem (Unique Customized Item)
Or even a skill which is only obtained by age.
Maybe for the Third year...
