I like having the ability to check on my Characters age with /age

However on my second account about 3 characters are coming up to their first birthday, and as I don't play the account that much I would like something more precise than just months.

The main reason for this is that I didnt take note of the creation date of most of these as i had no idea as to the existence of minatures when I originally made them, Now I have one character at 11 months old and I check every day to see when it will turn 12 months,

This is rather tedious as i would much prefer to be able to get the days as well.

While this is not a essential thing it would be nice, and its logical as I'm sure most people know when their birthday is, should our characters not know too?

If it just did months until 1 month before char's birthday, then did a countdown of days. e.g. XXX is 11 months old and as 12 days until there birthday

An idea, and reduces extraneous data more of the time

I too have been wondering what the exact date and time my character was created.

Doesn't seem like to hard of a thing to implement and it would save me the trouble of checking and finding out my chars are still 11 months or 23 months old... for what seems like 6 weeks

This has been proposed over and over again. Yet again I consider this a good thing for game play experience.

Why not know something that you already take for granted in real life?
Is it a technical issue that keeps them from adding this feature?

As in real life, you can even throw birthday parties and such. It brings more soul into the game.

Just another thought on this came to mind, rather than having the /age command changed would it not be possibel to put the creation date on the character selection screen for each character?

I would have thought more than just 6 folk would desire this lol, but oh well you live and learn

even better:

have a new tab in the hero window, in addition to "Faction", "Titles" and "Account".
Make a new "Statistics" tab there and then you can display things like character age and deaths, RA matches won/lost, time played, number of guilds you've been in and whatnot ...
anet could just keep adding new stats in their updates.

None of my characters have received presents on their exact birthdays (1st or 2nd). I have screenshots from their creation dates, and mostly they got presents 2-3 days after their nominal brthday. So I'm not sure that exact age would do much for you.

I too would like to see months and days, but I like the idea of a stat tab even more.
