They sent out cards to people last year as well. It seems they sent 1300 this year.

I got one too. It was a great surpise, and hugely appreciated when it popped in thru the letterbox. It's really nice of Anet to send these out, and although they cant possibly send them out to everyone it's really nice to see the personal touch coming into an online game.

They may not do things we like or agree with but I think we can all appreciate the efforts the Anet team put in and I want to wish those Anet staff reading this thread a happy holidays and a great 2008

1300 is around 0.3% of the GW population: congrats to the lucky few

Is this america only? Or random people across the world? I'd love to get one of these, as I'm one of the biggest Charr fans there is.

Hmmm, how to they get your postal code?

I didn't get one myself, but I think it's funny that people are complaining that only 1300 were sent... I want those people to ask themselves this before they torture themselves with emo thoughts : Does Anet have your address?

Lol.

They could have sent ... none ... and you'd have been happy? Or maybe the OP and the few others that are on GWG (that must be a very very "l33t" part of the GW population

) should have avoided mentioning it?

Stop being selfish, some people get great loot, some don't, some get lucky with minipet-mania or when buying the right magazine with the golden ticket, some have the BMP and some don't, some have all title maxed and some don't, some have fun and some are angry, et caetera.

Again, congrats to the lucky few .

In the past they've always been sent to people who made outstanding contributions to the community throughout the year as a thank you for making the game better, which is pretty cool if you ask me. Assuming they've continued in that vein, luck and randomness have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Congrats to the recipients, I haven't done a damn thing for the community myself.

yeah congrats to the very few who have been recognized by anet.

and yes we do wonder how they make their selections, I know I would never get one.

So be happy that anet thinks you deserve their recognition!

Where's the personal touch in that?

And if it goes by people who've done good things for the community like last year, I could only assume Rahja would get one for the events he's hosted as well as the guys who devised the Rawr cup.

So what, your name didn't get picked out of a hat (that has probably a good million or so names in it) or you apparently didn't go enough good things for the community. Suck it up and move on.

Congrats to those who got the cards

Orrrr, they can send a hand signed one to every single player!

Hope they have their pens ready... >.>

Oh, forgot to say. Congrats to all who got one. It blows my mind that people can even find negative in this, as well. "Waaaah he got one and I didn't! I want one too! /tantrum"

That makes a whole lot of cards to sign. Is it ACTUALLY signed?
