Happy Holidays from Anet

i would have got mine today 1301/1300 but they ran out of ink!
perfect
Thank you Anet, I received mine yesterday. 574/1300

Thank you, Anet! I received 422/1300 yesterday. What an awesome surprise. I hurried to scan it and share it with my guildies on our forums/site. The selection process has me perplexed and most curious to know what the 1,300 all have in common. I can assure it cant be anything PvP related since I never partake in that.

I received my card yesterday. Glad to see the card I received wasn't mistakingly sent to me when it was suppose to be for the CEO or something lol. 286/1300 here. Thanks ArenaNet!
For those people who are investigating on what the rubric is for the selection, I have r5 koabd, maybe that has soemthing to do with it, maybe not.

I wish I knew who signed it, but I can only make out the signatures of:
Gaile Gray, James Wright, Andrew P, and Adam Roseborough.
Partially, Alex Yo___, Pat W__tt, Cl__de Jackson, and a couple that I can't even guess at.
Oh well, who said signatures are meant to be read anyway.
Merry Christmas Anet.

I received card 586 here.
Thanks, and I wish you and your families a Happy Holiday season.

I recieved one also today 121/1300, thanx for the card Anet. As a side note they must all have writers cramp form signing 1300 of them and the poor buggers who had to put the postage stamps on the envelope (mine did took 3stamps to get it to me) imagine what 1300 would have done for their fingers and maybe tongues.

Your card would have definitely been signed by Mike O'Brien, Pat Wyatt, Jeff Strain and Gaile Gray along with other assorted ArenaNet staff.
'grats to all those who got one.

Wow that is so nice! I can't believe they signed 1300 copies of this? They must be insane... but in a good way lol. The artwork is really nice.

I got one too. I must say I was really suprised and happy, this is an extremly nice thing to do.
Not only they've send it to such remote location as Poland (;p ), also, at first I thought they were printed along with the signs of the staff, (which I wouldn't mind myself, after all there were almost 1.5k of em!), but as I compared mine with the ops, they were all hand-written, no printing!
Anyways, thank you ANet and Best Christmas wishes to you too!
Edit: 923/1300 btw

WANT!
Grats to you though, Id love to get one myself.
I wonder if they can only send them to those who have bought stuff from the online store at one point or the other? Ive bought the Million Player Prophecies pack and a couple of character slots but nothing corporeal (yes, i know, a long word for a Wednesday, Im proud of me too).
Anyway, grats to you again.

Just received mine card [834/1300]
Well, let's say I was quiet amused when I noticed that 'something' has came to me and I was twice amused when I opened the envelope and saw 'kinda-drunk' charr
It's very nice gift which I bet was quiet hard to produce[writing 1,300 signatures - anyone ^^?].
All I can say, is to wish you merry christmas and a happy new year

Thanks very much A-Net, Merry Christmas to you too.
When I got it through the post I was "hmm, thats's interesting" but then I saw it was numbered (mine is 76/1300) and that was neat. Then I looked at the signatures and as the seem to be originals (the only one I could recognise was Gaile's!) I was dead chuffed.
Can't help wondering why I was so blessed though;
It was posted from Brighton and to my CC address (I'm in the UK), and I bought CH2-4 online, so my address came from the online store.
I'm not the most prolific poster, but I usually don't post negative stuff and only flame FreakedOutFish (who doesn't?)
I have 28 maxed.
My SF/necrosis spamming build (using h/hs) isn't unique and other people can probably do it better.
I've only really helped newbies by pming them to advise why they are wasting their time trying to sell that +27hp mod for hammer for 20k.
My armour is rubbish.
So, I'm kinda wondering, why?
But regardless, thanks Anet, it was a really nice gesture and happy holidays to you too.

Thank you A net it was a very nice surprise, #403/1300. Happy Holidays everyone!!!
VitisVinifera
I'm #613. I would imagine its from participating every day in the hero battle beta testing (which I've never stepped foot in since).
However, I find much amusement in this as I've been temp banned several times this year here for being rather critical of Anet.
Anyways, it's all even now! I'll stash this away with all my GW gear I've accumulated.

I think it's probably for a bunch of different things, and these might vary in different territories. Or maybe completely random?

Received 221/1300 today, thanks ArenaNet!

Just got my card o_O 130/1300 This was quite a suprise, really.
Thank you Arenanet and nice stamps too
Thank you Arenanet
IlikeGW
you know they make mmo's when the holiday cards are a rare drop
Danax
Lol at above poster.
I'm just really grateful to Arenanet. This wasn't even requested, yet they spent their own time and money (mailing these cards around the world is not cheap) for atleast some of us.
No, i'm not an Arenanet fanboy, but it gives me a bit of a chill to know if they were hand signed, that Gaile/Patrick and everyone else actually held MY card o-O. THanks Arenanet, and have a good Wintersday!
Just 1 leaving question, if the cards were actually handsigned, how come I cant get the ink off?

Spirit of Wintersday. Spell.
30e, 300s, 31536000s.
You create 1000..1500 postcards signed by Anet members, and they are sent to randomly selected GW players.
