As the title states. It would be nice to have a statement of "This character was born/created on May 1st, 2005 (or whatever date)" included in the text that appears when you type /age

It would only take an extra line of code for Anet to put this in, I don't understand why this wasn't in 2 years ago. There have been at least 2 other threads (to my recollection) to suggest this, it's gotten a lot of signatures, but been widely ignored.

/sign... again

I already manually guesstimated my char's ages based on when they got their presents but...

I like to celebrate my character's birthdays as well as my own. I hate doing /age to see my character at 23 months, and having to log in day after day to see when I get a gift to know when it is that they were made.

I don't see how this would be hard to add in. When Tender had her first birthday, the present came like 3 days after I thought it would. It would be nice to know the exact date so people don't think they were forgotten.

It's been brought up before but since they obviously keep track of it, why can't they just reveal it to us. I don't remember when I created anything.

I would dislike seeing that when I use the /age command and I hope ArenaNet never implements it.

You would dislike seeing their age when you use the /age command?

Don't get me wrong, /signed or /notsigned, either or, I just don't understand your reason.

Not bothered so much that it's "oooh when will my mini show up", I'd just like to know when I created them. My ele will be hitting two years soon and I have no idea what actual date I created her, it'd be nice to know.

The way the system is set up, though, when your "Month Counter" hits 12, it usually isn't at the required "year" mark yet. I've had about 6 birthdays on different characters, and they both got their present about 2 or 3 days to a week after reaching so the /age said "12 months"

Unless you count my Ranger, who hit 24 months, never got a present, and is currently on 27 months, still never getting a present. I got ripped off, and there's really nothing I can do about it. I can't e-mail Anet on it, because they would write it off as an obvious lie and me trying to scam to get an extra minipet. I made sure I had plenty of inventory space on the char. It just irks me... forever.

Thats odd

All 8 of my characters all got there presents exactly when they hit 12 month and so far the ones ready for 24 months have gotten them right when it switched to 24 months
