I don't think we can start complaining yet, although it looks like we are defiantly getting minis for our 3rd year birthday no one knows if that is all we will be getting. Hoping they will introduce something like more storage for mini or for armor or just another storage slot or a trade system that no longer has a limit of 100k.

I like minis but I have so many now that I never can decide which one I will let come out to play. Ususally its my black moa or windrider. If I am in a dark place its my Celestial rat or pig. So many of them never see the light of day. Thats why I am kinda "meh" on getting more minis and would like to see something different. Preferably something that is non-tradable...Like the ability to show weapons in towns.

I've wanted a Rabbit ever since the random one out in pre-searing. I wonder if there is a chance of actually getting one as a special pet.

....maybe one day my dreams will come true.

Until then, I'll hope for the mini-pet.

Dooods...... IF the mini Mad King Thorn could tell jokes while fighting..... (wtb mkh for 100k+500e) depends on if i get it er not.......

Wud want a mini mursaat ( white mantles can kiss their puny godz xD) or the reskinned abyssal...... i mean i like the abyssal wayy better than the troll
Remove crappy skins instead of re-skins.....

I personally think minis is a gud present....... the people who think their a waste shud look abt selling them if u really hate them........

Totally offtopic, but saw this flying by.

Remember before Miniatures in outposts were limited to 20? Remember the lag?

That is wrong, it never happened.

There was no minis in towns, and then there was a change that let minis in towns with a 20 mini limit. Never was any more than 20.

OT: Mad King Thorn and Mursaat mini sound good, the rest don't. But all minis aren't much good anyhow because no one knows who owns them since they never stay near the owner and can't be named. Better present instead of new minis would have been a flag for existing minis, and the ability to name existing minis so everyone knows who owns it.

Sorry, you're right. Coulda sworn I read something on the discussion pages of Anet staff on the GWW that said it would give too much loading times tho. Anyways, this thread reflects solid and many reasons to not do it:

I really really hope the white rabbit is ACTUALLY a white pet, as in soon to be common, though ive a niggling feeling its going to be the big green one. I dont care about how rare it is, I just want it cos itll be cute, like the piggeh! beats a fugly mini koss anyway -_-

Actually they are... who knows maybe it is because they are hard at work with GW2. One thing is for sure, I never thought it would get to this point, but guild wars has gotten boring . Same events same shows same old same old.

^^^all my opinion of course^^^ flame away . Hope my 3rd year mini saves the day for me. Doubt it

You seriously have no clue. It takes no more or no less effort in making one mini or another. A mini polar bear takes as much effort to make as a mini turtle.

This has NOTHING to do with laziness. You might argue that the choices selected for the minipets were poor but you can't possibly argue that it was laziness simply because they selected something that you deem was a "reskin" since they ALL take the same effort simply by taking existing models and shrinking them.

Just got mine too. Looks like Anet forgot to add the additional day from the leap year in their birthday calculations......

I don't dare to open it... I know I will get punished with an Irukanji....




EDIT: It turned out to be a Forest Minotaur.......
Here some screens.... not really impressive, but I won't sell it anyways...

Cool, that list was real then. Hopefully i'll get a cave spider as they are aweso. A mursaat wouldn't go amiss either. Too bad I have to wait till August again. Why O why didn't I follow my friends advice and buy GW sooner?!

My first char's birthday would be at the beginning of may... not really looking forward to it, because most of the minis suck. The only one I'd like to keep is the mursaat, but it would probably be ridiculously expensive. So if I got one, i'd sell it...

mursaat is 100k +5e atm in kamadan. Most of the white minis are already under 100k. Mad King is 200e and a guildie sold his rabbit for 100k +80e. Still havent seen the black beast but i'm sure that will be in the 300e range.
