This seems like an easy one. On your character selection screen it shows your toon, the level, the location.. why the heck not also put the age? I don't check my storage mules much but I'd like to know when they're up for a present. It's stored anyway, why not just show it?

it would be even nicer if they put the creation date instead....so no more 11 months for 5 weeks of checking.....

Yes it is definitely a great idea I would like to see it happen.

/signed - Very good idea. I'm tired of trying to figure out my characters age even thought it takes about 2 minutes.

Wow! An actually decent idea! (And I'm not using sarcasm!)

I totally agree with this suggestion. Put the "date of birth" on the character select screen. And, while we're at it, why not have a way to order the characters by "date of birth". (Again, not using sarcasm.)

That's a pretty cool idea!

so /age is now too difficult to do?

take a piece of paper and a pencil, write all the b-days down and pin it up on your comp stand if its that big of an issue

honestly a-net has much better things to do than waste thier time with trivial things like this

i think this has been suggested before, but my idea is to make it so you can sort it from oldest to youngest.

It'd be a nice little addition. Not a big deal if it's never implemented, tho.

This makes a lot of sense, it gets so annoying when I have a character at 11 months, check every day and still nothing, until probably the end of the month. I don't think this would be hard to add, as was mentioned you can already see its level and where it currently is. Why not how old it is?

Of course I just write down when I check the character and when they get a present, but this would be a useful feature. /signed

Hmm if you ask me this is just a way to reduce your embarresment because you have to look at your thousands of hours you played before you can look at the date of the char ..

Great idea. I would also like to be able to sort my characters in the selection screen by age.

One of the most useless suggestions yet. Log in, Click Character, /age, Log out. I think it's easy enough. Adding this won't get you your mini any faster, and its only going to be a disappointment anyway so who cares... You don't need to check daily to see if your mini fungal wallow has come yet.

Hm. One thing wrong about that... It takes (me) forever to initially load (which, I'm blaming on my wireless; I'm a little too far from my router), so a quick check of age would be ideal (which it can be done from the character select screen if this were implemented). It's true that it won't get a mini any faster, but it's still nice to know. Heck, I can't remember when I created my characters, and I don't like to write things down (my papers get so cluttered), especially on the count that I've got a god-awful amount of passwords to try to remember, it's kind of difficult to maintain what's what these days. A little convenience is all that's being asked, really.

Got 16 Chars myself i keep eye on all the time since they are spread out from when i made them. Yeah i have wrote down when the B-Days come up. But only got about 1/2 of them on there.

But as it's stated they got lvl, where it is, it's not that much to just add it's creation date, or even just say how many months old it is fine with me. Because be a quick roam over the char in selection.

Also only play couple chars all the time. rest are mules. So if you know one is about due just easier to roam by it on the screen instead of logging into it when your wanting or needing to meet someone with another char.
