Simple question,

Do they start on Thursday the 23rd, or Friday the 24th?

Login annoucement says Thursday the 24th (sic).

This is off the official website:

Birthday Celebration Event Calendar



Thursday, April 23


Indulge your Sweet Tooth when Birthday Cupcakes start dropping from creatures across Tyria, Cantha, and Elona.

See awesome hourly fireworks displays over Lion's Arch, Shing Jea Monastery, Kamadan, and the Great Temple of Balthazar.


Friday, April 24


Test your luck and skill at the Shing Jea Boardwalk! Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT), this popular venue will once again open to the public in the Shing Jea Monastery.

Challenge yourself and others in Rollerbeetle Races and the Dragon Arena. Starting at Noon, these mini-games will be accessible from Lion's Arch, Shing Jea Monastery, Kamadan, and the Great Temple of Balthazar.


Tuesday, April 28


Starting at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, April 28, characters turning four will find a gift in their inventories that has a new miniature from this year's birthday series. Characters turning one, two, or three will receive a wrapped miniature from that corresponding set of past Guild Wars birthday presents. We give birthday presents year round, so each of your characters will receive gifts on their personal birthdays (creation dates)

BTW search is there for a reason ,

To me it just looks like the poor person at Anet didn't look at his/her calender before typing in the text.
LOL

How do I get web sight? Is that an upgrade to my glasses?

The deal is "sometime" today (Thursday) they are going to release the upgrades/update and start dropping cupcakes. Friday at Noon PST (GMT-8) they are opening the boardwalk games and celebration stuff.

If you have ever waited for an update from Anet, you know that it could be anytime between now and sometime Friday before it hits. But here's to hoping it is sometime around Noon PST.

The Wiki's been pretty vague about this - suggesting that the update will be later on today. However, the in-game login announcement suggests that the event will start on the 24th, with no clarification as to whether the update will come with it.

"The Update" the OP refers to could mean the new content not when cupcakes start to drop.

The answer to that is nobody knows as its not stated anywhere, hopefully today though.

In Lindsey's latest talkback on the official wiki, she states that there will be an update for the festival changes in the towns today, but she was vague on whether it would include the much-hyped content update.

Here is the link:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User_talk:Linsey_Murdock

Go to the very bottom and look for her reply to the question "about what time is the update"...

It's understandable that the OP is confused.

Yep its a little confusing with there website saying one thing and the log in screen saying another.

However most people are curious whether the live update that will happen this evening/afternoon will include the new content ie; the little pet zoo and zaishen etc, or will they update the new content gradually over the next few days. Besides they never say when the live update will happen in the log in screen.

The time when the event starts is pretty clear cut though.

If the update isn't live in 24 hours, it won't be released on the 23th.

Infallible logic here.

LOL, good luck with that.

It may be 1 more hour until cupcakes start dropping, but that is likely delayed until after the update as well. Updates usually happen around 4pm pst, or 5 hours from now.

How friggin hard would it be for the CR manager to come on here and straighten everything out?

Pretty sure they have more important things to do than feed peoples impatience. The update will come when the update is ready.
