Dear All,

I dont know about you, but its great the /age tells you how old your char actually is, but I would love to see a minor modification to let me know how many days I can wait before I can expect my chars birthday.

So instead of getting: Your have played this char for X hours over the past 11 Months.

We get something like: You have played this char for X hours over the past 11 Months. Next birthday in 3 days.

Prehaps I'm just impatient, and like in real life, tend to count down my birthdays/christmas etc (Knowing its within a month is just frustrating).

Its only an idea, shouldnt be too hard to do, as the B'day is fixed already. [So no flaming please].

Thanks for reading.

Regards,

Aurora

At least the date of creation could show up.
I don't remember the exact day I created my main character.

If you always get your birthday present on your Birthday then yes otherwise definitely no.

Imagine all the letters from players complaining that they didn't get the present till x days later or how they got it early etc

I agree...
Reason I agree is this:
Whenever I made a new character, I have always wrote down the name and date created of said character.
Well... on April 9 my ritualist should have turned 2 years old. But here it is April 26, and still at 23 months. I know this date to be correct because I always check my characters on their birthday, and so far none have been wrong. And that includes the 1st birthday on my rit. 4/9/o8 she received her first gift, Hydra. (yea, im a note keeper. Have a special notebook just for GW stuff). So I do agree it should say how many days till next birthday, so that if something like this happens and we notice the days may not be lowering, we can contact the proper people and maybe get it resolved. I know its a minor issue, but I am always excited to see what it turns out to be. The anticipation of sitting here, seeing the little blue box in inventory and wondering what it will turn out to be, I never open right away, i sit and look at it for a few first. Stupid i know, but what can I say.....
on a side note, may not be a good idea for support reasons. lol
Either way
