The card insert is more like a 6x4, not 6x9.

It is nice that all the people individually sign the card and it's not just a copy.

Here is the one I got:



"Logan" - Kekai Kotaki

Congrats to the card receivers. I've been playing for 3+ years and have never received a card. However, I can't recall ever giving my home address out to A-net either? Those of you that received cards, when did A-net get your address?

Got mine before I began buying things in the store and the campaigns I bought previously were pre-orders most likely from Amazon. I could be wrong but was pretty surprised they had it at the time considering I had never directly done business with them. There was a post somewhere joking around about how they got them...wiki maybe.

Yeah, I just got mine today

There's more signatures on this one (27ish) than the one I got last year. One signature is a little smudged though, but at least it didn't mark up the entire card. I also got the Order of Whispers armor print, which was a nice surprise.

Thanks for the card Anet

I thought I wrote in my addy somewhere in 'options' when I first created my account... plus Anet got it several times through contests and such...

I'll look for it in the mail tomorrow too, after that it's probably pointless to do so.

Depends on where you live really. I remember it taking quite a while for people to get their cards other years.

It'd be really neat to get one after wanting one for forever now


The Whispers one looks SO cool!

I guess I'm not helpful enough to get a card. You'd think after paying for entire groups on runs, helping random people complete dungeons and offering free gold for those who need a bit to get armor or something I'd get something, but oh well.

To those who got, congrats.

I'll wager Australians get no love either.. Even when they give away free stacks of booze.. rofl. I love that Yakkington card, got the whole "benefactor looking out for a mentally challenged-type" thing going on.

Merry Xmas everyone. And stay safe!

I got one a few years ago, and I live in the UK. So it's entirely possible for people from other countries to get one.

IIRC if you are a bigshot on a fansite all you need is a pulse. Otherwise they have some system they never disclosed for the random ones.

Yeah, I compared pictures of last years card and the amount of signatures varied. They probably randomly pass cards around the office for people to sign.

I also thought the prints we got were the ones they were giving away with the purchase of the GW2 art book for a limited time. They don't seem to have the pictures up on the penny arcade store anymore though, so I can't be sure.
