I won't expect one, considering I live so far away and so remotely. XD
Still, congrats to everyone who did! That's an incredibly nice of Anet.

Some are international, yes. Like I said before, I got one a few years back(which was awesome btw). Not had any since then though.

I didn't get one this year, last year, or the year before that. ANET hates me.

If players send a card to us (and several people have), our staff would be absolutely thrilled. Our staff would probably just as happy as players feel when they get a card from us. =)

I received 2 cards this year :D

1 because I'm a mod on presearing.com and the 2nd must have been for whatever damn reason they went with.

Sooo... double thanks? :o

I got one today, Nicholas the Traveler on the front cover of the christmas card with signatures inside, with "Norn Architecture" - Daniel Dociu on a postcard.

I feel so special, guess I got it because I buy many things from the ingame store

(I live in United Kingdom)
I'll add a picture soon if I find a camera.

Part of me hopes I'll get one in the mail later today. It's my birthday (not like that makes a difference, lol) and it would be awesome to get my hands on one. I've been playing for years and haven't received any yet, but I can hope! Congrats to everyone who's gotten one! ^_^

Congrats to everyone who got one! It is a really nice gesture from ArenaNet and I'd be really happy to get one, though I doubt it.

Could you show me the Order of Whispers card? I'm thinking of a concept art that I haven't seen before so I don't want to miss the chance...

Merry Christmas to all!

In the past when I've gotten them, it's because I like to occasionally send ANet a present (which I did expecting absolutely zero in return, it was more of a thank you for how lousy my year probably would have been with my job sucking if not for happy GW distraction at the time). I was also a winner and attendee for the Nightfall release party.

It has nothing to do with what you buy in the store or how much you play (or what you do when you play). It's more likely you did some good work for a contest, are active on a site, or something that's a bit easier to track than in game activities. It's also likely that some Test Krewe peeps got them as well for their hard work on that. Some could just be random, too.

They're a neat thing to get in the mail.

Congrats to those who got them!

(me, I don't expect one this year, but I'm not concerned because I'm happy to see others getting them, and NCSoft already sent me a pile of stuff earlier this year because of my ridiculous Tabula Rasa involvements, heh).

I received my first Arena Net card last week and it still makes me smile when I look at it. I thanked Arena Net already on Twitter, but I'm thanking them here too, since it's still making me smile. ^_^

This is the card I got with the Order of Whispers Armour for GW2.

Havn't seen this armour before so thought I should share.
