Wintersday Card 2010
Yol
With the Wintersday Festival rapidly approaching, I'm surprised that I haven't heard anything about players receiving cards from the ANet team. Anyone know if they are being sent out this year?

mEH, save money and spend it on developing the game (gw or gw2)!!

They send them out via the online store this year for £7.99 or $9.99.

Usually they come just before christmas eve, or even a little time afterwards depending on where you live and postal systems
The ones I've had, 1 came on the 23rd Dec, the other on the 30th.
It does'nt cost that much to do and is a real treat for the fans and those who get them(esp as the majority of them are random).

I;m assuming you have to have a Master Account to get a card? B/c that would put a smile on my face to get a card from Anet... lol

I never heard about this before! Sure would be a fun thing to get in the mail.

This is when Regina reads the thread and goes "aww crap, i knew i was supposed to post them"
in all fairness Do NOT expect one, if you get one it doesnt mean your favored more and it doesnt mean they dont like you if you dont get one either for that matter. To my knowledge those who have got them in the past usually were competition winners etc where they already had your address, but correct me if im wrong. Its only not just those with a master account and address set up.

Wait...I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about that was i?
But yeah basically they have to know your address via the master account I think it's also only us and canada residents however I could be wrong about this. And beyond a few select people it's jsut random.

Everyone in my household who plays (4 accounts) got one a few years back, but we haven't got once since.

.Also, I've seen some mentions that some people have already got it, so they've been send as well

Haven't got one before, but I enjoy seeing pics that people post. Always a lovely card.

a few years ago (before I got italics) I got one--and my hubby did not.....so I have no idea what strategy they use to pick when sending them....../roll?
BenjZee
I hope this random strategy does somehow include me for some odd reason 
I wont be dissapointed if i dont as im not like that but if i did i would frame it

I've never gotten a card. Been playing since the first ever Wintersday too.
awry
I bet they keep a tally on who writes negative things and who doesn't and then crosses out ppl who criticize with a somewhat gleeful bwahhaha.

Their game was decent but their recent attention to it. Overly buggy updates (anyone remmeber how much of a bitch talmark was having something broken with it like every wik update?) Fairly sparse skill updates that actually adress whats going on.
Ncsoft their publisher/parent company? also sucks in terms of their support and total disregard to account security.
I think that rules me out for the next few years.

I'd probably enjoy getting one of these more than I enjoyed getting my gaming headset they sent me. Here's hoping!

IF mine gets here, it will be either monday or tuesday since that seems to be the only day our post office even gets mail to deliver otherwise geiko really wants me to change over and chase wants me to get a visa card (yeah right)......anyone for pizza?
so I have gotten used to only getting important stuff on the first day or so of the week---with a bone or two tossed in on friday or saturday (got my bank statement today)......
/waits with neo

I got mine yesterday or perhaps the day before as I don't pick up my mail everyday from the end of the driveway. Very nice card this year. I wonder if someone actually made those stockings in real life.
And to answer that question, I should have followed the link provided by 993401
which led to the blog explaining that they were hand made stockings.

I have played this game almost 5 years(bought everything Anet sells and more), I have never seen a holiday card. Like the mini polar bear, I'm not even sure it exists.

First time receiving a card (and quite early considering I live in Aus!) so I must be one of the lucky randoms. (That and I did spend some money in the online store this year :P)
Still super stoked about it. I grin every time I see it! I've never seen one before so I couldn't get over the fact there were personal signatures inside. (I wonder how many have adapted their signature to survive the sheer number of cards to sign too..)
Thanks Anet and Happy Holidays to you to!
