Bit of an intriguing one this since the sweet treats weekend falls on and in about the same time as the last 2 years of the anniversary event started and finished on the 29th of April.
Im curious to see if the anniversary event will be given more of a priority. Or would the sweet treats weekend (golden eggs, chocolate bunnie drops) will be done this weekend? For all we know they might drop both of these events in at the same time/weekend (Easter weekend).
Still I wonder if anyone knows anything about this, in terms of when it starts etc.

One hopes we will get a clue today. ANet used to be pretty regular about getting the weekend event notices up on Tuesdays. Sadly, this seems to have slipped in recent months to the point we are lucky if we even have an announcement before the event begins.
This doesn't matter too much when we can look up the past pattern of weekends and be fairly confident we know what the event will be anyway, but there is no confidence in this case. A pre-announcement will certainly help those of us who like to plan our weekend play time.

my take...the easter stuff will be the weekend before ending on monday 25th, and anniversary stuff to begin on either tuesday or wednesday (26 or 27--though 26 would be more appropriate since peeps will get early bday gifts)...this is just MY thoughts---which sound logical, but-----------
(and yeah pol...I gave the link and didnt close this one since that talk went in a totally different direction--but it was a fyi).

I'm curious when the idiots spamming "WTB 6th year mini" start going at it 3 days early like they do every year.
Does anyone know if a present will show up in inventory if you are online or if you have to log off and on again?
As usual, it's my annual "Bitch-and-moan-that-I-once-had-a-full-account-of-beta-characters-and-deleted-them-all-but-three" session...

This weekend is apparently Codex Arena Bonus, so it looks like sweet treats will be on easter weekend as usual.
And as Cosyfiep said, most likely the birthday will began that tuesday or wednesday after

Sorry for your loss. My brother in law did something similar (not beta, but he bought the game when it came out, then deleted everything before they hit one year to start over again when I started playing.)

How come Guild Wars Wiki states that e.g. the 3rd edition of the minipets got available on April 25 2008... As far as I can recall, I started playing on April 28th 2005, which was the very day the game was released. So how can there be 3-year-old characters on April 25 2008 or 4-year-old characters on April 26 2009 already? Probably my math or the release date is wrong or something like this... Haven't played in 3 years, so I'm sorry if this question has been asked 10383945 times, I just couldn't find a proper answer...

Players who played in the beta will have characters who have that birthday.

When guild wars was first released if you bought A PRE-ORDER KIT you were also able to log in day(s) early. I cannot remember the exact time. After all, it was six years ago.
For those that are curious I picked the ithas bow....

I'll never forget how nice it was of ArenaNet to release GW during finals week...
LordDragon
I, unfortunately, deleted my pre-order 2-day early monk to make her again and help a friend who had just started Pre-Searing. My main character was started on the actual release date so I get to wait two days for my 6th birthday present.
Sharp Blade
Do you think the 6th-year birthday presents, especially when you offer them right on April 28 or so, will sell for a high price, even the white? I took a 4 year break from GW and now came back right in time to pick up my 6th minipet probably on April 27 if my math is right. Will people be buying them right away for high prices or rather wait till May/June, when 6th year minipets will be more common? Since the last anniversary I witnessed as an active player was the 2nd one, I don't really know whether the new pets will be as coveted as they were back in 2006 and 2007, especially with the introduction of that HoM thing that should actually make them more popular and increase the demand, if I understand it correctly...

5th year white minis were going for around 100K in the first few weeks of trading last year and maintained prices of up to 50K for most of the year. This could mean that there will be fairly high prices for the 6th year minis still. There are still collectors out there that want them all. I think that there are less of them around so it is going to take a bit longer to sell. Prices will probably fall faster than in previous years also.
Verene
An unded Kuunavang was not worth 60e+ before the HoM. Back before the UW updates drove up the price of ecto it was worth around that, but it was the huge change in ecto prices that changed the price of Kuunavang, not HoM. It's actually worth more now because ecto are twice as much as they were then.
And since there are people looking for 50/50 in their HoM, plus people who just plain collect stuff like minis, yes, there will be a market for the new ones soon as they release.

The prices of Ecto and shards have always been about the prices they are now. Ecto's 7-9k Shards 2-4k

Yes they have. There might be times where they have fluctuated to extremes for a short amount of time but that has always been the prices they've been at. When I got FoW in 06 I bought most of my ectos at 7k and shards at 2.3, which was the going rate at that time. Not much has changed.
Tyrole
I'm pretty sure ectos were in the 10-12 range for quite awhile when retail opened up.

ament, you might want to relent on this. Ecto/shard prices have always fluctuated. True they seem to settle at 7-8k usually but I've seen them 4-5k when sc teams were in full farm mode, to 10-12k.
Crom The Pale
Ecto were most certainly at the 10K to 14K range at one time. I bought most all of mine for my FOW armor while they were at that price. They dropped swiftly when the 55hp monk farm of UW was made public knowledge and before they changed the protection bond skill.
Since late 2007 till now they have bounced from 5K to 9K as each new farming build is discovered and then nerfed.

That was 2006.
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/o...price+increase
Theres 2005(Anet messed up and ecto was like 300g at traders)
Want me to Continue?
Ascended Furling
i remember that i was buying my obsi armor and bought ecto for 3,5k at the trader. but these times are gone.
obastable
When I bought my first FoW set for my Warrior ecto was 15k a pop. I recall quite clearly because when I realized I only needed 9 more I said, "Screw this s**t!", zoned out of UW, and went and bought them.
garethporlest18
Ecto in 2005 was up to 15k at one point, it even jumped to 18k here in America. Black Dye was up to 36k that day. Ah the good ol days. Monk runes being 20-70k. Sup Vigor and Abs being 100k.
Metatail
You guys! Back to Traders' Outpost. Guess the event goes on this weekend? And there will be something more to usual drops/activities?

Around factions time before shadow form they were around 13k with a slow decline...
Time passed they hired a 5 year old as the new skill balance guy that made shadow form the most abused skill ever.... dropped ecto to about 3k
Year or so passed....
1st shadow form nurf attempt... 3.5k
2nd shadow form nurf attempt...4.5k
Dhumm Nurf on Solo UW Farming/Speed Clearing and anticipation of SF nurf raised demand... 5.5k
Most recent shadow form buff/nurf...7-8k
