Has anyone had a birthday present show up early? I have not followed my birthdates very closely except the oldest, so I know exactly when it is. What's weird is that it showed up 3 weeks early last year.

Has anyone paid close enough attention to notice this happen?

btw, it was Christmas time. not implying I got it before they released.

I would not have posted this unless I was absolutely sure of what happened. The only thing I can think of is that another account that's linked to this one had a birthday on Christmas. But they got their gift the same day I did. Even though I know I didn't make the char until 3 weeks later. I know this because my hubby harassed me for that long until I decided to play.

I noticed something like this too. My warrior (2nd character i created) got his bday gift 4 days before my ranger (1st char created). I don't know the exact day on which i created the account, but i know for a fact the order of which characters i created. Oddly enough, the warrior got a gold mini, and the ranger got a white one.

I have a theory "probably wrong" that they do them in batches so some will be a little early some late.

I base that on never having had a birthday mini on my actual birthday in fact it usually comes late in the correct month or early the month following.

Note that Guild Wars counts years as being 365 days long. Thus leap years will gradually mess up the count by a few days.

Never seen anything like the OP is claiming though.

I have had several toons on all four accounts get thier presents on different days over the last three years that I have been tracking it. The presents have always been three days of the actual date for those toons that I recorded thier birthdates.

My Monk got one a week (maybe a little more) early. I'm sure of this because I distinctly recall making it on the day NF started.

With the ones that I have paid attention to it has been down to the minute of creation.

ANet is like the crappy dad that still tries a bit so he still forgets your birthday but makes up for it in advance so he can forget it when the day actually comes.
