Couldn't you just move this? I'm interested in this too.

Just post existing ones here, not suggestions. Thanks.

$10 says that the first few people to post a mini are lying to confuse people.

Simple, picture or it didn't happened. (of mini in inventory AND near your character, at least to make shoops harder to do, but i don't think anyone would bother)

Thanks, I was going to repeat this here!

Also to repeat from other thread pets are available today for developers and midnight tonight to people that had 24 hour early access according to Regina.

My gift is late, so I wouldn't expect anybody else has gotten theirs yet either.

My 1st char reached 72 months earlier today, still no present yet even after logging in on several different occasions.

They are not in the game yet or they would have been already leaked from the .dat file. Its also possible no mini this year but instead something else.

The leap year bug might have been fixed from 365 days to a date match.

Developers could have characters created on the 26th and players with early access the 27th. In past birthday gifts were calculated on 365 days so leap year pushed birthdays too early. Your character might say 72 months but it was not created 72 months ago because a year is 365.25 days. If that was fixed to a date match than tonight at midnight would be first for players. However, developers characters should be out now so be on the look out.

Not offical till its on the website because anyone can can edit wiki. But my biggest question is why is the 6th starting so late this year, when in the past years it has started before the 28th, yet this year it starting on the 28th? The only reason i could think is that Anet has maybe something a little extra special this year or they have gotten lazier.

In my opinion to buffer Easter from the Birthday and a small possibility to provide extra time to finish new content for the bithday event.

buffer easter, maybe but i'm not sure.

As for finish new content, i believe it was already said that WOH will come after 6th year, so at this point i'm not sure what to expect from Anet.

well John gave the following hint also he indirectly seems to confirm minipets by stating more than just that after someone said minipets...

Hilarious how people are making so many assumptions. Wait for the annoucement. For all we know they have something else in mind.

True but the big question is, what? I really also expect mini pets. But thats good to know that they are going to add a little more. But ya that basically a confirming it.

Well after contacting some people and searching Kamadan it appears that early-access to minipets will not happen or will be delayed, now 3 likely probabilities of arrival times for the minipets....

a. sometime during the working hours of anet on the 27th
b. at the end of the 27th at midnight
c. with some update on the 28th during anet working hours

I'd like to see them do something to make Mini's useful. Maybe each mini casts it's own low powered spell, or gives you some bonuses to your abilities. PvE skills/consets etc have already made the game unbalanced so why not just add a few more things.

I'm sure there will be a new round of pets. But Stumme hasn't disappointed yet, so I'm excited to see what else we get.

Fret not! 6th year characters will be getting new birthday presents, but not until the anniversary build goes out on the 28th. We have a couple of other surprises coming as well.

Holy cats, it's John Stumme!

Hi John! Tell everyone up at the office that I said "Happy Birthday Guild Wars!" please!

Also, if I were to swing by Bellevue one day, could I get a tour?
