I don't complain enough, so I am relatively unnoticed around here.

So no, I got nothing.

Heh yeah, Christmas 07/08 is about right, it still has pride of place on my shelf tho ;p along with my signed copies of the game, a lil message from Gaile she left in the delivery box and a bunch of those skill badges all unopened in their original packaging. A nice lil present for my 3.5 wonderful years of the alpha test before the program closed down.

Jelly of anyone who gets Anet ones, I have never had the pleasure. I guess they haven't sent out this year's yet though?

I did get the GWG one, it was very sweet.

I was pleasantly surprised today to receive a "Happy Holidays" card from ArenaNet today! It even appears to be personally signed (not a photo copy, or re-print) by many of the staff.

I don't know whether it's because I'm a 6+ year veteran of GW, or because I'm a mod/Tech on Guru2, but I must say I thought it was very nice.

So, I'll take this opportunity to wish all the staff at ANet and NCsoft a very Happy Holidays.

P.s - anyone else on here get one?

Just got an ArenaNet card in the mail today! Got one the first year but none since till now. Understandable with the massive number of people that have and do play Guild Wars.

They've been doing that for years now. I got one in 2007, the one with the charr playing with the wool out of an opened present. I'm assuming they pick people at random, because I didn't do anything exceptional to deserve one.

Happy holidays!

Congratulations Quaker! I haven't had one since the year with the Charr wrapping presents on the cover. Any chance you could scan the cover for us, so that we can see what it looks like please?

They did in 2007. Can't say if they still do.

Edit: I just had a look at that card again (still holding on to it ), and was reminded that it was numbered. Mine was 384/1300. If they send 1300 every year, chances of getting one are pretty slim. Still, 1300 is quite a lot of cards to sign!

Todays the day we take down Christmas decorations, and a card from Anet just arrived (in the UK) to mark the end of the holidays.

Thanks, Anet - I shall treasure it always!

WOW and thankyou very much Arenanet what a lovely surprise. Just recieved it today.

All the way from America to the UK, thankyou for all taking the time to sign the card for me really appreciate it.

Feel like one of the luckiest players at the moment hehe . It sits proudly at the the center of my Guild Wars Shrine . More than made up for my dissapointment of not getting a mini Polar Bear lol.

How does one get such a card(s)?
Is there a pre-requisite?

I'd wager a guess that it's related to how many hours you've accumulated on your account.

Lots of factors have been suggested, including how many bots you have reported, acts of kindness or assistance to new players in-game, contributions to the wikis and forums, etc......nothing has been confirmed by ANet other than that there is more than one factor taken into consideration.

Sadly, it seems like most people on GWG won't get their cards from me . I did the GWG cards and GW2G cards in 2 separate batches and the woman at the post office issued the wrong kind of postage for many of the GWG (and some of the GW2G) cards.

Next year, I'll make sure I do all the postage for the cards >_<.

P.S. I hand wrote on every single card, and each one had their own unique greeting D:. And 100+ of them will never be received QQ.

Nope - I was sending them worldwide . When I was making the cards, there was a notice up on the forums providing all the details. I'll be doing it again next year, though .
