I had 3 Prince Ruriks, 4 Shuros and a bunch of other pets and Anet deleted them all with an update!!!

My cool minature pet collection

They better reinstate them. I don't know what I'll do without little Rurik.

You never saw them? If you made a Pre-searing character about 3 hours ago you got a little box in your inventory called "Birthday present". Clicking this opens the package, giving you a random, unbound pet that follows you around.

You could get Prince Rurik, Shiro, Hydra, Fungle Wallows, and many others.

Woah. Never saw Bonedragons. They must have been gold? Or is it something else? Prince Rurik and Shiro were both gold, but I managed to get 4 Shiros and 3 Ruriks.

No, its not "BS". I didn't take a screenshot, but 100% its true. Just ask anyone that rolled a Pre-searing character within that time. Then again, I never saw anyone else, even those playing at the time, talking about them. I did, however, trade several for extra belt pouches for my friends and I.

I did hear of one guy selling Rurik in Asacalon AD1.

Lol, I was doing the quest to get out of Pre-searing with Mini-Rurik following me, and the people in the mission with me didn't care at all. None of them responded or said anything at all.

After shouting "LOOK! MINI PRINCE RURIK IS CHASING ME!" several times, no responses at all. I stuffed 7 of them into someone's inventory and they didn't even do anything. Are people that oblivious?

So they these don't exist anymore then? Was there a mini-patch that removed them? How did you get them? What do they do?

They just followed you around, they're removed, we got them from creating a new pre-searing char.

Theory: The "present" was called "Birthday Present," IE, Guild Wars Aniversary present. Guild Wars came out the 28th of April 2005. They launched the pets on the 27th.

I think they launched the pets too early and decided, since hardly anyone had seen them, that they would just remove them.

I at least hope they make them a rare drop, even if they cost 500k each!

There are different variations of them, and they are all marked in either Gold, Purple, or White. Shiro and Prince Rurik are the only gold ones that I saw, so I don't think there's much need to make them a "rare" drop if they'll only be around for 1 day.

I certainly hope they don't cost 500k! Then only wammo's and 55 monks could buy them.
