I got one on my main character, but not on any others.

I didn't have to do anything to get it.

Does it have to be your first created character? If so i got screwd too cause i updated after finishing a mission and my inventory was full so no pet, yet my other chars who had room also did not get one.

Can we get someone from anet to actually say something about these?

My Necro is in Cantha, and my Warrior (mule) is in Lion's Arch. I didn't get one on my Mesmer or my newly-created Monk. The two that did probably have the most XP among my characters, if that makes a difference (1.2 mil XP on my necro, at 373h54m of 890h14m -- woo hoo!)

My question is: the description says "double-click to take out or put away." Are they one-time use or with a limited number of days we can use them? I'm scared to try them, and scared not to at the same time.

(Got a mini Hydra and a mini Jungle Troll)

I think its when your char is 12 months old, that or they just give it based on account age and give it to your first char made.

I think the account age is dependent on your characters. For example, I deleted my original character, who was created upon the release of Guild Wars last year (April 28). I didn't create my second character until a few weeks after. No presents anywhere.

The thing is, /age says I've only been playing for 11 months, so I think it may deduct time overall if you delete a character that was created before all others.

That or I have a few more hours left until it updates to 12 months

i dont think account age subtracts time because im 300 hours short when i added up all my current characters of my overall time.

Need more info!

The guys who got the miniatures:

Did you finish the game? I mean all titan quests.
Do you have any special titels. Did you kneel before glint or whoever lately?

This could be it. Both characters to receive the presents were created on Day 1 after GW went live (I recently deleted the Ele that was also created at that time

).

Just to answer a couple of questions about my character that I saw come up..

I made mine the day of the head start for Chapter 1, I didn't delete or anything, and I haven't gotten that far in the game, took a few months off from playing even.

I am just starting to do the quests that lead upto acension(or I was told those were the quests).

I hope everyone gets one when they hit 1 year and not just for the people that turned 1 year today/yesterday.

I wanted to take the opportunity and post the most relevant of my screenshots here due to the link from GuildWiki. It shows all mini pets in one screenshot and gives you a pretty decent idea on their individual sizes.

Please note: Only one mini pet can be out at any time. This image was created by merging the screenshots of the active individual mini pets into one picture.
