Check wiki for previous start dates.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Special_event

so it will start on the 10th of April this year (and most likely next year...and possibly the year after....)

Anyone knows why there are birthday cupcakes, honeycombs, hard apple ciders etc. dropped all over the place? Shouldn't Anniversary Celebration start on 22 April?

**cosyfiep** · Apr 03, 2014, 11:32 AM // 11:32

havent logged in yet, but if you are right then "OOOOOOPS" is what anet should be saying or as we say it /facepalm (so much for the 'automation')

Glad to see that others are seeing this already too. Looks like Birthday celebration is waaaay early. Won't hear any complaints from me!

yeah I was getting bottle rockets, sugary blue drinks, tokens, honeycombs, ales, all kinds of stuff last night.

Markaedw · Apr 04, 2014, 04:09 AM // 04:09

I'm almost thinking that it will be a month long thing and it was done on purpose, since I started noticing it at the beginning of the month.

**cosyfiep** · Apr 04, 2014, 10:38 AM // 10:38

yeah was kind of wondering if that is the case.......seem to remember a few years ago they had the birthday celebration for the whole month so perhaps they messed up with the automation and reverted back to that years codes.

(not complaining about it--just need to have time to play!!)

lets hope it is a month

i love these drops, and if its the whole month, we also get golden eggs through em (or havent you seen login announcement yet?)

i know many people who will be happy if its whole month (probably almost all GW's current players)

info about the golden egg event (made that name up here :P)
In 2014, the duration of the event will be increased to seven days.
in case you didnt know yet

ps. can anyone see if you can get the hound of balthazar again?
i have it, so cant check it out

almost forgot.... bosses might drop 50 point stuff

no eggs dropping, just party points (rockets, sparklers, etc), honeycombs, victory tokens, and the cupcakes that are supposed to be dropping. No I would not like a whole month of them, but I also have finished my party and sweet (and alcohol) titles on enough characters to not need them any more (golden eggs--yet would love them to drop for a whole month, but alas they are not dropping until the 10th).

I can verify yes on both, got a party beacon from the WiK boss Lashona and my 2nd account just got the hound.

found this posted on the wiki discussion:

Looks like the internal schedule had a typo of 2 instead of 22. I'm checking with people to find out if I should turn it off until the intended date, but for now feel free to enjoy the early birthday celebration! - Joe Kimmes
...
Update: the plan is to fix the anniversary start date for next year and let players get the benefits of the mistake this year. Enjoy the extended birthday celebration! - Joe Kimmes

also noted in the same discussion:

That is indeed super early. I've passed the report on to John Stumme and Joe Kimmes. Sadly, I was let go from ArenaNet this week, so I can't investigate it personally. Heck, maybe they turned them on for me.

sad to see Matthew go, but good to know that the celebration will go on the rest of the month...so enjoy it!!!

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the event, but bosses are dropping battle ice teas and party beacons. I've gotten 3 teas and 2 beacons so far and they drop along with other items from bosses.

Shayne Hawke · Apr 10, 2014, 03:22 AM // 03:22

I guess there's still two weeks before the game NPCs show up though.

yes bosses could drop those during the anniversary event: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Anniv...lebration#2014

and yeah, the boardwalk isnt open yet either (now that would be fun...20+ days of afk on the rings?)

jayson · Apr 11, 2014, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Eggs and bunnies are now dropping along with the previous items. I'm surprised there isn't more favor by now.

**cosyfiep** · Apr 17, 2014, 08:03 PM // 20:03

and even though they said it wouldnt start until the 22nd...the boardwalk is open and the beetleracing npcs are out too....(guess that would be what the update was about today?)
