Simple question,

Do they start on Thursday the 23rd, or Friday the 24th?

Login annoucement says Thursday the 24th (sic).

This is off the official website:

Birthday Celebration Event Calendar

Thursday, April 23

Indulge your Sweet Tooth when Birthday Cupcakes start dropping from creatures across Tyria, Cantha, and Elona.

See awesome hourly fireworks displays over Lion's Arch, Shing Jea Monastery, Kamadan, and the Great Temple of Balthazar.

Friday, April 24

Test your luck and skill at the Shing Jea Boardwalk! Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT), this popular venue will once again open to the public in the Shing Jea Monastery.

Challenge yourself and others in Rollerbeetle Races and the Dragon Arena. Starting at Noon, these mini-games will be accessible from Lion's Arch, Shing Jea Monastery, Kamadan, and the Great Temple of Balthazar.

Tuesday, April 28

Starting at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, April 28, characters turning four will find a gift in their inventories that has a new miniature from this year's birthday series. Characters turning one, two, or three will receive a wrapped miniature from that corresponding set of past Guild Wars birthday presents. We give birthday presents year round, so each of your characters will receive gifts on their personal birthdays (creation dates)

BTW search is there for a reason ,

4th birthday = 4 horseman of the apocolypse + cupcakes = partytime

To me it just looks like the poor person at Anet didn't look at his/her calender before typing in the text.
LOL
I would follow the official web sight.

I'm going to go farm like a mofo as soon as i get home from work, no cakes the first run, then I wait til friday.

How do I get web sight? Is that an upgrade to my glasses?

The deal is "sometime" today (Thursday) they are going to release the upgrades/update and start dropping cupcakes. Friday at Noon PST (GMT-8) they are opening the boardwalk games and celebration stuff.

If you have ever waited for an update from Anet, you know that it could be anytime between now and sometime Friday before it hits. But here's to hoping it is sometime around Noon PST.

New stat on the Asuran headgear methinks?

The Wiki's been pretty vague about this - suggesting that the update will be later on today. However, the in-game login announcement suggests that the event will start on the 24th, with no clarification as to whether the update will come with it.

A11Eur0 · Apr 23, 2009, 03:47 PM // 15:47

don't really need a new thread about this, do we?

The festivities begin on Thursday, April 23 after the live update and run until noon on Wednesday, April 29. Here's some of the fun we have in store

From the official site.
So it seems the update goes live in a couple of hours.

Apollo Smile · Apr 23, 2009, 03:54 PM // 15:54

Updates are on Thurday. Weekend event starts on Friday, like always.

mazza558 · Apr 23, 2009, 03:59 PM // 15:59

Awesome.

Thanks for the clarification

slowerpoke · Apr 23, 2009, 04:00 PM // 16:00

"The Update" the OP refers to could mean the new content not when cupcakes start to drop.

The answer to that is nobody knows as its not stated anywhere, hopefully today though.

Emunator · Apr 23, 2009, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Check the official site http://www.guildwars.com/events/inga...ry/default.php it says start of event AFTER the live update.
