I think one of the musts is a name/appearance change tolkens, because for 1 some of us picked dumb names for their characters and want to change them, and second some of the appearances are not our first choice anymore(i've deleted more than a few characters because of the name or how it looks)Therefore it would be usefull to turn in a tolken than delete your work put into a character because of a dumb name!.

but that would be completly useless to someone that doesnt want to change anything /not signd

^Also they've stated the technical aspects of both of those is some what impossible with the current state of the game. It could probably be done but would involve rewriting massive amounts of code and a lot of time.

A new title (2 years old character) + new elit mission only for 2 years old chars.

That would just make it harder to get a group together to do the mission...

re-open the catacombs in tyria and let 2 year olds access it.

Brandon1107 · Mar 10, 2007, 02:33 AM // 02:33

you should get a a title

Birthday Title Track (you must have this character for 2 years to wear this title)

2 years: Old Timer
3 years: Geezer
4 years, 5 years...ect.

Or maybe a birthday present and when you open you can get something random. Anything.

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 10, 2007, 05:07 AM // 05:07

We should get something cool for our birthdays, having "old timer" or "geezer" by your name isn't very flattering and isn't the cool kind of reward I would want...

The Mad Man · Mar 10, 2007, 09:09 PM // 21:09

I didnt take the time to go through the 30 pages of posts to see if this has been mentioned, and i know how amazingly HARD the programming would be.....but what about a MINI ME! a miniature of the character at the time he/she aged for the second year. lol

Shakkara · Mar 10, 2007, 10:30 PM // 22:30

Prefer not to have a miniature as it clogs up storage space.

But if we are to have mini's, then I'd like to have...

Wind Rider (So cute, my favorite creature. And they're shiny!)
Mursaat (Cause they float)
Bladed Termite (Odd little cute thingie)
Tengu (feathered things are cute too)

And I hope they add in an owl of sorts, I love owls.

Introducing, Toymaker Fred! Just show him one mini bone dragon or any other rare mini, then sell it and buy another for only 100 gold! Making players rich and killing the economy in only a matter of days!

oops............

NO NEW MINIs PLEASE. It's hard enough to collect them all and adding more will just take up more storage space. I do like the title track idea, and for the 2 yr mark maybe they should get something of value like another character slot or a PvP version of any campaign. But then again I do like the idea of a mini me pet which cannot be traded with other ppl but im sure that would be hard to render everytime u change armor sets.

Katrina Sandstorm · Mar 11, 2007, 10:10 AM // 10:10

*Congratulations your character is 2 years old, have some extra storage!*

=HT=Ingram · Mar 11, 2007, 03:26 PM // 15:26

OMG that was exactly my idea. With all the tunics we have seen during the holidays I wanted to propose a Perminate tradeable tonic that allows a player to change skins to a creature in town... Like Charr or Mursaut Or Centuars, something like that...

Another Idea would be to add a function to become the minipet instead of just showing it. So the item used in conjunction with any minipet makes you turn into that minipet full size in town. (not being able to attack obviously).. I like this even more then the first thought.

Cube of Avatar (Double click on and select a minipet {Like Identifying}) Becomes that creature in town.

OMG That would be SOOO cool for a 2 year birthday item.. OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!

Another Idea from a LONG time ago. There was a suggestion Ages ago for Town Tunics (Civilian Clothes) for use while in towns, outposts, and guild halls. That could be used for Group gatherings and Alliance Identification. (Like the cape does for a guild)

But I like the cube of avatar Much much more!!!! And it makes a 2yr character very unique!!! And makes use of their original present too...

Anyways. Just some thoughts...

That would be great.

There are alot of ideas to come up with for new mini pets. True I agree, with most people who like to collect the different mini's there just is not much room to keep all the pets. If GW is wanting to make new mini's, having another storage tab like the material page in the storage would work wonderfully for the mini pets. I am amongst many others, who enjoy the mini pets would love to collect new ones...despite those who wish not to have more. Perhaps GW can make up two different types of gifts that a birthday player could pick once reciving a notice that it's thier players b-day and may type in one of the following commands to recive a gift of one or the other to open of thier choosing (blue gift which is known for the mini pet or a new gift, w/e the gift color may be with something else that the other players may prefer as the new B-day gift...exp: hats, items, ect.).

Here are a few of my ideas...

Mini Pets: Mursaat, Mad King, Dwanya, Grenth, Balthazar, Spider, Guardsman Oldrich

Misc ideas...

Weapon decor skins that can add more of a cutomized look to your weapon uniques. Sorta like a decal over w/e skin your weapon is. People want to look different this adds more uniqness. Someone has a same skin as another it can still look different cause of the decal that is placed on it. This item should be salvagable too in case someone no longer wants that weapon he can salvage it still risking loosing his item.

Thanks for listening

Hmm, 2 years, that will take 14 months for me.
By that time I want to be able to show off my amount of gathered experience in towns and outposts. By means of a never ending titletrack. 2 year old mules don't get anything this way as it should be for not actually playing.
This titletrack should stop people from calling somebody a noob when that somebody has like 5 million xp.

MrSlayer · Mar 11, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Having 5 million XP doesn't make you not a noob. You could have earned all that doing one thing, eg farming the Smite run (hint to W/Rt mania out there) and know jack-all about tanking or the elite-ownage-poWA of mending.

2 years old...hmmm

Why not some sort of bonus item displayable in towns and creatable/deleteable freely. Similar to the /bonus items, they would NOT be tradeable, and could be remade and deleted any number of times. Perhaps a special armor suit, or even a miniature.

Cake Sama · Mar 11, 2007, 11:40 PM // 23:40

i agree with the statement "no more minis" i have wasted more than enough money

maybe as a gift u should be able to get a truly unique weapons thats... well unique to u and only to you

Problem is, this thread is for suggesting birthday presents, not ways to show off how much xp you have. There have already been many threads about how that would result in unnecessary elitism and would just give people that farm uw/fow non-stop an unwarranted reward.

Dark-NighT · Mar 12, 2007, 01:32 AM // 01:32

Please no new minipet, we really have enough of them and while i do enjoy them i still think we need something more solid as a birthday gift, for one thing it shoud be customized so that it stay's yours, and remains unique to that player only, not that a new lvl 2 post searing character with to much money can buy a bone dragon in ascalon, there's no fun in that.

I verymuch support the idea of a unique set of armor, one that is really cool, though i dont know if that is ever gonna work, also i like the idea of a weapon of choice entitled with your character name and choosable mods like hct 20%, hsr20%, 15^50, Hp+ 30 or sundering 20/20% which you only can choose 3 of one as inherent and 2 like any other green/gold weapon.

Then there's the suggestion to bring in some sort of a divine aura... well i own Prophecies CE and i would be kinde dissapointed to see a 2 year old with an aura that i have received with the expensive CE! (and getting rare to)

I just thought about another present, some sort of stolen armor item, in which you can deliver that to any armor trader and that trader offers you any character related max armor design, including obsidian but obsidian would cost you half the price in ecto's and shards.

Another option would be to well, get you back in pre searing with that character only, to give other players a fair game your attributes should be halved and most of your skills unusuable except for what is available in the pre, and ofcourse you'd be allowed back in the pre for 3 times.

Cheers
