Not really, I mean as far as features go /age isnt very useful anyway, the only reason u use it / want it is to see when you get your minipet / subsiquent bonuses for Bdays. Theres alot more important things to add than to tell you whether or not which end of a 28/31 day cycle you made your character.

Im quite content knowing I made mine in December, and i'll just wait to see exactly when.

But yeah, why has everyone been so rude, although I did think /age gave days as well, but I must have been wrong.

--------
and its not always right----my hubbys character got his minipet on the day he joined his first guild.....that was NOT the day the character was created, as he was unaware of guilds at the time and didnt have the cash in pre-searing join in any case; he formed the guild when he got to ascalon post searing which was weeks after he created his character...........so I am unsure as to why they chose that date (and the date I joined his guild will be my bday, so at least I can look that one up...).......

I just looked at my first screenshot.

It was a couple days off... :? But still, I've used that method now to find out that two of my girlfriends characters and one of my brothers characters had their birthdays, so that I could hop on their account and check their present, since they don't play anymore.

just had a thought. If you kept your orginal charatcer through out, you could check the install date for GW and then that most probably be it's birthday. There's not many people i know that install a game and dont play it then. But this would only work if you have kept your orginal charatcer.

If you still have the first character you created, and if you still have your old e-mails, you could look back through them to find your "Welcome to Guildwars" e-mail.

However, I did not get my 1 year birthday present until 1 year and 1 day by my reckoning, as I know I created my character on 24th July 2005 (and the Welcome e-mail confirmed this), but I did not get my birthday gift until 25th July 2006.

I agree that it would be nice if the / age command gave more detailed information. Even if it gave the age in days it would be an improvement.

The only way right now is to check everyday until it changes then you have which day of the month it is. So if you are at 5 months check everyday until it changes to 6 months then you know you have exactly 6 months to go.

Thanks, but I think we pretty much already established that fact. =\
