Leaving the game for a few months and coming back? - Guild Wars Forums

Heya guys...

I have a question, I left the game for about 6 months and in that time 2 of my chars should have turned 1... but they didn't, I never got the presents and when I /age it says 8 months... I'm confused...

Does GW "freeze" your account after a certain amount of time not logging in?

Nope, they're not... Because I named one after an ex whom I know for a fact I broke up with more than a year ago...

OK, they're not 8 months old, trust me... maybe it's something else I am over looking... Will check the char, maybe i missed the present or something... thanks anyway!

There have been a lot of cases of bugs with /age, if memory recalls. Anet doesn't actively 'lock' ages, though.

presents always come unless inventory full, but u can still just remove something log in and out. But the only reason this would happen if you are correct that they are at least a year old would be a bug...anet doesnt freeze, delete, etc. accs.

It's much more likely this person was mistaken about his characters' ages, but still went through the trouble of posting a thread before that "oops" moment when he realizes his embarassment.

you may have been playing GW for more thne a year but your characters might not be as old. The character age is only as old as the day you created him/her. If you do the age emote it will give you the age of that toon and also the age of how long you have been playing GW. Anyway, if your toon age is 8 months its 8 months. If you sear its wrong then perhaps you experienced a glitch i have no idea.

good luck
