According to my oldest screenshot of my oldest character, he was created on 5/6/2005. But no mini pet showed up today (5/6/2006). Anyone else know for sure if it was 1 year to the day when theirs was created? Or does it take 1 or 2 days more?

shadow ranger · May 07, 2006, 03:52 AM // 03:52

It could go by time difference :S?

Give it another day and then it will probably be late ;\

I got mine exactly on a year after the day i started though.

Chilly Ress · May 07, 2006, 05:03 AM // 05:03

Ya, just give it some more time, no worries.

Pevil Lihatuh · May 07, 2006, 11:30 AM // 11:30

Yeah wait a couple days, my girl was made 28/04/05 in the final BWE and she got her pet on about 30/04/06. It'll turn up.

Gods Bullet · May 07, 2006, 01:40 PM // 13:40

Do you get a mini pet for free if your char is 1 year old?
Then I have to wait a few more days

TheMadKingGeorge · May 07, 2006, 02:29 PM // 14:29

woo few more days and i get my pet

cup-o-noodles · May 07, 2006, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Does your minipet show up by your characters age, or your acount age? If it's acount mine will show up in no time. If it's character I got a while to wait.

Prefectus · May 07, 2006, 05:35 PM // 17:35

its based off the day youtrre character was spawned not account based its a good job for keeping char's up for a year

cup-o-noodles · May 07, 2006, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Oh, so are there any other ways of getting mini pet? Like as a reward, not by buying one.

Mandy Memory · May 07, 2006, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Minipets/Birthdays are accurate to the microsecond. If you dont have one by (today, your post was yesturday) then you have reason to worry.

type

/age to see how old a character is.

note you do not want hours played but the number of months listed

*you have played this characterxxxxxxxhours over x months*

when months is 1 year you get the b-day pet

Grey Queen · May 07, 2006, 08:15 PM // 20:15

You get it sometimes one or 2 days later, my friends pet showed up whoel 4 days after (she checked, her char said 1 yr and it took 4 days after that for the pet to arrive)

Textural · May 07, 2006, 08:39 PM // 20:39

Yeah same, I made my character on the 28th a year ago, and I didn't get my pet until about 6+ days later.. But my friend, who made the character the same day got it exactly on the 29th/30th. Don't really understand how that works, but I guess you'll just have to be patient.

mrbb · May 07, 2006, 11:26 PM // 23:26

It might be that a-net program to check on character's birthdays run on set days so as to save on resources? This is of course just my speculation. I still have to wait 8 months

Woot! Pet showed up! (A Fungal Wallow - I shall call him 'Dick Cheney'.)

I suspect this is true - they probably run a periodic batch job to grant pets to all chars > 12 months, so around a weekend things may slip a bit.

3 more pets coming over next month!

Yefrum Skoorb · May 08, 2006, 03:24 PM // 15:24

lol...i think how it works is that you get one pet per account. so, w/e char you log in with first is the char that you pet gets added to

GranDeWun · May 08, 2006, 04:31 PM // 16:31

No, it's per character, based on the character creation date. The mini dragon for CE might be per account, not sure.
