Dear John Stumme,

I've always liked the Birthday event, because it's always the same week as our anniversary. This year it starts ON our 7th anniversary, and as I can't go buy my hubby GW2 as an anniversary present the Birthday Party better be good!

Old but I just saw this on Wiki

Elite Xunlai Bakery Agents have begun preparations for the anniversary celebration, set to start April 28th.

I see that as...
Birthday presents for 6 year old toons
Birthday presents are Minis last time I checked

and we all know the pissing,moaning and crying Anet would receive if they changed that

Not to mention More minis for peeps HOM

The other special stuff...........My take?
Perhaps the Introduction to Guildwars Beyond Winds of Change.(My wish Actually)

That would be too predictable. John said that we are in for a surprise on the 6th anniversary. We already know that WoC is happening.

I predict Everlasting Sweets usuable in explorable areas.. much like the tonics but this ones will apply the same effects as the non-EL sweets that we currently use to race through dungeons and elite areas..

.. or not

No, on several occasions John has stated that WoC will start AFTER the anniversary build. So they are two completely different things.
My guess would be a couple of new quests, maybe new games (like bar brawl)?

GW Karasu · Apr 28, 2011, 10:58 AM // 10:58

I can assure you WoC would not ever be part of the anniversary update. Just like WiK there will probably come a period of teasers etc. And last time I checked WoC was far from ready to be released b/c of the huuge amount of new content. Don't worry. There's bound to be some cool updates for everyone in this build =D

I'm curious to when exactly the update will launch ^^ Lately everything has been kind of last-minute

MithranArkanere · Apr 28, 2011, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Ah... I wish I had Internet Connection by 2005 so I could have 6 years old characters right now...

How much you wanna bet you didn't read John Stumme's reply on page 2 of this thread before you posted that?

While these events have long passed, the after-effect of this plot has caused instability to seep into the land causing fluctuations. This Flux will come and go monthly and cause alterations to PvP that will encourage players to alter their playing style in order to take advantage of the current Flux.

Other features of the Anniversary Update include:
High Resolution Textures in Town – Added option to use hi-res textures while in outposts
Hard Mode Quests – Designed to challenge even the most experienced players
Mutual Friends List – Displays the current location of your mutual friends through the Friends List
Birthday Tonics – With over 30 new ones in total, all six-year birthday characters will receive a tonic!

all characters will recieve a tonic!

So we'll finally be able to see the beautiful armor of the other players in town, or is it somethind else ?

epervier · Apr 28, 2011, 01:15 PM // 13:15

I sure hope so, I've been using KSmod to see everyone else's armor when I'm staying in town for a few things. I don't do PVP but the flux idea sure sounds interesting.
