The current theory is that you need r5+ KOABD to qualify for the card

Neo Nugget · Dec 21, 2007, 01:49 AM // 01:49

Just curious, who all signed it?

10 are unreadable (at least to me)...the ones I can read are: Gaile Gray, Emilie Diell, Bobby Stein, "CI" and "CJ"...the rest look like my signature!

I got one (yay, thanks guys, you made my day! <3 <3 421/1300) but I have only 22 max. I'm still trying to figure out what it's for though!

Hott Bill · Dec 21, 2007, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Well, it is just my theory. Somehow related to the KoabD title.

No, i'm not an Arenanet fanboy, but it gives me a bit of a chill to know if they were hand signed, that Gaile/Patrick and everyone else actually held MY card o-O. THanks Arenanet, and have a good Wintersday!

Just 1 leaving question, if the cards were actually handsigned, how come I cant get the ink off?

Hey, nice comments -- makes the heart warm.

Oh and you can't remove the inke because last year the signatures smeared a bit (some even on the back of the card on top) so this year I bought those Sharpie pens that dry into a permanent ink and look all tidy.

Gaile it's late! Go get some sleep! :: hugs ::

(granted I'm maybe a little hypocritical for saying that, but I don't have to work this week!)

Mysteries are good, they keep people on their toes.

lol I agree. Gaile has the best handwriting however.

<3 Gaile and Arenanet, thanks for the card

VitisVinifera · Dec 21, 2007, 06:17 PM // 18:17

ooh Gaile says the mystery deepens. She only says those kinds of things when we are on to something, it's something to be figured out.

Well, I have r5 koabd, I did participate in the beta testing for hero battles, but others who have gotten cards didn't have either of those things. Maybe we all got unfairly banned from this forum while offering constructive criticism which Anet took to heart and appreciated?

edit: yeah Gaile's is by far the most readable. Also it's really cool to hear that it's Sharpie, not reprints.

The thing that we definitely all do have in common is that Anet has our address. Just having Koabd, or any in-game title or accomplishment, doesn't obviously transmit our address. I believe when I signed up for the beta testing, I gave that info. What other ways did we give them our address? Did we give it when ordering from the online store?

Drakken · Dec 21, 2007, 08:16 PM // 20:16

CCard ordering required a billing address, but it wouldnt be too hard for them to get that information. All thats cool. I dont mind the mystery of the mailing addresses.... the mystery of "what the 1300 have in common" has me puzzled. My KoaBD is only rank 4, but somehow I'm thinking it wouldnt be as obvious a parameter. Judging from the glee Gaile has taken in our comments... we are likely hitting all around the target but not dead on.

Gaile didn't dot her "i" with a heart this year.

Thanks for #275.

jaymat · Dec 22, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

kimbot

the rest are unreadable

btw i have 21 max titles

roflcopter ownage · Dec 23, 2007, 07:48 AM // 07:48

i have one too, i got 25 maxed titles. I also am #1 rollerbeetle racer, so that might have also made me on the list. Mine says 187/1300. I think it was definitly the online store that they used to get our adresses, cause i was not here for the beta. But still they could not have sent them to everyon that used the online store

moko · Dec 23, 2007, 10:34 AM // 10:34

a bit late but thanks for mine. <3
