I tend to agree with lots of people that we have enough minis already (I wanted a mini beetle but that wont happen in my lifetime now )..

so how about some useful things???
more storage space for your bday?
a customized weapon for your character (for the appropriate class as well).
a birthday hat, though again that would be quite useless.
a rare gem or ectos.....always welcome I believe.

or

something like the amulet of the mists....that you can trade in for something like a weapon, ecto or black dye.....and non transferable as well (so only the character can use it).

Couldn't agree more, I think its quite an accomplishment to the veteran players for being able to play for two years.

Default 2nd birthday ideas

Well I like my minpets, but for the 2nd birthday I was thinking:

Option to change your character's appearance (though this would be difficult to implement unless it were through some sort of item)
Title track of characters age
All you can drink\eat on the day of -thats how my birhtdays work anyway...
A divine aura
Portable access to storage
Reset of deathcount
Access from then onward to an exclusive "Veteran's", "Who's Who", or "Ancients Heroes" Lounge\Club\Hall Area with free booze (preferably in conjunction with a title, but please not item based)

Some of these things have already been said, I know.

Here are a few things I would prefer be avoided.

Nothing that can be traded
If it can be traded then a character with alot of money or a very "young" character can own it. This detracts from the significance of a characters age and goes against what I'm assuming is the whole purpose of birthday presents.

No updated storage (not specific to birthdays anways)
As you probably already know, something as significant as an update in storage needs to be a blanket update for everyone or at least be based on achievements within the game. Seeing as how this would improve functionality drastically it would be better to use it as a step towards improving the game as a whole and thus draw the attention of new players rather than rewarding those who are obviously at the very least satisfied with the game.

No Minipets Redux
I simply have no interest in new minpets. Though mini grenth could be kind of cool...


I like that idea very very much - the part with the Portable access to storage or Reset of deathcount is just awesome. GJ man - i hope they do that.

Something I've always wanted:

A special slot added to the character inventory, in which you could add special effects.

Say, for example:

-Rune of Levitation: When equipped, the character would glide around, like a Mursaat, instead of running or walking. Tired of levitating? Unequip the rune.

-Fiery Aura: When equipped, your character becomes engulfed in a flame. (Causes no harm, of course.)

-Angelic wings: When equipped, your character sprouts a set of Angelic wings. Although they don't actually allow the character to fly, they'll flap around whenever you activate a skill, or something of the sort. (They would be dyable, and would be based off the wings from the Paragon Skills.)

But, yeah... You know. Stuff like that.

Honestly? I don't mind the Mini pets all that much, but I wouldn't mind seeing something new either.

My idea for the new year is birthday bage, when your character turns 2 years old you recieve 10 birthday bags, cupcakes, a Party Hat and a Title.
(as it is such a special occasion)

Special Gift:
"Party hat"

30 birthday cupcakes-makes you run 50% faster 5 points towards sweet tooth each

Title: "Happy Birthday"

10 Birthday bags: may contain:

*15 birthday cupcakes(25%)
*1 random minature(10%) (see list below)
*10k(10%)
*5 Birthday cards- for 15 minutes party members gain 250% extra experience from combat(25%)
*15 red gift bags(25%)
*Minature Gaile Gray(5%)

Miniatures:
Minature Ruby Djinn
Minature Undead Lich
Minature Abaddon
Minature Graven Monolith
Minature Juggenaut
Minature Rurik(with awesome new Icy Dragon Sword)
Minature Scythe Of Chaos
Minature Glint
Minature Chaos Wurm

A new take on the Prophecies collector's edition would be cool (the glowing hands thing).

Something that cannot be traded, wont interfere with game play (i.e. hats), and wont take up storage space like holiday items or mini-pets. A two year old character is probably seriously played enough to make use of that space.

Please no more mini-pets! I love the ones that are currently out but they are getting overdone and don't have much significance anymore.

To be honest, adding auras and stuff like that would be really cool at first. But after EVERYBODY started getting one it would be like...look at that noob without the aura, instead of oh wow that looks pretty cool.

A birthday cake hat with 2 candles flickering on top would be kinda cool.

That will happen with everything. As long as there is some way to SHOW you are 2yo people will know when you aren't.

some really cool ideas here......I hope anet is keeping an eye on this

I agree no more mini pets, no more hats. Something totally different than anything we've had, and hopefully doesn't take inventory space.

Right now Mini pets have done nothing than inflate the in-game economy.

It's got to stop somewhere otherwise it will be impossible to sell anything without having to sift through twenty different messages in the main chat from people selling the mini pigs (20k min, you can't get them now that the event is over anymore ). This would have been solved outright if the mini pets (the birthday ones at least) had been customized for the character they belonged to.

I've only been playing Guild Wars for nine months, and (obviously) don't have a character that has even reached one year old. Despite this, I still have ridiculous storage problems. Maybe something can be done to change this?

Whatever gets decided, I would hope that it is nothing that changes the economy with such an impact as the mini pets. Customization would make the achievement of having a character for two years much more personal as well.

an item (like a full body suit) that you can run around in that makes you look like a monster.
