Mini-pets! It's what we got for keeping a character 12 months right, but what about 24 months? What would YOU like?

I've been having thoughts like... what about separate gifts for characters and accounts? 1 type of gift for a 24 month old character and another for a 24 month old account. The account birthday present is mainly for the PvP'ers who don't keep characters, because I thought they were left out unfairly in the first round.

For 2 year old characters I'm thinking of:
* a class specific gift
* another mini-pet! (mini-pets, round 2!)
* a Zimmer frame? Stair lift maybe? Ok ok... just kidding

For accounts I'm thinking of
* a title for old age ("granpa", "old coot" etc - something slightly funny that you wouldn't mind for being an old timer)
* an emote (something to do with being old maybe)
* a flashy aura
* a useful class-specific item that appears in each character's inventory (like the daggers + ritualist staff that come with one of the Factions packs)
* a useless item that looks funky - maybe a familiar that sits on your shoulder
* spectacular capes that reach the floor (on a toggle with the old style)

I think so far I like the idea of Round 2 minipets for character birthdays and spectacular capes for account birthdays

What do YOU want?

Whatever a.net gives us, I want it to be a surprise.

EricG · Jul 05, 2006, 06:10 PM // 18:10

I like the title idea.

What about an item that changes your character's look to a that of a monster's, i.e. Shiro'ken Warrior. But it only works in towns.

i want parade suit which would only take 1 inventory slot, i like to wear something neat at special situations... it should be dye able and you could wear it over your old armor (douple click on and off). so you could also use it outside from towns... :P

ps. there should be dif ones too

Maybe a bucket of fireworks? Psssssssssssssseewwwwwwwwwwww......BOOM!

TheSonofDarwin · Jul 05, 2006, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Although I'd just sell it, maybe one token to change your characters appearance? I mean it's a reasonable possibility since you are "aging," and this would give them the perfect opportunity to allow this without allowing it full-time which they don't seem to be in favor of.

I'd be happy with anything though. Mini-pets are fine by me as the only b-day presents.

I would like a GW kid!

<3

though my warrior has never drank a drink...oh wait...dang, during the festival he did drink some rice wine....now i get it why that kid is following me...hope it was just a one time thing...

anyway, whatever Anet gives us as birthday presents is more than enough, and i think i have read somewhere they already have presents ideas

A really cool graphic skill

I would like my mini pet to grow a little each year. Maybe 30% larger per year until it reaches the size of a seige turtle....

Really, I would!

I like these:

* a title for old age ("granpa", "old coot" etc - something slightly funny that you wouldn't mind for being an old timer)
* a useless item that looks funky - maybe a familiar that sits on your shoulder
*parade suit

But in general the suprise is good

The milk shake · Jul 06, 2006, 07:27 AM // 07:27

probably both a minipet and a new title called
*senior citizen*
btw this game is 24 months old already?

I vote for this! That would be so cool to have random enemies or storyline characters running around towns. Gwens, Ruriks, Mursaat, Trolls, Charr, Shiro's, Kuunavangs, Togo, Danika, just anything! LOL

Wow, yeah! Reminds me of Babality! from mortal combat

I'd love a cute little version of my character following me around
