Talk:Anniversary gift box
- just making the page for you wiki literates... i gots two gifts from this! *grin*- catdrake
- Added trivia section plus message received when the item's given to you. --Sinister the Pink 02:12, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
What determined whether or not you got one? I got one, but one of my clanmates didn't.--Kameko 02:34, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
- i didn't get anything either..maybe your account had to be a certain age?
- I think it might've been two years, now that I've looked at the items.--Kameko 02:49, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
The two different items are for one year and two year anniversaries. It mentions it in the item descriptions. Sculpture= 1 year, Shorts= 2 years. Penguinwarrior06 07:17, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
I am useless at editing pages. However, I did get some anniversary jam for my third year of playing. You should definitely talk someone into adding its details.
will you get the sculpture + shorts on the second years or just the shorts, i'm afraid of opening mine =) --jeremypv 08:28, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
So what would happen if someone who has been in the game for one year were to give his/her unopened gift to someone else who has been in the game for three years? --Baltar 14:40, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
Gift packages can't be given away can they? Anyway, I got three gifts from mine, since I'm a three-year vet. I've updated the page to reflect that. What I want to know is: what is the fourth anniversary present? Surely this game has some four year vets, or if it doesn't, it soon will. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 14:59, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
- Also, I got them in the reverse order they are shown on the page currently:
- You acquire an item: jar of anniversary jam
- You acquire an item: spandex anniversary shorts
- You acquire an item: anniversary chutney sculpture
- --Club (#66669) (Talk) 15:02, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
These can't be opened in ronin or hardcore. --Motor on 21:23, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
This seems unclear to me, were these only given out when NS13 rolled out to players with accounts > 1/2/3 years or will all players recieve them when their acocunt is 1/2/3 years old ? --Mskc 13:00, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
- The "belated" ones went out at NS13 rollout. Regular ones will appear on regular anniversaries. (I'm pretty sure.) Probably only the belated ones will have multiple items. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 13:48, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
My 3 year anniversary was today... I didn't realize it was when I opened my original anniversary gift box. When I opened my original one, I got the chutney sculpture and spandex shorts. Today, I got another anniversary gift box and when I opened it, I got ANOTHER anniversary chutney sculpture instead of a jar of anniversary jam. --OMGWTFLOL 07:42, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
If anyone is willing to do so, can any of these items be pulverized? If so, what do they yield? --Emtu 11:18, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
given their lack of elemental enchantments, probably twinkly powder. Russianspy1234 14:16, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
On September 29, 2007, every player was given one of these. Does anybody know why?--Poketape 17:17, 29 September 2007 (CDT)
- "The topic or post you requested does not exist." Got the real link? --Club (#66669) (Talk) 13:55, 2 October 2007 (CDT)
- It was a sticky when I posted it. I don't forum enough to know whether it was deleted or merged with a different thread. Incidentally, I'm operating under the belief that extraneous gift boxes were nuked by Jick and co., so if anyone actually got to keep theirs, the edit to the article that I undid should be added back. --Bagatelle 22:02, 2 October 2007 (CDT)
Well, I was able to keep my box until today when I finished a HCO run. It opened just fine, giving me a second sculpture. Am I a rare case or did everyone else get to keep their extra boxes?--Kingdomsora 20:00, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
If you open your one year, will another be sent for the Two year, and then the three year after that?--Narth Vader 21:13, 24 November 2007 (CST)
- Yep. You get a new one each anniversary. --TechSmurf
If you open this year's next year, will you get this year's items or next year's items. (Confusing, I know. Lets say this. Say my KoLversary is on December 31st, and I started playing in 2006. I get the gift box on December 31st, 2007, but I wait until December 31st, 2008, and open both boxes. Will I get two shorts and two sculptures, or one shorts and two sculptures?--Eniteris 21:06, 7 March 2008 (CST)

Today I got one of these, but the message was slightly different: "Happy Belated Anniversary! Since you've decided to stick around and play the game for so long, we felt that we should give you something. Enjoy, and thanks for playing! We hope you continue to enjoy the game.
You acquire an item: anniversary gift box
You've been granted access to a new chat channel: /veteran" Also, I got this on the 23rd, even though the actual anniversay was on the 21st. Weird, huh? --Juhy 08:16, 23 January 2008 (CST)
- Did you get on the game on the 21st or 22nd, it may be if this is the first time you have been on since the anniversery you get the belated message. --Chunky_boo 10:36, 23 January 2008 (CST)
- Ah, you might be right there, Chunky. Should this be added to the main page? Maybe just a note? Either way, glad we cleared this up.--Juhy
The 9th year item can be seen on Inconnu (#37). Someone who is good at making and editing pages can add it. --P4n1q 23:27, 26 May 2012 (CEST)
Getting into useless details here, but: I logged in for the first time since Crimbo '09 last week. Had one gift box waiting, which contained two gifts from the two anniversaries I missed (lard and fedora). So if you don't even log in for multiple years, all the gifts you're due will be waiting in one box, similar to when they first rolled out the thing, I guess. --James Lovelock 16:08, 28 June 2012 (CEST)
- ...and now I just got my anniversary gift box a day early. Hrm. Is it definitely based on when you log in after rollover, the exact date of? Maybe it misses out on leap years or something? --James Lovelock 00:27, 28 July 2012 (CEST)
- I recently learned the gift box gets delivered at the time your account was created, so maybe you created your account shortly before rollover that fateful day? --Yatsufusa 07:42, 28 July 2012 (CEST)
delay?
- just hit four years playing (go me!) but i didn't get my gift box. i didn't open my original one. do you get a second if you've already got one? should i start complaining, or is there a delay? it occurs to me that it might arrive on the rollover of the day itself, but the page hints that it's an on login thing. --Evilkolbot 06:42, 23 April 2008 (CDT)
- There's a delay, yes. I'm not exactly sure what it is. Specific time on the server that it checks for anniversaries, I think. I had a similar issue with my 1 year box, but it arrived several hours after I was expecting it. I forget if I had to wait for the next rollover or day; don't think I did. I'd give it until the day after you registered before worrying any. This makes me think of an unrelated question: if you register your account on the leap day of a leap year, how would it handle your anniversary gift? Surely someone has done this before; I wonder if any of them are still around? --Flargen 13:32, 23 April 2008 (CDT)
- I would bet that it waits till rollover. If it waited until rollover of the day AFTER you registered, it would not have trouble dealing with accounts made on a leap day of a leap year (I don't think).--Plater (t|c) 13:37, 23 April 2008 (CDT)
- it didn't wait until rollover. i got it when i logged back in at 21:29 BST. i'm guessing that the time is stored along with the date and this is what is checked. i can't remember what time i first registered. perhaps some long-term spading is required. my attention span is too short, though, so perhaps someone else? --Evilkolbot 02:22, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

So is there a six-year gift yet? There must be somebody with accounts that old. —Yendor 20:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
The sixth item is anniversary safety glass vest --Lexigibbs 08:45, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
what happens if you don all anniversary gifts?
Given that it is possible to wear all seven anniversary gifts at once, has anyone done this? What happens? --Stonecat 13:31, 27 April 2011 (CDT)
No More Anniversaries?
Can anyone confirm that the 11th anniversary gift box is the last one players will receive? If so, the page should be updated with that info. --Sensibleb (talk) 12:55, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- My account was created on October 28, 2004. I haven't received a gift yet. --Akatosh (talk) 10:25, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- My main is ancient and I have not gotten anything the last 2 anniversaries. Also I remember Jick mentioning it in response to a question asking for more items on the podcast so it might change at some point.--Rain (talk) 17:55, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
