Miniature

General
Miniatures are received via birthday presents given to players directly into their inventories a year after their character had been created.

There are eight common (white), three uncommon (purple), two rare (gold), and one green.

Some uncommon mintures include a mini Burning Titan and some rares include mini Rurik and Shiro Tagachi.

Letter From Gaile:

"Hey, all,

I'm getting ready to pop into the game, so I apologize for not reading all the posts now (I'll read 'em later), but here is info on the birthday gifts:


 * You will receive a birthday gift on any character who is one year old.
 * Yes, it's character, not account.
 * You may keep that gift forever; it will not expire. (We would not do that to you!)
 * You may trade, give, or (I guess, if you're heartless ) sell your gift(s).
 * If you exchange with a player who has a character who is less than one year old, the gift will not go away. (Again, we would not do that to our players -- they are yours to share!)
 * If you want to see what happens with your 2nd birthday... time will tell!

I don't know, I have a feeling that some player somewhere might be muttering, "Why didn't they fix the rock on the third mission instead of giving us birthday gifts?" But I know in my heart that this is a huge thing, and will be well loved by just about every single player, PvEer, PvPer, or someone in between.

And it all started with an in-office birthday party, a My Little Pony birthday hat, and with Mike O'Brien being willing to listen, and to act, during what was probably the most stressful day of the entire development cycle.

Dev Team, you rock!!!"
