I think it would be really nice if something special would happen on your birthday. Some special things I could see happening: [list] [*]Automated Happy Birthday message [*]A some of treasure/gems [*]A special party hat your dragons can equip [*]A fancy vista [*]Marketplace discounts [*]Extra coli exp [*]Higher chance of something; rare eyes, coli loot, winning a Roundsey Prize if your birthday is on a Wednesday [*]Unhatched Egg (maybe) AND so that you can't abuse this, you can only have one birthday per year, so if you change your birthday, the change doesn't take effect until next year.

No support, since you can change your birthday in your account settings.
Having perks or rewards would mean people would just reset their birthday every day to get the rewards.

No support, not only because of above, but also because technically, 'we' don't exist, so it doesn't make sense to give perks to something that doesn't exist in lore.

That said, should we get themes in the future, I wouldn't mind more celebration or birthday oriented ones that users could apply to their accounts, or maybe have a setting where these themes will be automatically applied on the appropriate day (I say setting, because Neopets has this, and IHATE going on site and suddenly everything is PINK for valentines day, or bright for a different holiday. Chicken smoothie does this as well, and it can be annoying when you are expecting a certain color scheme only to find out you don't have it anymore because they changed the theme on you)

However, nothing more.

I think a little message for your account anniversary could be cute, prizes/presents doesn't seem necessary and some of those (eggs/Roundsey especially) are waaaaay too much.

I think it could be neat if the message went something along the lines of "Congratulations to your clan on a(nother) year in Sorneith! and then lists a few accomplishments -if applicable. You expanded your lair to however many dragons, hatched x number of nests, exalted y many dragons "your Deity thanks you for your loyal support!" Whatever things would make a good progress update.
Just a little overview of your time on the site for the year.

i'd support a cute message, but unless they made it so you can't change your birthday in settings, you shouldn't get any gift.

i think a little gift for your anniversary would be nice though! like a special piece of apparel (probably clanbound) or small amount of gems would be neat, or maybe a special chest. i think an unhatched egg would be a bit too much, though.

I think a little party hat as an anniversary gift would be nice. Everyone could get one eventually.

I think a birthday gift of some kind would be nice! Party hats and confetti flowerfalls sound nice, I think a birthday familiar would be cute too! A sprite-like creature wearing a party hat blowing a party popper maybe?

I don't think it would be worth it to change your birthday around to get these rewards, since everyone would get one eventually so it's not like they'd be worth a whole lot the way money or an egg would be.

Easy solution to people abusing this, you can only have one birthday per year, so if you change your birthday, the change doesn't take effect until next year.
