Absolutely. All eligible accounts will receive their respective gifts even if the accounts have been inactive.

Do I have to log in to the game during the festival to receive my gifts?
No. Even if you are unable to log in during the anniversary festival, you will still receive your gifts upon your next login. We think you’ll want to join us for the festival though – it’s going to be quite a party!

How do I receive my gifts?
Your gifts will appear automatically in your inventory upon login, provided there are enough open spaces available.

Eligible players will have their new portrait frame automatically applied to your characters upon login.
