Everyone has to redo the quest when Nightfall goes live; he gets deleted after the world preview event.

Man.. that's not even worth it. PC gamer is the most expensive magazine i've ever seen. $14 at the local convenience store.

I saw the PCGamer out at Borders, but theirs weren't in bags and they let people read the magazines. Didn't want to risk someone having stole the key. I'll wait a few days til my Compusa gets it in as they sell them in the bags.

I went to waldenbooks before work today and they had it still in the plastic. The nightfall story is like 7 pages long which is nice. The key is near the back of the mag.

My waldenbooks had 0 open and all were still in there plastic case. So if i dont get it then they must be stealing it themselves

It would be nice to know, in the mean time, whether we will be able to get the quest and the pet then, or whether it is only a beta weekend thing.
I believe the only way to get the quest is to have the key, because the key lets you get the bonusitem "Broken Toy" and thats a main part of the quest. Oh and you can get the pet during both times. If you complete the quest during beta you get him, but hes wiped after the beta ends. When the game is officialy released you can complete the quest again to get him again.


[to the post ^] Those are awesome, I'd love to have one of those tree moss dudes (forgot there exact name) and the Warden looks kinda cool to.

island guardian looks good, if we had that instead of the terrible looking gray giant i'd actually try to get a magazine with a code in.

Someone clarify this for me.. we can't have pandas as pets because they're an endangered species and China would have a problem with Anet... but... it's ok to have a mini-pet panda?

Am I missing something?

My local Borders carries tons of PC/Game magazine, but not PC Gamer.
Although my Wal-Mart do carry PC Gamer! Haven't checked yet, last week they still have Octobers issue.

Mini-pet pandas can't be killed. There's a panda NPC in the game already, they are just weary of letting people kill pandas.

I've had my magazine for a week since I got it in the mail, and finally got around to entering the access key - and I also get the same message:

"the access key you have entered is in use. Try entering another access key. If this problem persists, visit the Guild Wars support website. (Code=103)"

Is this a common problem or should i also open a support ticket?

also a bit odd is that they list the key as starting w/ an extra number -
eg. X-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Someone selling it? There are only 8 in existence and they went to the winning team in the championship. If you do find one of them; I doubt they'd sell. If they would, it would cost some astronomical price.

Everyone's been saying it would be in the November issue since sometime in August. No idea how you managed to miss that.

for those in the UK, it MAY be PC Format magazine that will supply the mini-pet instead of PC Gamer, found this pictue on the European site of GW:

If I get key after incoming Nightfall event (OR even after main date of Nightfall release) will I still be able to enter/use it to do quest and get pet?

Can I get any "confirmed answer"?

50 mags at 5 bucks a pop, or more, is about 250 bucks. You can buy the gold on some rmt site for a whole lot less.

Seriously, all these people worrying about "exploiting" this whole deal are idiots. Besides, ONLY ONE KEY WORKS FOR ONE ACCOUNT.

Yes, you will be able to do the quest when you add the key. I don't think it has to be added prior to release of Nightfall.
