Not that I'm going to, but I'd buy nine PC Gamer's and one Playboy

.

Ontopic now, I just saw that pic someone scanned in (thanks for that) and I must say I don't really mind too much that I can't get it out of game. They don't look all that special and they'll stand out too much for my liking.

You obviously missed the whole point of my reply. I was telling him that they said they would do region specific promotions and there's no reason to complaing when your region doesn't get it. And I'm pretty sure you can only apply one mini pet key to each account cause Anet's not stupid enough to let what you're talking about happen.

Maybe there just jealous of us.....

True knightsaber. But still, some have multiple accounts, or have access via friends.

But the coke items are different. I don't care about the minipet. I care on how it willl allow people to get in-game cash, while others cannot.

Heh, as if I'd pay real-world money for an in-game item. That's just crazy talk.

Is this already out for subscribers since people say its ugly? If so can someone post a pick of it? Please? I would like to see it so I can even know if its worth going to the store to get a magazine (whenever they are out for non-subscribers....)

Speaking of non-subscribers....can anyone tell me a general date of when it should be out in stores for non-subscribers?

For those of you in Europe, make friends with an American military person. That's your surest bet to get a mag, now and in the future. PCGamer is carried at most base bookstores. Granted, there is a limited number of issues, but at least it is there.

Well I work at a library and I think we carry this magazine. If not, I'll buy an issue. It's a magazine I should be reading anyways.

I'm hoping each GW account will only be allowed to register one PC Gaming magazine minipet. Otherwise we could get people going to stores to write down all the minipet codes and gathering them up in the game to sell. And anyone who buys a magazine with a used code is screwed. If Anet hasn't thought of that and anyone is thinking of doing that, it's best not to. Anet may take observation of this sort of thing. If the idea gets you excited, just let it go and don't risk getting banned. Just get one pet.

Here a good question.. why didn't factions get this kind of treatment before it was released? We never got a free mini pet from PC Gamer or any other gaming magazines before.

Simple.. NightFall its the final proof from Anet, for us players continue playing GW.

Its big, its important, and because of that, it has a better hype.

Hm A new mini pet sounds intresting, Since my subsciption of PCgamer ended recently I've been buying them from the stores anyways (not very cost effective, bet meh) Nothing can beat my Shiro :P I like him. I always forget to let him out tho...

YES Sir Skullcrasher! I'd love an Auction House and more storage! lol a 3rd Bag would be nice, or a 2nd view of the Storage Valt (and not one for crafting matierals only >_<)

No, you're not. European magazines will have an offer for you as well, with details to be announced soon. Not sure precisely when, I'm still awaiting word from the people who have put everything together.

You may want to check the previous thread on this mini, where I posted pretty much the same as above already

I'm glad about that, wouldn't want to miss out on something even it is just a mini pet.

Keep in mind it'll likely be a different pet and not the same one as we "yanks"
