You'll see than an update is in order, even if you downloaded the most recent version of the player from Adobe. This might help.
That worked. Had the magazine for a couple hours but could do nothing with it, not being able to see the registration box. Now that I can see it, it fails to send, but hey.. progress.

But that aside, good luck getting yours.
Thanks.

I guess all i can do is sit here staring at that white box hoping the movie will download.

Hoping.. hoping..

Well, this is strange. Just for fun I entered in the WoW contest... had no problem. So why can't I enter in the GW contest?!?

(LOL, it'd be funny if I won the WoW contest... I have no idea what I'd do with all that stuff!)

Use the torrent.

If you must use the website, do remember to clear your cache each time it fails or you end up with the same dud file being dropped on your desktop. The website failed for me 6 or 7 times during the time I was downloading the torrent, which takes me back to my first suggestion... use the torrent.

Anyone else think it's weird that it seems like almost all the keys are in use when you enter them and that Anet hasn't even posted anything on the guild wars site about it?

It was the Marketing Team's hope, and they worked with teh site to try to assure this, that no one would get more than one key. That would allow the maximum number of players to acquire a Miniature Ceratadon. (That's "acquire one" without having to buy one from another player who took a dozen of the "one per customer" distribution. )

If you see someone selling these keys, please let us know. Drop an email to [email protected], give us the character name involved, and we'll look into it.

I am passing along all your concerns -- multiple keys to one person, broken links, failing download (I am also having this experience), and more -- to the the people involved with this promotion on many levels. We always strive to improve the process and this is the first on-line distribution, so there is definitely room for improvement.

And this is intended to be primarily a European distribution. There is no regaional limitation, but it's an NCE project and we know that they hope that the majority will go to European players. Therefore, we have a supply of keys and will be making the Miniature Ceratadon available in North America in the future.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

I got a key, but it's in use. Sent an email, and am hoping to get a replacement key, that works. It's very disappointing that so many in-use keys are being sent out.

Well, it's quite easy to get multiple keys, all you need to do is fill in another email adress so ye,the typical abusers are swarming it I guess. just go past every major town and you'll find sellers everywhere.

I'd just like to have the mini pet, not to sell or aything, just to have him, I guess I might be silly that way lol.

Unfortunately I dont' have anything to download the torrent with otherwise I'd use that.

And the site is being slow as molasses =/

Yeah, I found that odd as well. First try at WoW contest = entered.

Over 100 tries to get minipet = FAIL.

Easy, I log into my first account, I enter the key on my first account, I log out of my first account, I log in with my second account, I enter they key on my second account, I log out of my second account, I log into my third account, I enter the key on my third account, I log out of my third account.

THEN I go down stairs and get my laptop, Then I go into the next room and start up my other computer. Then I log into each account and party up You can guess the rest
