Okay, I read the GW section... I'm not impressed.
I don't know, I had no problem with the WoW contest.
I think it's the GW crowd killing it. Or there's something very wrong with their distribution system (or a combination of both...)

Please note that the free Guild Wars pet for every reader is limited to the first 40,000 readers to register for the pet. We believe this is enough for every reader of MMOZine, but there are no guarantees. We are experiencing unprecedented demand for this issue, which is great. We've glad you like the magazine. However, it does mean that some downloads may be slower than normal. Please note that there is only one pet per reader for the Guild Wars giveaway. New keys are not being issued to readers with an existing key assigned. UPDATE 2: We are doing everything we can to increase capacity for this magazine, but it is not possible to solve this problem instantly. Emails with codes and confirmation of subscriptions to the magazine are also being delayed because of the extremely high demand. Again, thank you all for your interest. Please be patient. |
I'm starting my pdf download now, let's.. hope it works, if not it's all right too.

I can't sit around all day waiting for someone to sort out my code.
RL calls. I fully expect to get shafted with this.
I would hope they make good on replacement codes. It's not our fault we're getting codes already in use.

Ah, I just read Gaile's mention that there will be more Ceratadon's in the future. That puts me at ease a bit.
I'm the world's biggest dinosaur nut. I haven't been this excited since I first entered the Ascalon Foothills in '05.

Ok i managed to get it downloaded and i happily put my name and email in there ^^
I got the code sent to me and i put it into gw and it said this code is already in use 0_0 I thought that was odd, so i tried again and after a few attempts i managed to get the mini pet :-)
Though it has many problems with the pdf like the embedded flash does not appear so you cant enter your detailed half the time :-S
I do not know much about pdf files and flash things so i don't know how to fix that kind of thing, all i know is i had a window pop up saying would you like to view the multmedia/interactive blah blah blah..you need to tick yes otherwise i notice it wouldnt show and if that box doesnt show up first time the form also wont show!
Is it just me or was this mini pet giveaway all a bit secret??
I have not heard anything of it until today when i saw one of my alliance members with one ??

i got mine after trying for about an hour! tried to get my dad to get me another code for father in law, who's in hospital but he wrote his email wrong So somewhere out there, someone has got a mini pet that will never get used
JeniM
It keeps telling me i have already regestered so it's either :
a) I'll get lots of emails (as i keep trying) with codes and will share with guildies (if thats allowed (no profit just sharing))
or and i'm betting on this option
b) Someone had the great idea of making it check IP's and as i'm in a block of flats i think i share main IP with 755 other students some if just ones done it then poof goes my mini

I only submited 1 request for a code but for some reason I got three seperate emails, at the same address, each with a unique code. I'd give the other 2 away but I am not certain which 1 I used.

Of course, I'm judging only from the screenshots, since I don't have one. grrrrrrrr
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the Ceratadon.

AAAH I got mine. x]
Took me a while, but I got it through my friend. Now to get one for my 2nd account so I can give it to a friend who's away for a week.
Thanks to the person who's uploaded the PDF, I'm very thankful. :]
EDIT:. By the way it's called a "Mini Ceratodon", and it's gold. Gimme a few minutes and I can the inventory pic and such.

Does the mini pet come in the email? Because I have successfully registered but still no mini pet email! T_T
the_last_m_p
Ok, this promotion was bugged on SO many levels... First I get a LOT of "oopses", then it tells me my email is already registered, so I try another, more oopses. At the same time, my poor cousin does the same all accross the world (and it is REALLY late for him). All of a sudden I get around 30 emails to my original address, containing two codes - one is "in use" another is ok, so I am happy.
My cousin gets "in use" key. I try to console him when to my second email a key arrives. Hoping for the best I enter it in my second account (not wanting to get his hopes up) and.... "in use". I refresh my mailbox - yet another key :S I enter it - success!
So now both I and my cousin have a minipet each. And how long did it take me? oh, nothing really, from 19:30 or so till 22:25....
*sigh* At least it ended well.
Can anyone beat my misfortune? Did anyone get it worse (aside from those who didn't get it at all, that is)?

vergerefosh
Gold Pet.
Dunno if people already know the e-mail address, but one of my friends tried to get it, got white box. SO I said I'd give it a go. Wouldn't let me get one. But it gave me an e-mail address, so I told him to try that, not seen him since he did that, so dunno if it worked. Anyhoo, e-mail address for those who don't know it [email protected]. Just put in the same details as for registration. First name, Last Name, e-mail.
Should work, if it does, glad I could help. If doesn't, darn it

thanks squishy.
registering for the magazine does nothing. you have to download the pdf file and in the actual ezine there is a form to fill out. i never registered for the ezine and still got a pet code. here is a copy of my one and only email from them:
"Thank you for registering for your Guild Wars Miniature, (miss puddles). Here is
your unique code: (insert code here)
To activate the Miniature, follow the instructions in the magazine. Do not share
this code with anyone else, as it is only valid once and is uniquely generated
for your email address. You will only be able to activate the pet once.
If you know of a friend who would like the pet also, please simply email them
the address of the magazine, http://www.gamerzines.com/mmozine/ so that they can
register for free themselves to receive the pet.
If you haven't done so already, please consider subscribing to MMOZine to ensure
we can tell you when we publish the next issue:
http://www.gamerzines.com/manage-my-mags.html
Happy MMO Gaming

Don't know if it's IP address dependent, has anyone else managed it more than once from the same PC? |
Plus when you try to mail the contact addy they give you for "if you think this is wrong" the mail just gets bounced back. And my poor guildie got a "This key is already in use"
