Moral of the story is if they like you they send lots of valid codes. if they don't they send you used ones and ignore your emails. Need devine help really

Yes, active codes are still being sent.
No, it doesn't store your IP or information.
Yes, you can recieve multiple codes with the same email. (You'll probably have to because of the number of "in use" codes being sent around)

I just got mine, so they are still handing them out, I had to use a different PC and my hotmail account to get a code that worked. (adobe seems to cache something so that it knows you already sent from that machine, I couldn't be bothered to figure out where that was)

I could have sworn already posted in this thread, but I can't find my post anywhere, so here it is again.

I did the whole shpeel, I downloaded, I submitted, and I received a code in my email. I entered the code and it tells me this:

What. The. Crap. I resubmitted my info 3 times after this and was given the exact same code 3 times, I also tried 2 other email addresses and was given a message saying I already submitted and that they would re-send my code to those emails, which I never received. I already emailed them about this and have yet to get a reply. Anyone know any other alternatives to this? Waiting around for some crappy customer support over something as sketchy as this doesn't seem like it's going to get me anywhere I'm gonna have to hurt someone if I miss out on this because of their stupidity.

Same boat, and there are no other alternatives. /sigh

Mango is awesome, but I'm still going to try to get a working key so I can donate to another friend who is having problems.

How do you fill out the "box" below? The downloaded version has no box to fill out.

Yayyy, Happy ending for me. I finally got home from work and I've been trying to access the magazine for several hours. I almost gave up on it.

Spent a few hours trying to load the magazine from Gamerzine's site with no luck. I finally used the rapidshare edition (Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever uploaded that!!) After downloading, I tried opening the magazine and reading it. Nice magazine btw, well worth getting even without the pet. No luck. I found the page with the pet code, but no box was showing up.

This was when I realized I didn't have Adobe 8, only 7. Sigh.

Soo, off to Adobe's site to upgrade.

An hour later, i'm trying to read the mag again and getting the "Oops something must be wrong" message I've heard soooo much about.

Well, something must have finally clicked because IE launched with a subscribe page that I filled out and I immediately received a pet code in my e-mail. The code worked perfectly the first time.

If you're getting a "code's been used" message, double and triple check your typing. My particular code had a lot of Q's in it and in the font my e-mail uses, they looked a lot like O's.

I kept getting the "Oops" error, and eventually got the code sent to my email. That code was in use, so I tried again (same email) until a second code was sent. That code happened to work.

Why it seems to store information about some people and not everyone is beyond me. :\

You're using an older version of Adobe Reader. Download Adobe 8.1 and youll be fine.

=/ no need to get angry over something they're giving away for free. The zine is actually pretty sweet and I'll probably be checking it out in the future, so even if i don't end up with one ah well.

They are not making you do anything. You choose to take them up on their free "gift", so put up with the BS associated with it, or stop trying.

Edit - Las, you'll need a whole load of them for this lol

I'm just concerned that the amount of Ceratodons are going to run out before 1) their hammered bandwidth allows my filled form to be processed, and 2) if that happens, I actually get sent a code that hasn't been used already.

I would love to sit back and be patient, waiting for bandwidth to get cleared up, but if that's going to cost me a chance at getting a minipet, then is there any other choice but to keep trying over and over again? No.

I kept getting failure messages on that flash form inside of adobe on my Mac, which had an up to date copy of Adobe on it. Had to upgrade adobe on my PC to do it, but finally got a good code from doing so.

Announcing a limit of 40k is just asking your servers to be overwhelmed.

Well now I can't even get the stupid boxes to appear. And yes, I do have a reason to be angry, there is absolutely no excuse for handing out the same code to more than one person. I just don't want them to have run out before I successfully obtain one of my own, and if I miss out because of all their mess-ups.. there is just no reason for that. None.

exactly -- I'd be patient if I knew I had one coming to me, but I've seen 20 pages in this thread fly by since I posted my first time. In those 20 threads I've seen people keep getting new pets hours after I keep getting sent the same damn used code. That's about 8 hours of additional pets being given out and I'm still locked out, despite trying different computers, redownloading, replying to the used code emails asking for a new one, submitted an support ticket to Anet, everything I can possibly think of.

At this point I think my only hope is that a kind soul will send me a good code. Because I'm at wit's end trying to do things the right way via a horrible system.

Keep trying - it's the same issue with trying to get onto the site (it's backlogged).

It took me about 30 times before it finally went through.

It's not a Vista problem; I'm running Vista and I'm able to enter the info.

You've gotta get the latest adobe reader (version 8). I've also heard it mentioned that you need the latest flash player.

Anyway, I finally got a code. After a number of times of getting that damn oops error, I finally got a webpage open up... but it had an error and didn't load (probably to do with their server being overloaded) so I just closed it without much thought and kept trying to fill in the form in the ezine. I figured afterwards that I probably had to do something on that webpage, and should have tried refreshing it, but I got a code emailed to me anyway after five minutes or so. I wonder if I should try get one for my brother and his girlfriend as well...

I've been trying since about 11am today and have yet to get anything to work. I've downloaded the PDF like 100 times and I keep getting "The file was damaged or is an unrecognized format, the file could not be repaired." I'm tired...

I saw this at work but didn’t have time to check it out, I came home and tried it, within 2 minutes I had my mini pet, after that I tried to get one for my second account but have been unsuccessful. Maybe I was lucky enough that when I entered my information the server was up for that minute or so, seem to be dead now; my guess is that if the site isn’t working nether is the form since it is being sent by their servers.

Well that shouldn't be happening. For all the people like you and me who are struggling with unnecessary crap, this is just unfair I've had enough. They've sent me the same code 5 times now regardless of my progressively nasty emails back to them with an attached screenshot showing that the code doesn't work for me. I even copy/pasted and still got the same result. I just want a code that works so I can get my mini and go to bed. Is that too much to ask? I would hope not.

I hope you aren't wondering why no one replied to you with a working code.
