I've got the latest flash player and even tried that last hint that was given but it still won't pop up! Has the giveaway ended?

I tried for like an hour last night on my desktop computer, but there was a problem with the flash so the info box wasn't showing up. I tried it on my laptop and it worked on my first try. I did have to download the Acrobat reader 8 on my laptop though. After I entered my info, they sent me an email with the code in like 10 seconds. Code worked first try.

To those that didn't get one yet:
Don't worry keep trying.

Anyone have a fix for my problem: I load the pdf and I can't see the flash boxes.
I have run the update in (C:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flash) with no effect.
Any help is much appreciated.

You must have Adobe Reader version 8 or higher.

2 suggestions:
- try to update AR, the command in the Help menu;
- install AR8.

(or read a bit more this thread and find an alternate solution...)

Good luck with that!

Fixed it.
THought that Adobe Professional would be OK (I use it for work) but it turns out I needed AR8

Any way I can just get the page that has the link on it? 56k + this magazine = fail.

EDIT: Tried Goddess Elaine's way of getting codes before I posted, no such luck.

The form is embedded in the PDF file so that is doubtful.

I got mine about 10mins ago so it is still working.

What exactly are you putting in the message field and subject field? I've tried
Subject: Pet
and Message Body: Name & email
and Message Body: Name and email
and Message Body: Name
email
and Message Body: Name email

Thanks a lot, this worked for me. It needed to be done even though I had just downloaded the (supposedly) newest version of Adobe Reader.

Adobe Acrobat updates often.

Slightly off topic but...

Using http://secunia.com/software_inspector/

can help make sure you're fully updated for these sorts of things (as well as making sure your computer isn't at risk for other bits and other ickiness)

Edit: That URL has been approved by the Techsupport guy forums, which is an invaluable tool for some things.

I hope those who want mini's can still get them, they're rather nifty imho

I didn't send an email. I used the PDF file which is 'interactive' you fill in your name and email on it and then just hit send and you get an email with the code.

FWIW, the form asks for:

First Name
Last Name
Email

Don't know about subject - try leaving it blank.

There is no subject! Its a flash form that simply asked for your name, surname and e-mail address.

Other then that the form as a few tick box requesting what type of gaming platforms you like. It can be filled out in a matter of seconds.

Fair enough. I think the point is that some people are trying to post the details direct, instead of using the form. I'm pretty sure there was post indicating that method does work, way, way back in here somewhere.

Email I sent to them so I could get a pet for my BF (same household)

Took a few hours for them to email me back, but my BF now has a mini Ceratadon to date mine xD
(They also happened to send 3rd code to me o.O But i've offered it to Gaile Gray because she said a few pages back she hasn't been able to get one either )

Despite the initial crash and burn, everyone in my guild has managed to get a pet, the last one as recent as a few minutes ago. Good recovery, my compliments to Gamerzines for the dedication to help people sort out their key troubles.

I've finally got mine... Took about 8 hours for the code to be e-mailed to me, but it was well worth the wait.

It's so adorably cute!

Just got my minature, wasn't much trouble at all except I had to download Adobe Reader 8 and use my "junk" email because I don't want future spam.

Looks great, I'll either sell it (depending on its value) or add it to my HoM!

lol. Did you read only the first post or something?

Anyway a lot of GW player seem to be getting the mini, which is good. Compare this "give away" to the pc gamer and pc zone, gamerzine had done a better job than those 2 combine. The mag itself is pretty good as well.

hehe, yeah. my bad ^.^

i do agree with the fact that they did a better job. there may be only 40k of them, but a giveaway is a nice idea

@Lord Xeshm: Try to run the Flash update in your C:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flash directory.

Did that from earlier. Everything is up to date, is there a way to email the info so I can still get a code?

30? Must be nice, I got 1 and been trying to figure out how to get 3 more for wife and two sons. Can't get another however, get the 'already' message. :/

I got mine last night.
Came from work, updated Acrobat to v8 and dloaded the PDF.
Got my mini in less than 2 mins. I will stay with it, it looks cool and to be honest the magazine is not half bad, so I subscribed to it also.
GL all.

just so you know, i hate minipets A LOT, but ANet seems to enjoy the promo stuff
let's do it their way and make some easy cash, you know the greedy-greedy thingy you are not supposed to have ^^

(and i wont keep even one damn one for me)

fyi: those are pixels and got no real value, and a soul doesnt have one either, but gold has a lil use
so ivl game gold > irl soul

So you got 30 keys to sell? I'm not sure which is worse, actually doing that or blatantly bragging about it...

Agree. The use of PDF features is actually very interesting, it's a very fun layout. And I liked the content, though you can feel from the GW:EN review that it's a bit light (but I don't care as I'm only interested to play GW). But really great first issue, I'll personally keep my (free) subscription. Maybe even buy it if they continue in this direction and charge a small fee (compared to the money I'd have put in PC Gamer UK and PC Zone, it's be a much better investment!)

I'm a bit worried of the moment when we'll reached the "no more code available" in this thread, there'll be many GWGers disappointed But that's the price of rarity.

Well if the guy did effectively get 30 different and working keys, he can be report IF he's selling them (see what Gaile said earlier).
