I actually looked everywhere on GW's website and couldn't find how to subscribe to this newsletter. Could you please let me know how you did it? Thanks!

Might have been coincidental, but I started getting the newsletter after I first made a purchase in the online store.

Come on...
Despite being released after the Copperhead, it is still not as "cutting edge" as the Copperhead. Further, in a few weeks, even the Copperhead will fall FAR below this beast.

Razer Lachesis

Not to mention - not that I'm a hardware wiz - but I don't think wired mouses aren't really too "cutting edge" anymore.

Its really quite easy ^^ you jus go to the gw home page... and if your using fire fox (BALTHAZAR SMITE THEE if your not) and on the address bar, furthest to the right you should see an orange icon on the address bar. Jus click it! ull see

Thanks a lot for the info! I thought there was a proper newsletter emailed to us. But RSS feeds are good too!

Firefox and WizzRSS FTW!

The Newsletter was great, wish it had come with a btw we confirm you have qualified for the bonus pack.

Wish someone would explain to me whats so cutting edge about an imo inferior product or does cutting edge not have to mean better ?
Wireless mouse trackball or Keyboard ???
Ok it doesn't have a wire so what it needs batteries ? costs way more than the wired variety still wears out and needs replacing.

scratches head in puzzlement

I am still wondering what the "great rewards" will be for completing these missions.......

Maybe a title! lol
Maybe it will be a cutomised weapon of some sort

I'm guessing Togo's staff(with req 9 of all primary attributes),
Turai's blade/axe/hammer and Shield.
Sauls Bow or spear.
Gwens Battle flute(a flute wand so you can use the focus and the wand at the same time)

You can actually check yourself:

Marketing, I'd say. You wouldn't want to put "Buy this somewhat less inferior but still suitable and awesome mouse!" in the promo, eh?

It actually uh, isn't wireless. That was why I was confused at the slogan.

"free"... rofl

That $29 that I HAD to spend to get it doesnt count apparently.

Wireless doesn't mean better, you get better response from a wired mouse in my experience.

But you didnt spend that $29 on the BMP.

You spent it buying something else.

Mine, too. The new wireless mice are pretty good, though. No difference.

Still, the batteries weigh quite a bit and you just trade in the cord for having to recharge your mouse.

The pimped and hyped "gamer" mice produced by Logitech, Microsoft and Razor have cords not because they want to be "inferior", but because hardcore gamers prefer them to their wireless counterparts.


The GW mouse is too expensive for the GW logo. I am also not sure if it would count for the bonuspack at all.
