What do small countries get?

Asians got their cool minis - kanaxai, panda island
big European countries like Germany England etd. got their Vizu/Shriokoen/Zhed/oni/naga/yeti/grawl
Then amerikans got the oportunity too, same happened to holland now
BUT Bulgaria and other small countries never seem to get some kwl stuff?
why do only big contries get minis?

Slovenia is insanely small. Yet we got the Grey Giant a few months ago.
Does that make the problem that Bulgaria doesn't get anything smaller?
No.
It's just a a bit of advice not to generalize too much.
Express your negative view on the fact that Bulgaria didn't get anything nice - but stay off the general statements. It just makes it easier to take your view less seriously otherwise.
And being specific makes it easier for the A.Net team to react if they know which countries specifically feel left out.



(I actually can't believe I am so nice to the guys at A.Net.
Must be something I ate.)

Erm we got Grey Giants like a year ago -_-

But Reflect a few weeks ago, there was a "World one" magazine, where you could get a free pet!
They looted away 40.000 pets!

And the minipet giveaway was from PC game play (its a magazine)

those pets didn`t came to Bulgaria.
All we got was the mini Asura which is not something worth as vizu ,zhed etc.

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!

ahem...

Aren't gaming magazines global? I know that almost all magazine promotions were in magazines that should be available just about everywhere.

That was a YEAR ago?!?!?
Jeez - time sure flies!
I thought it was a few months ago!

Yeah the reason why these are worth so much is simple.
Because they are RARE.
If they would start appearing all over the place - they would lose their value.
Besides if you look at how many were given out and how many people wanted them from that country - (I am just making the % up) - that's like Bulgaria getting 5 minis for the whole country.
The chances of getting them are SO small that you are better of by just saving and just buying it.

I am all for saying that everyone should have the chance to get minis. But to say that you get nothing because you only get cheap stuff - might be a bit stretching it.

Correction to Original Post, not all Asian country gets the panda and oni.... We get nothing! We only get those release in the American version of PC Gamer, (at 4x the price because of exchange) then do we stand a chance of grabbing one, that's 3 of those out of the many (the grey giants, the asura and the destroyer), and its sometime very hard to find a copy when there are freebies on them. otherwise we SIT HERE AND DROOL....


Please make all mini pet release on American version of PC Gamer! thank you very much!

Another funny thread.



If you think that Bulgaria is small, have a look at this. Now evil A-Net, can I have my luxemburgish district and my luxemburgish mini-pet published in my luxemburgish gamer magazine that does not even exits?!!?

Respect the small countries and free minis for everyone!!

Thank you very much.

indeed, they might be a big more expensive than your local magazine but you can still get them if you try.

besides, the purpose of giving away minipets in magazines etc isn't to make a few people in certain selected countries insta rich but to promote sales of both guild wars and the magazine itself. if you're just interested in these pets to get virtual money you might as well pay ebay a visit....

Advertiseing not to much of a player base in the small countries and its all about the advertiseing.

"The Shaft"!!!

J/K... I feel for you guys. This is a global game. Items and contests should be as well. I understand the legality issue in some places, but there are better ways, like the in game scavenger hunt for the Black Moa chick.

I bet that some of these magazines approach Anet, in the advertising sense, to increase sales.

Don't expect them to change the way they do business. They have shown time and time and time again that they will take ALL approaches.

Hopefully, the tone of my post is understood. I am agreeing with the OP in that it is crappy the way that some places are left out.

mini-pets again? i don't understand the point. these mini-pets are useless, and yet people somehow feel shafted if their region doesn't get one, let alone get one themselves. if they gave some sort of in-game benefit, i could see the point of complaining. but as they are now, they just take up precious storage space.

Who cares?

Magazine minipets are worthless anyway.

If you were a ice cream salesman would you setup your sales stand in a remote alley or in the middle of the town square?

No, my country didn't get any either (unless you bought imported magazines).

Someone knows if it has given out some sweden-themed minipet? =)

Apparently the OP and many many others. There have been countless threads on this topic. Anytime you limit what one group of people have, there is going to be complaining about it. Sure they take up space, but it still adds enjoyment to those people that want them.

We have an small inside joke that if we fail or get wiped out its because the monk didn't have their mini-pig out. It is the most worthless of mini's yet my guild has turned it into something fun.

austrailia is a continant/Country...they don't get many promotions so size of country is not the issue. maybe population wise maybe.

does your country have a pc magazine?(My country doesn't but we get english ones) that may have somthing ot do with it + it would take alot of organising if anet asked to team up[ with every magazine in most of the countries...dont' you agree?

I am exhausted with all these "Anet hates my country" threads.

Small minds see only small issues. They fail to grasp all the legal and/or financial issues that may prevent Anet/NCSoft from offering a contest or giveaway.

It seems all you care about is getting a super rare mini pet so you can sell it for gold.

i think is simple bacause anet didnt find any partnet to distribuite the codes.
