He may not be pretty, but that's NOTHING like the yeti model. I mean, really, if you're going to complain, at least be accurate.

Like regifting, perhaps? I think we've all heard by now; there is really only ONE fruitcake left in the world, being passed from house to house each Christmas at the speed of FedEx.

By saying it "means" something, I meant that if pets were customized you could tell by the fact that somebody has a pet that he has been around for at least 1 year, which means it is likely that he's not a total newb. It's kinda like a title that you have to earn. But since pets can be traded when I see somebody with a pet all I think is: "Pffft ..... yet another farmer with too much money. Maybe he even bought the gold on Ebay."
There may not be too many year old newbs running around loose, but I've seen and played with planety of noobs that have been here since beta. Given the choice, I'll take the newbie who bought a pet because they though it was cute.

Pets, title, fame; whatever. None of these define skill.

EDIT: Whoa; lag ftw...

On-Topic: About the mission to retrieve your giant. Does it mean the pet will be an additional reward to players who buy PCGamer now? Or is it going to be a standard reward for anyone?

And as we know all items(including money) will be wiped after the event, so feel free to buy the mini pet i would say, as it is as lasting as the gold you bought it with.
Exactly. People, you can't get "scammed" for money you can't keep anyway! LOL

Minus Sign, the Gray Giant is a mini-pet only available through PC Gamer.

the Pc gamer will be out sept 19th from what i understood. Also Knightsaber Sith, you say that a euro web site says that everyone gets a Grey Giant, does that mean their is no point in buying the PC gamer, or do you mean everyone that buys it gets it? You lost me.

I meant that every magazine that's publishing a minipet code in the world(which is America, Canada, Europe) is giving Grey Giants. So everyone gets Grey Giants and no one has to whine "but his is prettier than mine?!".

Just for the record, it's spelled "Gray Giant."

No biggie.

Ok, my understanding of this is that the key will give a quest of which the pet is a reward. My question is whether the quest will be available in the game itself, because Australia is quite far behind magazine wise. If we are lucky we might get it before the release of the actual game. It would be nice to know, in the mean time, whether we will be able to get the quest and the pet then, or whether it is only a beta weekend thing.
