If you don't get that when you type "/bonus" AND the game box says it includes the Fire Imp, then you need to contact support. You can also check the in-game store before going in the game proper, and selecting the Fire Imp. It should say "already purchased" when you bring up that page, if it is included on your account.

I haven't used the code on the disc yet because I'm undecided about returning it. The box DOESN'T say I get the pet is the thing -- but recent ads for the Game of the Year Edition says that edition does include it. Does that make sense?

Right now I'm just playing the trial, I still have some time left on it. Is NCsofts customer support friendly? I might try to contact them somehow and try to get straight answers, and then go to the Gamestop and exchange the game for the right one (they'll have to order it, since this was all they had.)

Aaargh my head hurts.

The Fire Imp is available for anyone that doesn't have it on their account for $4.99 from the in-game store.

To be honest, it isn't that big of a deal, but will make it faster to level up characters. You lose it for each character when they hit level 20. I bought the add-on for my oldest account and used it on two characters I re-rolled, but mainly it is for my perma-Pre Ele to play with now and then in The Northlands of Pre-Searing. Makes killing the bosses a bit faster, although not always. Also helpful when I'm helping lower level players learn the game.

gungo,

If the box doesn't say "Includes the BONUS Fire Imp Pet!" along the top of the front cover, then it is probably an older version of the Game of the Year Edition. I'd return it and either get a credit towards the Trilogy Edition (comes with all 3 campaigns, the Fire Imp and the hero M.O.X.) or have them order the newer edition. Or get a refund and buy someplace else or online from GoGamer, Newegg or Amazon.

Sucks you'd have to wait longer to play, so there is that. The Trilogy is a better deal all around, unless you got a super low price (like $5) on the GotY Edition.

And if Gamestop gives you any grief about returning it (as you haven't activated the keycode yet) you should remind them they shouldn't be selling outdated stock. Unless it was in the closeout section. The Gamestop stores around here are still trying to sell old copies at $40 per campaign!! Which is why I never shop there.

How much is Nightfall going for these days? Its the only version I don't have and I can't find the damn thing anywhere around here.
Also, I'm sitting on a laptop watching SNL, and too lazy to log into the desktop to log into the store.
