Too busy filling out the stupid form over and over....

No I mean I haven't even been able to download the zine. I can't even load the website. I believe that there's so much WOW traffic that there won't be any issues with a GW minipet left.

Okay, I read the GW section... I'm not impressed.

I don't know, I had no problem with the WoW contest.

I think it's the GW crowd killing it. Or there's something very wrong with their distribution system (or a combination of both...)

Please note that the free Guild Wars pet for every reader is limited to the first 40,000 readers to register for the pet. We believe this is enough for every reader of MMOZine, but there are no guarantees.

We are experiencing unprecedented demand for this issue, which is great. We've glad you like the magazine. However, it does mean that some downloads may be slower than normal.

Please note that there is only one pet per reader for the Guild Wars giveaway. New keys are not being issued to readers with an existing key assigned.

UPDATE 2: We are doing everything we can to increase capacity for this magazine, but it is not possible to solve this problem instantly.

Emails with codes and confirmation of subscriptions to the magazine are also being delayed because of the extremely high demand. Again, thank you all for your interest. Please be patient.

From the site, just to give folks a heads up

I'm starting my pdf download now, let's.. hope it works, if not it's all right too.

I can't sit around all day waiting for someone to sort out my code.

RL calls. I fully expect to get shafted with this.

I would hope they make good on replacement codes. It's not our fault we're getting codes already in use.

Spazzer · Oct 17, 2007, 09:12 PM // 21:12

Ah, I just read Gaile's mention that there will be more Ceratadon's in the future. That puts me at ease a bit.

I'm the world's biggest dinosaur nut. I haven't been this excited since I first entered the Ascalon Foothills in '05.

I've given up for now. I'm hoping there will be a hundred emails waiting for me when I get home... maybe one will have a working key.

Oukanna · Oct 17, 2007, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Ok i managed to get it downloaded and i happily put my name and email in there ^^
I got the code sent to me and i put it into gw and it said this code is already in use 0_0 I thought that was odd, so i tried again and after a few attempts i managed to get the mini pet :-)

Though it has many problems with the pdf like the embedded flash does not appear so you cant enter your detailed half the time :-S
I do not know much about pdf files and flash things so i don't know how to fix that kind of thing, all i know is i had a window pop up saying would you like to view the multmedia/interactive blah blah blah..you need to tick yes otherwise i notice it wouldnt show and if that box doesnt show up first time the form also wont show!

Is it just me or was this mini pet giveaway all a bit secret??
I have not heard anything of it until today when i saw one of my alliance members with one ??

Not silly at all. I've never sold a mini; never will. But I'd like to have one, too. And no, I don't.

OMG I FINALLY GOT IT!!! wooooooooooooooot!

I just reverted back to adobe reader v. 8 and it worked 1st time

Thanks to all of you who offered advice & info

Gl too to those who have yet to get their mini.

Think this mag deserves a read now

King Kong · Oct 17, 2007, 09:18 PM // 21:18

i got mine after trying for about an hour! tried to get my dad to get me another code for father in law, who's in hospital but he wrote his email wrong

So somewhere out there, someone has got a mini pet that will never get used

JeniM · Oct 17, 2007, 09:19 PM // 21:19

It keeps telling me i have already regestered so it's either :
a) I'll get lots of emails (as i keep trying) with codes and will share with guildies (if thats allowed (no profit just sharing))
or and i'm betting on this option
b) Someone had the great idea of making it check IP's and as i'm in a block of flats i think i share main IP with 755 other students some if just ones done it then poof goes my mini

Miss Puddles · Oct 17, 2007, 09:19 PM // 21:19

lol even gaile can't get one XD
use the force only for good.

I had a mini bone thingy (whiptail something?) that I got from the birthday, but I wanted to get an in game gift for a friend, and needed to raise the funds for it, I got to spread the love that mini pet gave, and I got a Temple Guardian from my best friend Jase, and he's not going anywhere.

I've always been a fan of dinosaurs, so this one is definitely right up my alley

How did you get more than one code? I can't even get one without being told i already have one

I think that's what they done, cause i couldn't get another after doing it

Sakkaku Kaikou · Oct 17, 2007, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Finally! I got mine! Not sure what happened, but I finally got a working code. I shall treasure this minipet forever and ever...especially since it took me, what, 6 hours to get? ><

Oofus · Oct 17, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

I only submited 1 request for a code but for some reason I got three seperate emails, at the same address, each with a unique code. I'd give the other 2 away but I am not certain which 1 I used.
