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.

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

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'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:

How can I see if I’ve qualified for the Bonus Mission Pack?

Check your account through the PlayNC Interface using the following steps: Go to www.plaync.com, click Account and enter your PlayNC account name and password. Click Manage and then Billing Summary to see what you have spent over the last six months.

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.

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

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.
