Well, it says within the next 10 days and it ain't 10 days yet...patience my friend =]

Once Mini-Kuunie is implemented (that is, added to the code), then the next time you log in, you'll have the wee beastie in your inventory. (I imagine we'll have an update note to say "Added Collector's Edition Thank You Gift" or somesuch thing.

Like a birthday gift, you simply double-click to display it in any Explorable Area. You can move the miniature from character to character using your Xunlai storage.

The miniatures cannot be killed, do not render damage, have no impact on skills, and will follow you like the loyal buddy that they are.

Thanks that has cleared everything up for me.

personally, i think anet solve the CE issue well..kudos anet..=D..but i will still go for SE anyway coz i have no money for it..=P

Imo it was a good solution; think about it, they had angry masses who preordered CE's, they add a little gift, they make them all happy! Perfect business solution, all those who were threatening to cancel their CE's and decrease Anet's revenue are now pleased.

As for those who say it's unfair, guess what? It's not. I paid more than you did for my CE, and I had to wait a week later than to play the game, I deserve a little something extra in return.

TY Anet, and I can't wait to get my CE, which should be tomorrow according to EB Games

.

ps. plz don't customize it. I'd never sell mine, but it would just lose it's value if it became a customized plain old blue item, like the preorder weapons.

Xenrath · May 05, 2006, 08:48 AM // 08:48

Also, I think this makes up for not having something for all your chars (like the Divine Aura for the first CE) so this is a thumbs up, nice

fRag_Doll · May 05, 2006, 08:55 AM // 08:55

Sonova crap! That's some super-sweet news. I only got my CE last night, I went down to EB to tell them to "stick my order for CE and just give me a regular edition", but lo-and-behold they had it there waiting for me.

Now I'm getting paranoid, I've had so much good luck the past 2 days I just know somthing really really bad must be about to happen.

Big_Iron · May 05, 2006, 10:55 AM // 10:55

The pic of the dragon looks really cool. It makes me feel a lot better about the CE edition.

Raiin Maker · May 05, 2006, 10:57 AM // 10:57

i have already added my key.. do i still get one?

jmj102 · May 05, 2006, 11:15 AM // 11:15

Yes you still get one. On another note, gamestop ce's have shipped now. And we get a free tshirt for the wait!

Pi_Numurian · May 05, 2006, 11:16 AM // 11:16

I dont care what pet I get it will be a while though

Nightrain · May 05, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

I think its a great idea! Upset people are happy. What couldnt be better than that. So what if they sell them...its their choice. You can sell ur minipets, so why not this one. I just started playing gw a couple months ago...then the minis came out. My girlfriend wanted one so bad. I went and farmed and farmed and farmed till could offord one. So what...whoa its so much money, someones rich...I earned my damn money and bought what i wanted. If someone wants to buy it then they should be allowed to. Why not? The people who sell are only rich if they can find a buyer. And that buyer wants a dragon! No one is gonna sell one for uber cheap...so the buyer cant turn around and make millions off of it. In that case then the person who is purchasing the dragon WANTS it. Why not let them buy it? Sounds to me that people who are against this are just jealous that they dont have a dragon...or the opportunity to make money. Other wise why is it even an issue. the people who are gonna sell for a lot of money can only do so if their is someone who is willing to pay. By not allowing them to sell it your taking away from people who cant afford to go and buy a CE...those who are willing to farm and farm and sell and sell until they can get a dragon with ingame money...No loss to the purchaser financially...and they got a mini pet that they wanted. You have to seriously want that dragon desperately to pay that much gold for it...and in paying that much gold for it there really isnt much market to resell it. So profit is truly only made once and therefore the person who wants it really really badly will have it, and wont have "much" chance to resell for profit.

I SAY LET THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY IT BUY IT FOR GW GOLD!!! WHAT TRUE MARKET IS THERE FOR RESALE VALUE ANYWAYS...THEY PAID A MILLION N SOME JUST TO GET IT...HOW ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE A PROFIT? LET THE PEOPLE WHO DESPERATELY WANT A FLYING DRAGON MINI BUY THE THING...THEY PROB DONT HAVE THE REAL MONEY TO PAY $70 FOR THE CE EDITION...SO WHY ALL THE FUSS

WHY CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG LOL

agentnull · May 05, 2006, 04:23 PM // 16:23

It baffled me... all the replies "countering" my argument by saying "there's no market for selling it" or "nobody would be stupid enough to sell it," especially when some had already said they'd sell it, and now auctions are set up. Goodbye, economy. Have a safe trip, but come back soon, please.

The economy always bounces when something new enters the game. there's nothing new with this. The craze settle down just like it does with every other new hot item that gets put in the game. And the only way this would affect you is if:
1. you're getting CE and you're planning on selling it.
2. you dont have CE and you're planning on buying it.

if you dont fit under any of those catagories, then there's nothing for you to worry about. it's not gonna change anything else in the game very much at all, and it'll disappear just as fast as it comes.
now, on the other hand if you do fit under one of those, then it's your decision to be affected by this, and you shouldnt be blaming on anyone else but yourself.

I will be getting a dragon mini, and the only thing its gonna change in my game is the fact that I will have a cool new collectors pet.

If it's jealousy that drives your argument, then theres nothing left to argue.

Lol @ cynics who say that my minidragon is the equivalent of ebay gold; saying that just because I bought a CE, then I'm going to get a minidragon that I can sell for hundreds and hundreds of plat.

To them I say: AS IF! My mini dragon is NOT for sale, and never will be!

My dragon > all the gold in the world.

/QFT

mine is for as long as i play as many chapters as i play

Mordakai · May 05, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Arggh!!! I am soooo sick. I want that stupid dragon!

Is there an expiration date? If I buy the CE in July, will I still get the dragon?

As for selling the money for Gold: so? Really, so what?

This Dragon does NOTHING, so the person getting the dragon gets nothing.

The person who now has a zillion gold: woopee. Now they can buy all the FoW armor they want, which again, has NO EFFECT on the game!

That said, why do I want a dragon? Because it looks pretty sweet. I've almost convinced myself the CE is worth another $70....

Logic lesson...

E = every person
N = no person
X = one specific person
A = an adjective

"If E is A, then X is A" is true.
"If X is not A, then N is A" is false.

It doesn't matter whether you will sell the minidragon. It matters that you and every other CE owner can, and at least one will.

Addition: Do you even know what cynic means?

Yeah, man... at this point in my life I sure as heck know what a cynic is.

Hugs n' kisses @ agentnull! Enjoy GW:F!
