Netherlands PC Gameplay #137/#138 28.08.07 / 27.09.07
alright, I got both editions. there was a competition in #137 to win one of the 1000 miniatures the gave away. that one actually should have ended 2 days ago. I've heard nothing of the end results of the dutch competition, has anyone else?
also, in #138 it has nothing related to the competition or results, only a review. (82/100) Future User Future Signature.png 09:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
So are you saying, unlike Americans guaranteed getting their Destroyer in the PC Gamer Guide they have on sale, we in Europe are not guaranteed a minipet, only entry into a draw? By the way, the PCGamer info is wrong on the GW site, as #179 is still on sale, #180 (November issue) is not out yet. I feel Europe is getting a raw deal if this is the case. josəph 11:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
It should be out now, it is running late. As for the american guild wars special, well low and behold it arrived today in my branch of Borders in Bristol as a US import, so it is perfectly possible to buy it in the UK. --LemmingUser Lemming64 sigicon.png 16:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
to answer you, joseph, I'm not sure about all of europe, but in the netherlands you had to answer a quiz question. the people who got it right then went through a lucky draw to see who gets one of the 1000 mini pets they give away. nothing is guaranteed. it is pretty unfair compared to the american give away.
anyway, all that aside, still hoping to hear from pc gameplay soon to see if I'm one of the winners. Future User Future Signature.png 18:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Future. I see they have now added a disclaimer to their page, confirming the 1000 limit on pets given away, so I won't be buying. josəph 01:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
so is that saying the 1000 weren't even just for the netherlands? but for all of europe? that's a disappointment, haha. Future User Future Signature.png 07:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it reads that way, but that makes it "very limited" as it was in the Far East, so it's reasonable from that point of view. I just wished they had make it clear from the outset. Now we should push for a 'destroyer specific' magazine/code! LOL josəph 08:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Anyone already won something?[edit]

Just curious :-) I joined the PCGameplay (NL) contest, but didn't hear anything. Mistress of Trade 07:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

today I got mail from the dutch contest, and I won. Shiroken Assassin. It came to me as a surprise since I had given up all hope and forgot about this contest. Still fun that I won something though :P together with a letter there was a credit card shaped plastic card with the mini pet access key on the back. nice.

Wow, didn't believe it, but I also got a card in the mail! Also an Shiroken Assassin. Very nice miniature. :-D Mistress of Trade 18:45, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
GZ Future! I didn't bother buying a magazine myself. (although my son did) Nice pet for you. josəph 20:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

New Giveaways[edit]

There were some more golden mini pet cards given away in christmas lotteries (for example the one from Wartower.de). Are they in this statistics or do they count for themselfes, which would mean, that there were more rare minis in the game then Wiki says? Badde 15:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
