Third Years
so sometime in late april my elem should be turning 36 o-o'. any ideas or news on the third year minis :O?-Rawr raven raven 04:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * My guild leader's character recently turned 3, and he CLAIMS he got a mini panda. He did show our guild the panda, but we got no screenshots to confirm if he had gotten it for his third birthday, unfortunately. 68.187.16.3 05:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Gabe
 * His character turned 3? The game wasn't even released until April 28th, still over a month off...and didn't people who had beta chars and such lose them after the beta was over? DKS01 06:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. Your GL is shooting for some massive Epeen points. Call him out on it from us, please.- Am er  ic  an  Wr  ath // Ta  lk  06:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * (Response to myself)What's more, I seriously doubt Anet would ever release a mini that rare to the masses just for a birthday. The reward for playing GW for 3 years is definitely not worth a pet which currently costs around 1500 ectos. That would crash the market in ways I shudder to think about.- Am er  ic  an  Wr  ath // Ta  lk  06:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No way he got a panda.. Anet wouldn't ruin the economy like that. -{[ PUL ]}- 07:29, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Confused
wait what? http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Frog_%28miniature%2975.36.46.3 07:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That doesn't appear to exist. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What's so confusing about it? -- Ab.Er.Rant [[Image:User Aberrant80 Sig.png]] (msg Aberrant80) 07:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * oops, i fixed it.--75.36.46.3 07:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * So she has a frog. Cool. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * but why is it not mentioned in this page?--75.36.46.3 07:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, we didn't know about it. Gaile doesn't talk to us. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * i am not good at wiki so can you add it?--75.36.46.3 07:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I took care of it. Thank you for letting us know! [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's possible, that it'll be the 3rd year green mini. We'll have to wait and see. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 09:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

WTF? O_o It looks just like the frog under the tree near old Xunlai Storage area in LA, or the frog in the bog area of Scoundrel's Rise, or many other frogs everywhere in Tyria. Are you sure this is real? O_O RoseOfKali 19:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * [[Image:RoseOfKali_Frog.jpg|200px]] See? I have one too! XD  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 19:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Mini Cave Spider
Someone in Kamadan had one, so I took some screenies (w/permission ^^). Cropping them, will post again in a moment. X Deity X  19:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What rarity is it? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 19:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure- I'll ask in a moment. Here- [[Image:minicavespider.jpg]]. X Deity X [[Image:xdeityx.png]] 19:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I was told it is white. X Deity X [[Image:xdeityx.png]] 19:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I didnt get a chance to take a picture but there was a miniature muursaat in temple of balth a few mins ago.

Celestial rat icon
Yellow Icon + Yellow Background = what is that? &mdash; Poki#3, 21:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you're right... undoing. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Pulpulpullie reverted it back (but added in the Celestial Pig icon too). Anyone has any idea how can we make the icon visible and keep the transparent png? &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 19:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrap the image with s that specify a different background?  I think a gray would work best, something like: (top uses #999, bottom uses #666)


 * The title of the image column would have to be shortened to "Icon", otherwise the bg color fills the whole width of the cell for some reason. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As at least a temporary fix, I'll add a background to the images since they're only on the Miniatures page anyway.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  23:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, that didn't work. But a center tag makes it look less hideous.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  23:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Third Year Pets
What a fucking Ripoff
 * They only made Mad King the green because Gaile Gray wanted it. She already has an exclusive miniature, but they felt they needed to ruin things for everyone one last time in her name. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, cause not getting a Mad King mini just TOTALLY ruins things for everyone. I mean, I don't know HOW I'll cope with maybe not getting one. Oh, wait, I'll cope the same way I coped with not getting a bone dragon-by realizing that it's only a little decorative item that DOESN'T DO OR AFFECT A GODDAMN THING. Yeah, somehow, I think if I can do it, you'll struggle through it as well. Be brave. DKS01 22:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? No one wants Mad King, it's stupid. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I want a mad king tbh. Lord of all tyria 22:35, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * By the transitive property, that makes you "No one." Congratulations. [[Image:Ruricu-sig.png]] ( Talk • Contribs) 22:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I will pay the princely sum of 10g for one. Lord of all tyria 22:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have 17 charaters on two account (+4 char on my storage), and none of them ever had a gold nor a green miniature as birthday present. My oldest one will have it's third present in about a month, i wonder what it will be this time. TulipVorlax 05:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Irukanji. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, i'm wrong, it will be in two month. Grrr! Lol. TulipVorlax 05:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

anyone else think mini glint would have been cool :D?--Simpson man 16:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Only if it was larger than the player. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't be a "mini" anymore :) Big Bow 17:54, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Gallery suggestion
The gallery has grown to be pretty big. I was thinking that it would be good to move it to a sub-page (like Miniature/Gallery) and just link to it from here, similar to the Hero armor galleries. &mdash; Poki#3, 09:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Different suggestion: nuke the gallery completely? The list of miniatures already include images, is on the same page, and in fact is right above it.  Having the gallery seems unnecessarily redundant in my opinion. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 09:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's also a possibility. Miniatures look exactly like the mobs themselves, and we have pictures of those already. (though some are still a bit low on quality, like the Black Beast) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 10:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Axe the gallery, it's just extra load time. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What Poki said - they're the exact same model/skin, just reduced in size. People can go to the creature's page to see what it looks like.  Hey, that means I can delete all the gallery images!  Yay!  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 16:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK then. I'm wielding a Article Destroyer Axe of Galleryslaying! (and placing delete tags on images, though I'd leave them around for a few days in case someone would like to do something with them...) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fine, I'll allow them to escape my delete-mallet for a while, then. :P &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * To be clear, I think the icons in the miniature list should be kept. I was only advocating the gallery itself to be axed. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 21:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

PC Gamer codes
Sometimes, I see some of those special Asura mini-pet code magazines from 2007 offered on ebay (PC Gamer, some European mag, etc). Are these codes still valid at all? 151.213.191.91 18:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If the magazine is sealed, I don't see any reason why not. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * kk, thanks for the speedy response. Just wasn't sure if they had some expiration date. Guess I have to decide if I want to pay money for one or not... hmm, more beer or an Asura... beer is winning atm ;p   151.213.191.91 18:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Ahem
The bug is about it affecting several things. The part about Leadership is an exception to the bug. --- -- (s)talkpage 22:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
