Talk:Game updates/20070315

Ok. This means I can start looking for someone with the Asura minipet, and then mug them ask them nicely about the article before I'm able to buy a copy for myself on April 3rd >_> --Maoric 22:44, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh gods preserve us!! Is the code the same for all purchaser's of a specific publication (ie, "Fred's Gaming Magazine - April 2007" all have the same code), or is it a unique code generated for each individual magazine published? (ie, buy two copies of FGM April 2007, and get two different codes)? If it's the later, I sense a new scam coming. We're going to start seeing a flood of "WTS Asura Minipet Code" spamming its way on our All channels and ppl being sold bogus codes (ie, just random letters/numbers made to "look" like a valid code). Not happy days. :( --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:53, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, if the code was the same for all, there would be no way to ensure people actually bought the magazine, which is the whole point of this campaign. Someone would just post it on a message board and there you go: Free Asuras for everybody. Not likely. --84-175 (talk) 02:47, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, that would be my assumption too (likely that Anet buried into some aspect of the code that enables them to track which magazine a player got their code from, and so they can determine which magazines generated the most interest in GW), in which case, perhaps might be worthwhile adding something to the "common scams" page with the suggestion players only trade for the actual Asura mini-pet itself, rather than an "alleged unlock" code. Might wait and see if ppl start trying to sell codes first. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 03:03, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Why would anyone buy a code instead of the mini itself? No one is that stupid. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 04:29, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * hehe, we can but only hope! :) --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 04:41, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually, as I understand it, you can only link one code to your account and thus only sell one actual mini. You could, however, buy multiple magazines to get multiple codes and sell those. It would make sense. Also, "no one is that stupid." is a statement that I would never agree to without reserve. ;) --84-175 (talk) 06:41, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
