Guild Wars 2

Ok so I’ve seen a lot of stuff on the forums lately about this mini. I don’t understand the big deal. Ever hear of Blizzcon? New pets being given out only for attendees of that convention? Gamescom? Pax? Every gaming convention has stuff they give out to people for attending. This has all been done before by every gaming company in the world.

What I don’t understand is, I’ve also heard ways of getting the mini aside from going to Germany. And since I wasn’t able to go to Germany I am in fact interested in how these are obtained so if anyone has any information as to how, aside from conventions, this mini is acquired I’d love to hear it.

Thanks.

You can check eBay. I heard one was for sale and sold for $700 USD. Otherwise, at this point it’s the convention.

Lol 700$ are you serious?

It’s eBay. people pay $50 for someone else’s half-eaten sandwich on there.

I expect the convention is over so if you didn’t get one of the few handed out there then something like eBay is the only way now.

Being Australian i gave up getting this stuff many years ago.

This is stupid. This website gave out TWO codes AND the pocket watch for free to whoever they deemed most worthy in their comments section. How are we supposed to get Mr. Sparkles if we don’t even hear about these competitions until they are over? Even google searching for Mr. Sparkles didn’t yield any competitions.

This competition went from Aug. 28-30th. 2 measly days!

MMO fanatics with tons of disposable income and nothing else to spend it on aren’t exactly a rare breed.

I went to the Guild Wars 2 Anniversary Bash in Seattle and got a code for a Mr. Sparkles mini pet as a gift for coming. So did about 200 other folks that were there.

Did your code work? Mine didn’t.
