Game Fuel pets for all. Sort of.

Worried about your chances of winning one of the battlebot pets from the Game Fuel promotion? Worry no more! Over the weekend, a Mountain Dew representative stated on their forums that everyone who registers and participates in the promotion will get one. The pet is not one of the items you need to win from the tokens we've been grinding RL dailies for. If you don't care about winning the Razer or AlienWare products, you can stop grinding your Badges of Dew.
Pets codes have not been distributed yet, so don't panic if you haven't gotten one. Remember that these pets are only going into the game itself as of today, so even if they sent out the codes as soon as you registered, you wouldn't have been able to use it yet. Remember, this is unfortunately a US-only promotion. I can't condone people from other parts of the world trying to work around that, but... you're not going to see me trying to stop you, either. Enjoy your robot, (not really) everyone!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but where do you sign up to get those pets? I clicked on all the links in the post, but I didn't see anything that would let me sign up to get one.

The battle-bots are nice, but when can I get my Murkimus? It was supposed to come mid-May. We're past mid-May, so I'm hoping he comes in the mail today with the patch...
Rankin May 19th 2009 3:11PM
You can get your Murkimus today. I got mine in the mail when I logged in.
Yeng May 19th 2009 3:46PM
Yup, now a proud owner of Murkimus.
Kneeber May 19th 2009 2:13PM

Yeay! Pets for everyone! Oh wait, excpet for everyone except the us.
I really don't get why Blizzard don't do promotions for *everyone* when they have such a huge player base out side of America

Bliz does this alot in asia so now it's the US's turn

How are Mountain Dew sales there?
AyaJulia May 19th 2009 2:17PM
a) Laws. All the legal text that goes with any contest or other giveaway promotion? They have to do that for every country. Basically have to keep a legal expert on staff for every country you cover.
b) Blizzard isn't doing this, Mountain Dew is. Blizzard opens up North American contests to Canada (sans Quebec, see point A) almost without fail if they're the only one with their hands in it, but they're not. This is something Mt. Dew is doing with Blizzard's extensive coorperation.

It's not Blizzard, it's PepsiCo, and it probably has to do with legal/taxes/etc.
Delyriah May 19th 2009 2:19PM
im screaming with excitement!
Nuka May 19th 2009 2:19PM
Hypothetically, if I don't live in the US, but happen to manage to sign up and receive my code, that may be redeemable in other countries in the EU, yes?
scaris May 19th 2009 2:21PM
I don't believe so, I have heard the NPCs won't even spawn on non-us servers.
