    Nice informative article, though poorly edited. "TSI modules"? Really?

    I look forward to getting my horse...I'd be happy to have either one.

    Good article, but not as good as the knowledge that I'll have a pony waiting for me when my number's called!

    Keep in mind, PCGamer has a horrible track record with reviewing MMOs. SWTOR was listed as one of there top 100 games of all time. A great review n PCGamer is often the kiss of death for an MMO

    I seem to recall that they gave Hellgate: London a very high score. Ouch.

    I'm glad I didn't try Hellgate until last year. It's now free to play and recently re-installed it. It's pretty good, and wish they would make a second as matter of fact. I just can't get into Borderlands the same I did Hellgate Global.

    The article itself in my personal opinion is not good. As for the historical accuracy of said quote, No comment.

    Ummm the Beta key is a bonus and you will have access when they decide to let people in :-) You have the key to the lock but the door is still nailed shut. Wait until they pull the nails out...

    Please do not blame PC Magazine. They have nothing do to with our Beta save for partnering to bring you this promotion. Closed Beta, at the time of this post, has not yet started. Everyone who has entered into Beta will be phased in through the course of Beta, once it begins.

    LOL, nice bringing that up. I recall that PC Gamer gushed over SWTOR and said there would be a follow up review in the future...which I don't recall them ever doing.

    Also, my key from the Feb 2013 issue of PC Gamer doesn't work....peachy :(

    This is a known issue. Try placing a space before the key in the input field, some have reported that this worked for them. Let me know if it works for you too.

    Well after adding my pc gamer key I now see "PC Gamer (Pale Horse) " so i would presume that means I got the white horse and if you see "PC Gamer (Stormraider Horse)" then you got the black one.

    Someone else would have to confirm though.

    Where do you see this? I have looked, but though my key was accepted, I see no mention of a horse anywhere.

    Well hubby asked me to check my account and after checking I see, PC Gamer (Stormraider Horse), so guess it is confirmed.

    I have a couple questions, if they could be confirmed at all...

    If you're one of the many people who went ahead to try and get both mounts (as I did, being the collector I am) and no doubt got duplicates thanks to some fun RNG of the codes, will the account still limit the horses to only one of each type per character/account even if you have say multiple Stormraider Horse keys locked in?

    In my effort to get both horses I got a Stormraider first, and then in an attempt to get the Pale I got three other Stormraiders before I got it, so I have four Stormraiders and one Pale keys locked into the account. Frankly, I'd rather not have an eyesore of three more of the same mount on my account, so I'm curious if it'll just wipe out the duplicates (or if they can be removed by account experts and possibly given away to someone else by them).

    That said, my other question which somewhat relates to this one: are mounts character bound (every character gets their own one of each horse/founders mounts) or account bound (all pooled together and can be accessed by all your characters)?

    I did the same as you, except my luck was a bit better. I went Pale Horse, Pale Horse, Stormraider Horse. ;)

    It would be nice if I could remove the extra Pale Horse, but it would also be funny if I ended up getting a duplicate mount because of it. It's not as though a duplicate would be of any use, of course.

    Aye, if you got duplicates it will show them in your key list on the redeem page...a family member of mine was lucky and got one of each in a row, so only had to use two codes...I myself on the other hand went through five before getting the two mounts.

    Personally I'd rather not see them wasted and have the three extras removed and say...put into a pool of giveaways on the forum or something, or at the very least, removed so it doesn't end up giving me pointless extras.

    Since there is a free 14 day trial for PC Gamer.. you can basically get this for free if redeem then cancel. Seems kinda silly.
