    So I got my copy of the magazine today the bad news there is no indication in the article about beta or release...the good news they announced both the Devoted Cleric and the Great Weapon Fighter. The other thing I can't find a place to redeem my code but it could be because its not the 8th (if anyone has any thoughts on this let me know). I also checked the pcgamer website like they mention but theres nothing there either. There are other tid bits in there as well.

    Edit: I finally manged to find a place to enter it ...however I have no idea if it took...

    Edit 2: also these appear to be beta key codes as thats where you enter it in.

    Just a thought: The code might apply after the game gets released....?

    Let me know if Google (Play) works. If it does, I'm personally downloading it from there for my digital copy.

    So, I have seen the "Eye-patch Fighter" cover and the "Cleric" cover but no "Drow Fighter" and "Elvish Rogue." Are they only releasing two covers today or has anyone seen the other two covers?

    Just reread the PC Gamer Magazine website. Only 2 of the 4 covers will be on news stands. Cleric and Eye-patch fighter. All four are going to be released to subscribers only of which 1 will be sent per subscriber.

    Bummer... really wanted the elvish rogue.

    So if I buy the magazine from a specific vendor, do I have a 50% chance of getting the mount I want? Or does each cover have a specific mount?

    did anyone else notice that the code for the mount acts like a beta key? instead of access beta button now it says download. they are greyed out but still. even the wording after you enter the code makes it sound like a beta key.

    "If you have activated your Access Key, you will be notified when testing begins and will receive instructions for downloading and logging into the game.

    If you do not yet have a Perfect World account, please create one and you will be automatically added to the pool of potential Neverwinter Test candidates. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to get the latest news and be the first to know when the next phase of testing starts! "

    EDIT: NVM, I was right.

    from my email I got.

    "As an additional bonus, every issue contains a unique key code that can be redeemed to randomly receive one of two exclusive mounts as well as Neverwinter Beta access! Click here for more details and see screenshots of the exclusive in-game mounts. "

    To check if you have activated the beta key:

    Click on

    https://my.perfectworld.com/nw/redeemkey

    Just below text box:
    Neverwinter [Status]: Accepted

    means beta key activated.

    I wouldn't read TOO much into this. My guess is that it will eventually allow you phased access to the beta but they can still issue different classes of keys to allow other 'immediate' access.

    The magazine does say something on the line of "you can ride your horse when you gain access to the beta" (and I am paraphrasing here - the magazine isn't in front of me) but I didn't take it as meaning it was a head of line beta access opportunity.

    I would love to be wrong though :)

    But yeah - the email does seem to imply that it is a beta key. *shrug* oh well, whenever. Obviously the sooner the better.

    Beta has not started yet, so there is no immediate access to beta.

    I didn't mean to imply that it had. Just meaning to say that when it does they will obviously have ways to throttle how many people they let in at a time.

    Hope that answers your initial questions. I'm sorry I couldn't say anything earlier until cleared by the CM!

    If I purchse two issues from the news stand, and put in both codes, will I get both mounts?
    Are these mounts a per character unlock or will it be account wide for all characters?

    Random means just that random. We don't have info if it's one character or one account yet.

    after much trying last night, fury over came me and i imbeded several items in my dry wall.

    Do i have to have the corresponding tablet to download that version of the digital copy. Because i dont have any tablets and couldnt get it sent to my PC. What makes this more difficut was i live in the UK and could get them delivered here after trying.

    I really want a beta horsey and chance to get a key. If any of my American counter parts is willing to buy and send me a copy i will be more than happy to stick some dosh in your pay pal account to do this. Or if any one has any ideas how i can get a copy through normal means when i get hope ill super glue my keyboard back together and i will try ordering it.

    thanks

    ...

    Which fury? The bi tch Queen, Auril or the beast Malar?

    I would try to stay away from all three. They are bad news, worst of all Auril...

    p.s. sorry couldn't resist!
