    Sounds interesting, but not sure why there are so many complaints. Europeans, ok, i can see the $16-$18 or so shipping fee being an issue. Understandable. But the pet (like any other pet) does absolutely nothing. It does not attack, it does not buff, it doesn't even die when you die. It is not a benefit, and you are not required to have it to play this game. Why anyone would complain about it existing in the game makes no sense to me.

    Yes, Orc, you do. This game is not a handout. Sometimes, if you want something more, you have to earn it. Simply "showing up to the game every day" doesn't earn it any more than "showing up to work every day" earns a promotion and a raise.

    Any idea how long they take to dispatch? Ordered mine about 23 seconds after the announcement was made. Just wondering if it is likely to get here to the UK while I am on holiday in August. Am having it delivered to work anyway but wondering if I should tell them to open the box and make sure he is fed and cuddled properly until I get back.

    I can't get the blasted plush shipped to Brazil, any way to obtain the item code without have to ship the plush? I'm willing to pay the same price for the code.

    I'm in the UK as well and I ordered it from gamingheads the day it was announced. I got an email today stating that my guar will be delivered by Hermes and that it should arrive 2-3 working days after I received the email although it may take longer

    I hope this will sell in Game Store too.

    There is a special pet, the Whiterun Wolfhound.

    I can't really say I'm a fan of this. If this was LoL or another F2P game, I'd have zero problem with it, as I understand businesses need to make money to survive and continue producing the content I consume. But, this is ESO, a subscription based game, and I'm paying $15 a month along with the $60 box price to play it. I feel like these little vanity items should be available in purchase in-game for in-game gold.

    I agreed with you!!

    I ordered from Bethsoft directly and no sign yet of any sort of dispatch or change in my order status :(

    This thing is adorable! I might actually consider buying this haha. And everyone that's complaining about not being able to get the pet without purchasing the plush needs to relax - it's just an aesthetic item. Unless they start selling more useful, powerful items in the store, then it shouldn't be an issue.

    So paying real world cash is earning in-game items now, is it? Other games call it MT.

    Personally I'm fine with it, but your condescending put-down is kind of amusing considering what it is you actually inferred you support.

    This is stupid... I don't want the plush and I don't want to pay $20 plus $20 to a sum of nearly $40 AUD just for the in game pet. Its been my favorite animal in TES since I played morrowind too.. Got to be honest, this game is not "amazing" due to terrible design principles and now its putting stupid prize tags over the top of a Sub game for things that alter in game. (yes the pet does not alter "game play" in a dmg or something way but it does alter my "completionist" way of playing unless I pay a stupid amount on top of sub fees....)

    My guar has arrived today. To redeem the code I must first enter a Game Registration Code which was never emailed to me. (I've heard it's applied "directly" if you purchase online edition). I've purchased online Imperial edition and now to get this pet I don't have the code. What can I do?

    This is the official discussion thread for the blog article A Guar of Your Own. How can you resist that little face! :3

    So now I've confirmed that if you buy a digital edition the Game Registration Code is "automatically applied" to activate your account. To redeem Guar in game I need to enter this code first, and then the code that comes with a plush toy. How should I figure out Game Registration Code if I bought digital Imperial edition and I don't have this code (It's not in my email and neither it is in my Spam box) ? The codes given on the billing history page don't work. Does it mean I now need to go to the store and buy a physical edition to get this code?

    Is there any way we could get some sort of loyalty points to allow long-time subs to acquire these kinds of in-game pets? A kind of middle-ground. Not necessarily giving all long-term subs this pet, but giving them a choice after some time to pick among some exclusive stuff. That wouldn't outright disincentivise people from purchasing the toys because they would still get the codes immediately, while the rest of us wait. And. Annnnnd! It would make subs happy.
