Collectors Edition Mousepad
So when I got the collectors edition home one of the first things I did was get out the mousepad so it could replace the mousepad I got from Burning Crusade collectors edition. The mousepad looks really cool, but… After having used it for a little while now I am afraid I have to call it a failure for one simple reason. The mousepads backside is to slippery and you end up moving the mousepad instead of the mouse a bit to often. Sad to say the mousepad will go back in the CE box as a collectors item and I will get out the previous mousepad again. I hope Mythic or GOA will consider this when including a mousepad for the collectors edition of the first Warhammer expansion pack.
Update 29th September: Remember to peel the backside plastic off the mousepad.
Did you consider paying attention to the sign saying ‘Peel Me’ on the mouse pad?
Try removing the backside plastic cover
That will teach me. I peeled the “peel me” flap off without removing the plastic on the backside… I just brought it out again from the box and will now give it a second chance.
I know that your post about the collectors edition mousepad is well over a year old, but I just saw the post today.
I have the collectors edition of Warhammer Online, purchased and opened and installed back in September 2008. I don’t recall there being a mousepad of any kind in the box. So I just took the dusty CE box off my shelf and gave it a thorough inspection, even removing the little tray that holds the contents of the box so that I could see underneath it. And sure enough, no mousepad.
So I’m curious, what is this mousepad you are referring to? Was it perhaps a promotional item from GameStop or some other select retailer? I’m certain that the generic vanilla collector’s edition did not come with a mousepad, so your blog posting has me somewhat scratching my head.
Well lucky you then that I saw your comment anyway.
I ended up not continuing playing the game after all so the whole site project kindda died.
But there most certainly was a mousepad in the collectors edition itself. However I think that the mousepad was only part of the european collectors edition and not the US one, I think that might explain your situation.
Was hard to find a reference for it, but on “http://pc.gamezone.com/gamesell/p35019.htm” I found confirmation as they write:
“EUROPEAN EXCLUSIVE - MOUSEPAD
Only for European purchasers, a unique gaming mousepad will be available in the Collector’s Edition. “
