What are the 'Mech specs for the new additions?

The Clan Wave 2 'Mech specifications can be found on the Wave 2 sale page. http://mwomercs.com/wavetwo
The King Crab, Centurion and Atlas shall all have their specs provided ASAP in this thread.

Will the 'Mechs be available for MC and CBills?

Yes, though without the 30% C-Bill reward bonus and the custom paint-job. Standard variants will be provided future release dates for MC and CBills as we approach the deadline for delivery to those who have earned these Mechs through the above rewards.

What is Double XP Conversion?

At any time, you can use MC to convert your excess 'Mech-specific XP into General XP, which can be used on any Mech as well as on unlocking access to modules. This can be done through the Skills tab in-game when selecting a specific Mech you have played with.
This weekend event doubles the conversion rate for MXP into GXP

Anything for Community Contributors?

Starting early next week and continuing for several weeks, we are going to be performing a series of Community events at different locations on the forums and our social media outlets. Stay tuned for more info; Artists, get your pencils ready because you will be first with a Birthday/Anniversary MWO themed art contest!

Who are you people and what did you do to the real PGI?

This is the real PGI. We truly care for and feel passionate about our community, though we have not always been the most awesome or able at expressing this in the past. To us, much like to many of you: MechWarrior is not simply a license, it is a legacy.
Reaching one year from Launch with continued development is no small task. For whatever we have done, we wouldn't have come this far, nor could we go further, without you: Our supportive customers, inspiring fans, active players and community contributors.
We're deeply indebted to all those players who have supported our game and this is a few of the many ways we hope to show that continuing gratitude as we turn over a new leaf.
Thank you all for standing by.
