I love MW its the only game I have ever enjoyed on line. The founders mech and the extra incentives were enough for me. Plus I will be around a long time until they have to feed me through a straw. See profile to understand.

Dev support. So that they can have more dev time to make Urbie even more Awesome.

Just keep the pressure on. Sooner or later they will cave and announce the Urbanmech.

Wanted to help make sure that this game got finished. Also, I needed a new game to play after my kids go to sleep.

Strait up I'm going to say this... I really wish the Jenner wasn't part of the Legendary, as I will never use it. But hey, I wanted to support the development of this game. So I went for the gusto.

Battletech has always been near and dear to me, as I suspect it has for most of us.. Anything I can do to help the devs along is fine by me. Taking this IP on has got to be a daunting task, especially with so many hardcore buffs- get something wrong, and you'll know about it..

Legendary for love of BT/MW and the long time yearning for a new game in the universe.
But it was more of a case of "Shut up and take money!" as I didnt hesitate to hurl bills at the screen.

I chose to "support the developers" by buying a Founder pack because I really really REALLY want this game to be awesome and succeed and be around for a long time so I can play it. The extra goodies are just a bonus. And really a legendary founder pack costs the same as 2 console games and less than a year's sub to any MMO. In fact I quit two MMOs so I can fully support MWO.

I am really glad I started this poll. The results thus far to me are really surprising. The depth and commitment of the community to this project is simply incredible.

In my mind, the only reason for giving the $120 as opposed to waiting for "the free product" was a feature I fell blindly, and totally in love with -- the concept of community warfare. My underlying assumption is that everyone else had something in particular that they fell in love with and wanted desperately to see brought into fruition.

Instead, what is winning by far is sheer devotion to the concept of the game regardless of the particular features. This is truly impressive; and I hope PGI is taking this into consideration. This level of trust from a playing community is, to my mind, unprecedented.

Well done PGI, and wtg to us, the community.

"Long live the fighters!"

Oops, wrong canon.

Long live MW:O!

I loved the trailers and the devs seemed to put a lot of heart into this project.

Also the amount of founders will give the devs the feeling that they are doing a good job and thus will encourage them to keep it up!

OK, for a moment i was calculating: 120$ are 100€ (me being german) and that translates into 100 Cheesburgers at a well known burger franchise or to put it into a better currency: about 192 bottles of beer... in the end the mechs won ;-)

I have many fond memories of MechWarrior games past. I am excited about MWO, and really want to support the Devs through launch.

Games like Call of Duty (multiplayer portion) and Counter-Strike hold not interest for me. The twitch-shooter, learn maps and shoot in likely corners before seeing someone and win, if you're winning I'm a noob but if I'm winning, I'm hacking, kind of playstyle is completely unfulfilling (TO ME). A thinking person's game (Arma, MWO) requires more than just fast reflexes. Teamwork, communication, and a sense of being part of something greater than yourself are what I enjoy. MechWarrior Online delivers that in spades.

The Founder pack is too much of a 'donation' in and of itself. My rationale: While most games are running around $60, I could see paying $60 just for the game. An extra $60 on top of that for what I get in the Founders pack is more than what I normally pay for extra content, but because this game is so much more than COD will ever be, I can see it as my small part in stacking the odds in MWO's favour. Just like voting in elections, by placing my money in MWO, I have 'casted my vote' into what I want to see in this and future games. Devs won't continue to make games where there is no money.

tl;dr version - MWO is infinitely better than COD (IMO), and I want to spend my money on a product that I will enjoy.

The kids should just be playing the game next to you. When I was a <10 I played MechWarrior 2. Compare the graphics. They have it made. For added fun, drive an Atlas and put them in Commandos.

[Leegion]

mainly to support the devs that were bringing back Mechwarrior to the present day, but if im honest the idea of a credit bonus with those mechs didnt hurt

[Onifrk]

I was already in the game well before they offered the founders packs. My choice was purely for support.

[bitumen2003]

Purchased legendary to suport the Development of Mechwarrior ONLINE....



The boost to the ego with potental name in credits helped free the credit card

[Rorik Jorgensson]

To support the developers and hope that in the future we will get Mechwarrior 5.

[Willpower]

I had fun with the first mechwarrior game, but that was a very long time ago. I did it mostly for the extra mechs.

[CycKath]

Support the game, support the IP

[Yokaiko]

Because I could isn't an option.

[Arkhell]

I've been waiting years to trow someone money to make a mechwarrior game. so theirfore i'm trowing money at PGI now for making a MW game and it's an online game at that with a great engine. if they had a higher tier package i would of trown even more money at them
