But you can subscribe for a C-bill a EXP bonus.

Which probably won't be done by subscription model, but by buying certain ammount of special currency you spend in some store in game. My guess is it won't be for possible for more than a year ahead.

From the news:


$60 ELITE Founder's Package Includes:

• Exclusive custom "Founder's BattleMech." This 'Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster.
  
• $80 value of in-game currency* for in-game item purchases.
  
• Two-month premium account to MechWarrior Online at launch: Earn XP & C-Bills faster.
  
• Founder's Tag - sets your status apart from the crowd & get noticed in-game and on the forums.
  
• Early access to the game along with Founder's assets availability starts July 17th.

So subscription is probably an option when the game launches.

Premium account =/= subscription. You don't need to pay to play.

Correct. We were talking about the premium account pay model.

So why are you talking about a subscription? A subscription almost by definition is "pay-to-play".

My point exactly. No subscription, just premium. Two different things.

Bad choice of words... sorry english is not mi primary language.

I don't think they have released what the Premium content will offer players. Have they?

I been writing emails to MS for nearly tens years to get a new version of MW (still own a copy of all the older versions and still play MW4), and now so close, my heart beating at the chance to trial a beta, and its a no go.....

you can play it as the servers are open to all invited closed beta peeps. its not region IP restricted but they have made it clear that you might not get a very good playing experience due to lag etc.

[Astaroht]

You can get into the beta even if you live outside north america, there is no ip blocking.

No worries, I was just a little confused over your choice of words.

Yup, indeed another game that will take my money away... at least, initially

I just hope they won't make the mistake of being able to get premium with C-Bills... That mistake got some companies in bankruptcy before.

What some of the others above were asking was for...(but got hung up on the word subscription)

Will there be a "Lifetime" Premium option?
