Just curious.

Personally I've dropped ~£40 (~$63) and I only started a couple weeks ago. Was used to buy mech bays and a Muromets.

It occurred to me that £40 is basically a full priced game, how much have you guys spent so far? Is it starting to feel a bit much?

EDIT: added poll

Including Founders, $220. No, I don't feel it's much yet.

Been playing since they offered guaranteed Closed Beta access to founders. $220, but I still have MC in the "bank". Expensive for a game, less than premium cable channels.

[Sadistic Savior]

It's been less than a week. I've spent $15 on premium time and another $15 or $20 on MC.

I would have bought a founders package if I'd had a PC capable of running MWO at the time.

My initial $30 for Founders. Still have almost half of it left so haven't purchased any more yet.

[Team Leader]

Just the 120 from my founders. The MC system is way too far out of my comfort zone. I can't wrap my mind around why anyone would buy anything else. Unless they're like, really rich, or they have nothing else to spend it on...

Honestly I was expecting the $80 worth of MC to coast me through the next 3 years or so on premium content.. And no, it gets me like 3 atlases. I can't help but feel ripped off :/ still a good game though

[Tice Daurus]

I've spent I think 255 so far. The founders plus 125. And I'm even considering buying more.

Just the $120 for founders.
Still have 12500 MC left, and until prices come down a bit on mechs all I'm going to buy is mechbays and hero mechs that I really really want.
I'd buy premium time, except I still have 3 months banked.

With Founders, $370. Bought $50, then the ******** did the two 20% off sales.

[Kinilan]

Zero. Nothing. Not one cent and I don't plan to spend any money until CW and the full meta is in place. Which is not to say that I have a problem with the core game play. It's pretty solid. but there is no hook. If I just wanted to run around and shoot things though there are hundreds of games that let me do that. I expect more from MWO and when it is delivered I'll probably break down and get some MC for hanger slots.

[FupDup]

$0.


Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances taught me the hard way to never open my wallet until after the core issues get fixed, as opposed to paying before the fixes and somehow magically expecting that money to make it get fixed.

The fact that most of the premium items don't seem like a good investment IMO (I have more than enough $$$, I just like to spend it on things that actually give me respectable bang for my buck and not garbage) due to their prices is another factor (voting with my wallet FTW).

None. The current MC pricing structure is just too high to justify putting out real money.

The only items I would ever purchase are mech bays, but even 300 MC is too much for just one, in my opinion.

I could go on about other aspects of the current economic system but it wouldn't be helpful to your topic.

[Ryan the Lion]

120 for my founders package. Bought almost a year of premium time with the MC. Won't buy more MC till it goes on sale for another 20% bonus.

[Havyek]

$120 for Founders and about $6 or whatever for some quick MC for GXP conversions.

Will probably buy another $50 worth when money's not as tight.

[Joseph Mallan]

MC...
$15 a Week since they started taking money and another $75 at Christmas. So probably over $375 Bucks give or take $30!

[Sadistic Savior]

I have not bought any Mechs with MC...all I have bought is premium time and paint.

How much money in total? Even an estimate works.

[8RoundsRapid]

Zero.

It will stay that way until CW is implemented and it's worth giving them my money.

I am patient and experienced, I don't run off and shoot my wad over the slightest glimmer of something that may be... uh.. stimulating.

If CW is good, I'll spend, if it's not, no money for PGI from me.

[anonymous175]

like 35 bux.

shoulda made better use of it :|

[DegeneratePervert]

Too much. I'm probably putting their kids through college.
