These are in USD for obivous reasons.
EarlGrey83 pointed out that if you are not from the US you might want to watch the money markets and buy MC when the market favors your national currency.

Thanks once agian to all those who helped in this thread!

You can purchase MC (either through the blue link in the launcher window or through pressing the yellow CM button in the header of this site).

Once you have MC, then you can trade those for items ingame (Mechbays, Hero Mechs, cockpit decorations, colours/camo skins and so on) or trade them in for premium time. The Button for this is at the bottom of the game launcher (Add premium time).

First you have to buy MC (the gold button on the interface, near the middle).. then you use your MC to purchase premium time. There are dozens of threads about it in the help area here, just have to do a search on it if you want pics..

Thanks I spent over an hour going through threads that said purchase premium but they only seemed to mention people who had founder status. Any idea what the CM to Time ratio is? (So I know how much CM to buy)

1 day = 250mc
3 days = 650mc
7 days = 1250 mc

and I can't go above that because I only have 2k MC at present.. using it all for bays. There's a chart somewhere I think, but I'm not sure where it is.

Thanks! I think I have a good idea what the progression is from that. Can be pricy over time but I think I'll go for it.

Thanks all of you!

Keep in mind the actual "dollar cost" of each premium time tier is fluid, since each MC package gives you a different MC for dollar rate

If your not from the us and can wait a bit, its actually usefull to watch the trades between dollar and your currency for a while, and buy when yours is standing high.
This is working out quite fine. :P

30 days (and more) are the only worthwhile deals, don't bother with the single-digit days.
