Cannot find info about Premium account. Can a dev or manager tell what it means to be premium?

Thanks.

[Aldinvor]

it means you gain a bonus to c-bills/exp earned for a period of time

Other than that, they haven't said.

We know nothing else than what the guys above me said.

It's simpoly the same premium a in Tribes: Ascend, or World of Tanks - bonus exp/money for some time.

Ahh ok.... it's C-bill / exp booster so far. That means with the Elite founder all your mechs get that boost for 2 months.
After the 2 month period, perhaps one mech keeps the boost for life.... But the specifics are not clear yet..

Thanks for the info people.

It's a CP/XP booster with a fancy name.

The founder mech gets a lifetime boost for matches it's used in.

No lifetime VIP/premium status has otherwise ever been mentioned, boosters will be sold monthly.

The premium boost is tied to the Pilot, not the Mech.

No word on whether the Founders Tag will just be "Founder" or "Elite Founder" / "Veteran Founder"

No word on what items are available in the store that your Mech Credits (MC) can buy.

We will see soon. Legally they have to disclose what it is prior to selling it along with EULA and TOS for the product. So in about 2.5 weeks we all will know.

Here's the post explaining it all: Operation Inception yes, it isn't that detailed. But anybody searching to find out what's in the founder's packs will want to read it.

Or this:
$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.

• 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.

$30 VETERAN Founder's Package Includes:

• $40 value of in-game currency* for in-game item purchases.
  
• One-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.

If allowed, I will buy all 4 founder's mechs.

Elite + 3x vetran = $150
which would include:
$200 in game currency
5 months premium account
4 mechs all with lifetime bonuses.

I plan to wear out game controllers on this game. $150 is the cost of 3 average dates.
