Thanks for this!

And thanks for posting a link in other topics asking about the founder's pack, this is how I found my way here.

You'd think such information would be in the official FAQ with only a few days before the actual release date of the package.

@Argon
No information on the exact layout of the Founders 'Mech (otherwise I would have put it into the FAQ). BE patient and wait for the official information which should be posted next Tuesday when the packs go on sale.

Something resembling a statement about overseas server opportunities should pop out in the next couple of days.

Great post, cleared up a lot of questions I had. I am still leary on dropping $60 on a founders pack w/o knowing if I will truly enjoy the game or not. I guess if I was more familiar with this company I may not be so hesitant.

Maybe open beta will come before I can not longer get a founders pack.

Faenwulf, you're a scholar and a gentleman. (Or, perhaps, lady, I make no assumptions!)

The founders pack is for a limited time only, I'm guessing it will be long gone by the time of the open beta...

From the Official Developer Update

..." Our next step is introducing the Founder’s Program time-limited offer (which includes new details!),..."

Anyone know what the new details are? I have been looking but don't see info about the founders program updated.

Well, thats the gag, Stormforged. They will be giving out all this Information next Tuesday. Just stay tuned.

@mechnut450
As I gathered, Its a limited time offer, not number. Number would be dumb: its just digital assets, so there are no production costs for PGI. If they would now limit the number of Foudner Packs, they would propably lose a good deal of money.
But I'll propably be up late to wait for the packs anyways. :)

The only reason I could see for limiting the number of founders is to limit the number enteries into the closed beta before it becomes open beta. But I think this would still be very unlikely.

Originally the founders pack where going to be on sale till July 17
Same day you could join the testing
No word if they will stop sales on that day or continue to Aug 7th

Unless I missed a post somewhere updating sale dates

Custom mech
But they are all the same basic Mech for each founders mech
So if I get an Atlas and you do, they will be the same mech before mods
I hope that is clearer

Game is free to download
Founders just let you downloader sooner
And you get more nice things
