Unless I am grinding CBills or XP towards something, the game is not fun. I love the progression. The game was feeling stale to me then I decided to grab a Flame on sale then Mastered 3 Dragons (so much fun). Again, the game became stale so I picked up a Heavy Metal and now have Mastered it and almost mastered the other two highlanders (so much fun).

Now I was one mechbay short for the last highlander so instead of selling a suboptimal commando to free up a slot, I buy the $100 MC pack. Then I had to make him look like Optimus Prime so I bought the premium red and blue colours. I guess what I'm saying is I'm a whale and I can't stop playing this game. I'm totally screwed when CW comes in.

Anyone else have a whale song?

+ low free time, so premium time.

$100 doesn't make you a whale.

Well it would be $160 since I am an Elite Founder. I think the whale threshold is $400 or something. I can't remember the exact number, but I read it somewhere. Perhaps I'm just a porpoise right now.

[jay35]

Oh, I didn't know there was a specific number.

I thank you for your donation to the game developers.

It's been eight months now, and I paid $120; that's $15/month. It's about time to buy some more MC, I think.

Whale's gotta whale. If PGI doesn't do anything in the next patch, but increase the stability of the Game. They will get my money in the future. Until, then Whale is gonna Whale around so Hard. But Ya, Compared to The Jenner Wars and the StreakCats Dark Age and the Rampage of the 83kph Streak-Awesomes back in Closed Beta, this game is much much much more stable and balanced. Those were truly dark times.

I think I am normally a whale in F2P games, much to my own chargrin, but I kinda stopped. I feel it's not really worth it, better grind in some fun mech I already own. Or play not at all.

Someone uses a term in an article tangentially related to MWO and now everybody begins to use it.

God bless the USA.

So it was time to buy a new laptop. (when it has trouble running hulu it is time for a new one.) Looking around at the store I realized that I should get one that can run mwo. Here I am spending $600 (great deal... 30% off original price.) on a computer when I wanted to spend $400. Yes... $200 for mwo or $600 on mwo depending on how you look at it. I didn't get into the founders packs. I like things I can keep. $30 when the game went open, Even though I was in the closed beta and I knew better I gbought a yenlow. $30 a month ago because I wanted more slots... and a deaths knell. I love my 13 mechbay slots. Why did I have to go with Awesomes as my assault mech of choice? Damn... I don't want to buy a pretty baby... don't... How soon before I can justify buying a pretty baby? A friend loves Centaurus. I bought him a yenlow and a mechbay slot for his birthday. I am not quite there yet. Probably will be some time after clans get here.

Aye. All that's missing is the gear check. "What you running on that Highlander?"
"LRM's and a couple of large lasers, LBX 10."
"What, no ERPPC? Fail mech!" kicked from drop.

The only progression that matters is the one that leads to more of itself. I am closing in on 2000 Matches played since OB, and have killed more than been killed. That is a good progression. Not a Whale yet, still a Sea Lion, but growth is imminent. LOL

[Dishevel]

Getting close to $300.00
When I look at the whole number then look at the game ...
I think I could save money by stopping for a few months and getting
The Thrustmaster A10 stick and throttle and a set of CH pro pedals and the DCS A-10.

On the one hand, I'd like to thank you for supporting the game's developers.

On the other, I'm now seriously conflicted as to whether they even deserve support, and whether your payment is going to support MWO, or MW:Tactics, as all of our Founders money did.
