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.

That wasn't a serious statement. It was a joke.

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?


don't worry, PGI's antics will shake you out of the whale syndrome soon enough...

i've placed $220++ in game so far and i refuse to pay more until i see them take a turn for the better...

You weren't the only one. Its caused a bit of a stir and even caused some gaming sites to publish stories about it:http://www.gamefront...-at-great-risk/

The joke is that role playing was supposed to be one of the original design pillars of Information Warfare. Like 3rd person view, right?

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.

WAIT FOR THE SALE, JOBE!

$100 does not make you a whale dude. Try $1000. Founders dropped $120 and are not whales.

Hmm wonder what a $1000 US package might have had consisted of...

Gold-plated, silver filigree mechs tastefully encrusted with diamonds and rubies? (reflects some energy weapon dmg)
Your username integrated into a map somewhere... (Plot twist: its a billboard for hookers)
Personalized pilot jumpsuits
