Ideally prices should drop lower than ever before, but I'll settle for whatever discount is standard for sales.

Anyone have any idea when the next sale might be, and how much prices dropped previously?

I am still waiting on an MC sale. Though I wonder why, considering how pessimistic I am on the future of the game sometimes... Silly me, I guess.

Last I remember, Thanksgiving had 20% off MC sale. That's half a year ago.

If PGI wants money fast, do something similar NOW.

I expect an MC sale sometimes near a serious holiday, like the 4th of July.

Notice that the last actual MC sale was during the holiday season IIRC.

They had a special on the $100 package once -- it gave 30,000 MC instead of 25,000 MC. Was a great deal. Hope they do it again -- I need to buy some Buccaneer for a few 'Mechs.

Which mechs?

I'm curious to know what mechs look best in that skin and I only own Stalkers.

I think their pricing scheme is rather awful.

1. A regular mech that I can obtain using in game currency with relative ease is 15$ 20$ ?? Seriously? Now if they were all 5-10$ pretty much everyone wouldve bought some at one point or another to skip the grind.

2. Hero mechs. The mediums and lights seem well priced. But 30$ for a single digital mech with a mediocre c bill bonus? I don't really see the value. And thats an important distinction. Many of us are concerned not with the amount of money, but the value for that amount.

3. Paints/camos. Maybe just a little too expensive.

4. Premium time. Prices seem solid. Except when you buy a week and the next days patch makes the game utterly unplayable for the next 2 weeks :) maybe 1-2 pauses per month? Hell, at least don't make it start as soon as you buy it. Last premium sale was right after april patch...I couldnt play for 3 weeks due to teleporting/disconnects. Guess who did not buy any on that sale?

Just my general ideas in regards to pricing. An MC sale would be nice too.

I guess they'll do something either for the regional servers launch, or for the game launch in september. This because eventual founder clan packs look to be very far in the future.

I think it looks good on Spiders, Jenners, Cataphracts, and Awesomes. Those are the only 'Mechs I own at the moment, and I've been previewing the pattern on each. I really like the fact that it's different on each 'Mech, and even between different variants of the same 'Mech (for some of them like the Hunchback and Catapult anyway).

Having just recently come back to the game, liked the direction it was going but am a little unsure wether to part ways with cash; i gotta say an MC sale would have emptied my wallet.

I'm sitting on the fence here MWO, what say you to a 20% MC bonus on purchases?

Also please email people when you do these MC sales, all i get notified about is new mechs/maps.

Thanks. :)
