To Whom It Concerns,

I've been playing for awhile now. Since Closed Beta (Founder member) to be precise. Anyhow, lately I've noticed something that...if I'm correct, needs fixed ASAP. I've not activated my Founder's Premium Time yet, but once in awhile I'll use MCs to buy temporary Premium status. Why not, right? Get big bonuses - when you need'em. Well, recently, I noticed something...strange/odd/bug(?):

When I don't have Premium status activated, the game will "advertise" to me what MC/Pilot EXP I would have earned - IF I HAD PREMIUM account status. This advertised amount (for MC) would OFTEN have me earning a total of OVER 250-300k in a match!! (Depending on the match, dmg I've done, kills, and other factors).

Now, under normal circumstances, it can be pretty hard to calculate exactly what you should have been "paid" in MCs for any given match - but...a little observation has resulted in this:

When I have Premium account status, I RARELY seem to push above 175-225k. I'm playing A LOT of matches. So...the law of averages tells me, at some point, I should start seeing that 250-300k I kept seeing before, right? After all, I'm still getting 2-4+ kills (typically), doing 1-3rd place in dmg, getting bonuses for spotting, savior kills, etc. So....why isn't it adding up? Ya know, like it did BEFORE I had Premium status?

I'm not ACCUSING Piranha Games of any shenanigans....but I strongly urge this to be investigated further by their development team. I love MWO, and it would be a shame to see this game end up in a civil lawsuit over false advertisment(s). Thank you for your time.

How about you check the listing of the credits and XP you gained after a match on the post match screen?

Eighter the bonus is added on each value (line), in this case the base of the XP and credits for win and lose will be higher with the bonus, or it is added as extra row and you direct see if it get added.


Did you click on the activate premium time to check how many days you have (it dont start when you click it, it ask you if you want and tells you how many days you have left)? Maybe its bugged because you still have time, and the game is adding your premium time on top of your stored days and just think you have premium time.
