hero an champ mech's 85250MC

The lights 12875MC

Medium mech's 42525MC

Heavy mech's 51925MC

Assult Mech's 66735MC

All cammo spec's 84000MC

1 of all cockpit items 10750MC

94 mech bay's 31500MC

1 year of premuim 25000MC

total----------------------410560MC

total dollar amount $1649.15

1mc=2500cb

Med's assaults an heavys = 161185x2500=402962500cb

at an average of 400000cb an hour that is 1007 hours

that is roughtly 1/8 of a year each hour is a little
less than a than a dollar

at 8$ an hour wage 8x1007=8056$

it is more cost effective to pay cash than cbill's so who
wants to pay the total cost for all the content in MWO?

Please note i am just listing the cost of all the content i am completely impartial to this i do not care i have the mechs i want i am not attempting to defame or slander pgi.

Hmmm, maybe people who think it's fun to play this game ....

[Voidsinger]

Calculations are out:

Mech Bays (94): This includes Founders and Sarah's mech. With Founders, 25 500 MC (no champions), 26 700MC without Founders Bays.

Sarah's Mech is no longer available, so 93 separate skill trees exist (Champion, Founders and Standard all share the same skill tree).

so slightly less that what i stated around 1500$?

[Cyrionthewise]

yep...It cost a lot of $$$$.......Better then not having Mechwarrior!!!!!

[StainlessSR]

At this time tho you only would need to spend ~ $99.95 USD

80 cbill mechs
76 Mechbays needed (80 - 4 free)
22800 MC needed for bay's

this would leave you 2200 mc for other things
A new game is around $60 USD (I have bought several this 1/2 a year alone) so for $40 more I could have all the mechbays needed.

Company of Hero's 2, on Steam (Online, No Box), to Canada, $70.00 + exchange. MWO is dirt cheap to play in comparison.

Well... To think about it... Naaah. Probably not them. Fun? What fun? MWO is fun? Who told ya? Don't trust 'em. No fun here at all. It's probably just all the rich wierdos who just don't know where to put their money into. Yep, those folk are going to buy all the content. As for the rest... They are just playing MWO because it's not fun. Yep. Exactly. They love games which are not fun, and that's why they play MWO. Right?

This perhaps is something in MWO's (PGI/IGP) favour, consistent worldwide pricing (although we are all still subject to currency conversion price ups of about 3% except the USAians).

To use the above example, on Steam, Company of Heroes 2 is $59.95 for the USA, $69.95 for Canada, and $79.95 for Australia. All in US Dollars. At least with MWO I can choose my currency and be charged the same in US Dollars as someone in the USA.

That said, tournanments will usually go the lowest pingers, and netcode issues tend to be proportional to ping. But blah, at least I can hit something in this game (MW2: Mercenaries was a depressing exercise that put me off net gaming).

How many mechs you up to now?

94. Have them all (No champions (Sarah's a special), since I have everything Mastered+65K and there is no hardpoint or skilltree difference).

No worries. I was figuring you might just to be able to do the separate sums but that's ok. I've started on my own and have the listing for all the mechs in the lab already. Next is colors and such.

Well at least This game has one thing going for it, it is actually fun...and that's the part of it that makes us hate all the annoying things. We have a fun game that we want to play without all the ********...

Interesting point indeed. It seems like they let the "players" into the game to soon. We got in after 1 year of production, most games, back in the day, would have 2 - 2.5 years of production done before ever allowing the "players" to see it. The times are a changing. If for the better? I would vote NO!

i think u forgot colors

Total cost of MWO is $0

You can play for free AND be totally competitive with any person who drops cash. There's no cost associated with playing MWO. With that said, yes the prices on stuff just seems a bit too high to me with the exception of mech bays
