Should I Activate My 120 Day Premium Time Now Or Wait When Cw Phase 1 Releases?

I was intending to save the 120 days premium time for when Community Warfare phase 1 is released, so that I can gain some extra Loyalty points etc. But it seems that CW phase 1 is still nowhere in sight.
So I'm thinking I might as well activate the premium time now and maximise my free time.
Thing is, I've mastered all the mechs I care to master and the main pull for me for using premium time is not for XP gain, but rather, to accumulate a hoard of c-bills for yeah...... buying CW / black market stuff when CW is in full swing.
Should I activate my premium time now or should I hold on till CW phase 1 is out?

I'd do it now so you have enough C-Bills to get what you want right when you need it. Four months worth will likely leave you with some time after Phase 1 is implemented anyway.

Speaking of cockpit items... Did we ever get our founder's medal? I want to hang that up in a mech soon.

If you're not leveling a lot of units up, don't activate it; If you just want some cash to tinker with a build, drive a Hero, instead.
I've never activated mine, and I suspect I've missed the window to do so without waisting it all …

Now as to premium time and changes in CW, I suspect that eventually a loyalty point boost will be a part of premium time, however I don't see premium time getting adjusted for loyalty until after the full 3 phases of CW are in game, (partly to keep the manic always on players from achieving the 'endgame' to quickly, and let players get a feel for the loyalty grind thus creating value when premium time covers a loyalty boost) which means it will be a LONG time if i'm right.
If you have the excess playing time now, i'd take the premium time and use it. better to have the bank of c-bills sooner rather than later imho. Worst case you can buy future premium time in small blocks for loyalty bonus once CW is in IF premium time covers that.

That may change in the future, but as far as I know its the current policy, so your banked premium time should still be sitting there waiting for you.

90 days is long enough... When I did mine, I felt really sick of the game because I felt I had to "play" it.
We should be given the option to utilize premmie at least in 30 day increments to avoid burnout...
I have 90 days left banked for whenever CW decides to show up...

Same situation. I've got 121 or so days from Phoenix etc. and the idea was that we would have CW by the time of their release. Well nope and not gonna activate my premium before I get to play more than TDM. I *might* activate if I could do, say 2 weeks at a time but all the 4 months, no way. This game needs to have a lot more content for me to activate. I'm anyway a loyalist, which might be implemented by next summer.
If I could activate only a part, I would and might even BUY more premium time while waiting for CW. Now I feel that I'm not buying anything because I don't want to bloat the 4 months even more and that 4 months wont get activated until we have a game.
It might even help PGI's income if premium could be activated in pieces...
OP: I recommend not activating yet.

But it is like an AC20. Rather not need and have then need and not have.

True, or something could completely kill MWO by then, so I still say use it now, before it's to late.
