Hey, having an issue. I cant buy the game. The stupid pay system has rejected 3 credit cards (says declined on all of them) and my paypal account. Yes, all my info is right and plenty of money in all those accounts.

Im stationed in Japan with the US Military, and using all my stateside billing addresses. Are you guys blocking this in Japan or what?

Nowhere is blocked but there is issues with cards/paypal being rejected. They're taking a hammering so I'd say just try again later and it should go through.

I had the same thing. First you might be getting server disconnects if a lot of ppl are trying to get it at the same time. That happened when it opened up. Also, Paypal called me they think its a possible fraud and once you ok it then you can try to purchase it again and it will go through. I a had 3 cancelled charges before I got the phone call.

I've been looking for an answer but haven't found any (search function looks disabled)

Is it possible to buy a founders pack as a gift? It's my brother's birthday and it'd be one of his gifts.

I was hoping to pilot a Centurion. Will "founder" quality mechs (with the bonus to C-Bills) be available for purchase later, or will players forever be limited to these four "founder" mechs if they want the bonus?

Do the bonuses for a premium account and a founder mech stack? 50% premium + 25% mech = 75% bonus?

Can I please get an answer to this question from back on page four?

1. I read in the past somewhere that you can buy right now and play as well, they aren't going to do any blocking. Just be prepared for some lag.
2. Once European servers are online you will have an option to permanently move your account to the European servers.
3. I don't think Founder's will be on sale all that long. (Can't remember the specific date)


I guess I was a bit slow in responding to this though, oops

Okay to help sumarize here's the Google+ post from Mechwarrior Online.

Okay so Russ was clarifying stuff relating to the founders packs and here's the skinny I pulled out of the conversation:

1. All founder packs that have mechs will still leave you with 4 extra garage slots. That means if you buy the Legendary pack you will have 8 slots, 4 of which will be filled.

2. All founder mechs are the PRIME Variants, i.e. the sarna.net defaults in the sidebar mechs. This also means they overwrite the "first tier" defaults for each of these mechs. As such they are fully customizable and have the exact same hard-points as the non-founder variants. The only bonus is the paint and a lifetime 25% C-bill bonus.

3. You MAY upgrade packages up to August 7th. So buy early and upgrade if you can' t pay for it all now. Also sales should be open to at least July 15th. (he's not confirming past that point)

4. The "month of premium" provides a 50% Boost to XP and C-bills. The Founder mech 25% bonus to C-bills STACKS with the premium time.

5. All you EU and other place players will be allowed to move whatever you have on the NA server to the EU server FOR FREE when the EU (or wherever) server opens.

6. The "$80 of in game money" is "ballpark subject to change" equal to about 8 Medium mechs. So about $10 a medium mech. We're guesstimating that you can probably get 6 Heavies and 4 Assaults with that money. TOTAL CONJECTURE AT THIS POINT AND NOT CONFIRMED!

I hope this helps you make any purchasing decisions!

[Gromkey Blackwind]

I would like to know which mech will earn the most C Bills of the 4 founder mechs.. as in.. how the exp is added.. is it damage..or kills.. I thought i found this thread but nows a great time to answer again!

It would be nice if the $120 for the Legendary actually gave you more in the way of C -bills than elite.

Yes but it does not

Sure, 4 founders mechs, but what are they?
It is posted on page 10 as specific mechs and has been out in genral form for A LONG TIME
Atlas Catapult Hunchback Jenner

What can we do with them (think customize)?
Just like all the others.....

I want to know that it is fiscally better than simply dropping $60 for the Elite package and then spending $60 additional on C-bills which could buy me more than I am getting in Legendary. Game credit is nice, but not enough to bridge the gap in price.

Then don't buy it



Read before you post people

It also gives you an extra month of Premium.

Well Russ did say the bonuses do stack but they didn't say if their would be more premium account type mechs for sale later.

[kelmar6821]

The difference between me spending 0$ and $60 is whether or not i can put ppcs on my founders catapult. I don't understand what this primevariant stuff is, its been over a month since I read the mechlab devblog. Can i get a quick answer to this question

Thank you very much.
