I have a question in regard to the account that I am going to buy the founders pack from...

When I setup my first beta profile, I got stuck with my profile at the 96% status. The only solution I could find, was to create a second account.

I want to give myself the best chance at getting into the closed beta before the next phase.

I would perfer to use my main account, but that one is stuck at 96% so I doubt that one has a chance of being selected when I buy the pack.

Do I have to use the second account I created just because I got that one to 100%? Or does the 96% complete thing not mean anything and I have an equal chance of getting pulled from the "founders early pool" if I buy my pack from the account with 96%?

Okay a couple questions I see a lot of:

The C-Biill booster amount was stated somewhere I think the print below the different packages. It is 25% on all the Mech's

As to the Value of the MC...most people asking what that would buy in game.

The best I can do for you now would be to equate that to Buying Mechs

It is quite a bit, off the top of my head and SUBJECT TO CHANGE DISCLAIMER

You could likely buy somewhere between 8-10 Medium class Battlemechs at current tentative plans. More lights of course and less of the heaviest mech's in the game.

This can and probably will change before launch to some degree but I think it does show everyone, that in game currency will go a long ways to building your Mech Bay up with your favorite Chassis.

Will I at any point be able to upgrade to a higher tier of founder's edition?

I also was hoping to know how the Premium account and the founder mech bonuses will interact.

I'm currently in a situation where I can pay for one of the Founders Program plans, but would not be able to play the game at launch (you may e-mail me if you want further details). Could I postpone my actual subscription activation, but still get all the other goodies from whatever plan I choose?

I've been asking this a lot since Founder's Packs were announced, I've seen it asked several times in this thread with no response yet..
What does, "Limited Time" mean? A week a month? If you're not willing to give us an exact date, please give us a ballpark one? Just say, through the End of July or something? Some of us have to plan around the purchase.

Garage slots are a definite concern. I'd really like to know if these 4 founders chassis take up our default 4 garage slots, or do they come with their own garage slots each, leaving us with the default 4 slots empty for other chassis? Or will we have to purchase more garage slots in order to have anything other than the 4 chassis we get with the legendary founders' package?

Can you please give the Legendary Founders even EARLIER beta access? Please, God, we obviously love Mechwarrior enough to be meticulous in helping you revise your beta. Please, listen to reason!

Can you name Founders mechs like in the mech lab video? I want to give my Atlas a red paint scheme and name it "Hey Kool-Aid"

How will the progression from early access beta to open beta and then to "production" affect the ingame assets of the founders package(specially c-bills)?.
Will the game be "soft/hard wiped" on release thus losing all techs and XP?(except the founders mechs themselves)

because all i see is that premium gets activated on open beta

Could we get a package ticker? Meaning, how much money the company has made so far and how many of the different packages were bought? I'm always curious about those things. Kinda like a PBS Fund Drive :angry:
