Just to clarify, how long will the packages be on sale? I had budgeted to get elite, but the legendary sounds, well, you know.....

[Tyra]

So the premium account will be about $10 a month and the mechs ranging in the 7-15 dollar range?

I was going to get an elite.

Elite would be $20 for premium and 15 for a mech +80$ in cash, for $60 bucks. Basically that's $80 bucks for 25 bucks.

Legendary would be...$30 +60 = 90. So getting $80 bucks for $30 bucks.

Looking at it that way, the Legendary doesn't seem as bad a value, but I think it would have been better at $100 for the legendary, or an extra $20 in MC cash.

Basically, do I want the mechs or not is what it comes down to. XD

For the Elite package, can you change which Founder's 'Mech you will receive after the Founder's package is purchased (and still before the early access date, of course)?

[greytiger]

Like several others, I purchased my legendary account, and it timed out after processing the payment - i know it's gone though - the money's been removed from my bank account, but it doesn't appear to have linked it to my game account.

Never mind! Just took a while to link! Thank you!

If I've purchased the Elite package and wish to upgrade my package to Legendary before the end of the sale, would this be a possibility? To do so, would it require spending only the $60 difference, or the full $120 as if it were a new purchase?

Hey Russ, how long will the Founders Pack be available?
I bought Legendary, but it takes 4-6 work days untill the money is transfered, will I have enough time?

[BloodLegacy]

I agree, there has been no explanation of what the "Mech Tree" in any previous releases. Could you please elaborate on what that is?

[Serevn]

If i bought the Elite pack but for some reason I wanted to upgrade to Legendary later would I be able to?

. I'm a uk player, and it says on the release AGAIN that it's only for north America, no where does it say on the new release about the founders pack that you can do the one time only thing so,are you still going to alow the migration of this when servers are up en the eu/uk?

I specifically didn't give you guys 120$ as opposed to 60$ specifically because 4 founders mechs really won't make much difference in the end game territory control part of the game. It feels like a rip off because you haven't even hit parity with the perceived value of the tier below it. For my 120$ you should be getting a minimum of 120$ in IGC and an extra month of premium. The extra mechs and tag are really only superfluous extras for many people.

You cant be happy for helping fund a company and a game? Why ask for more in-game cash? $80 is quite a bit, so if you are not happy with the amount why pay $120 to help the company a bit? I think personally we should have gotten 4 months premium but that's just me. Either way I was eager to drop $120.

I also would like to know this. I only had budgeted 60 bucks for the elite package and spent the remaining spending money for this week on a Wolf's Dragoons tattoo. If I could upgrade after my next paycheck, well that would be cool.

EU coming up .. in your clarification post you mentioned that EU players who buy one of the founders packs, will be given a one time chance to migrate their accounts on the EU servers when they go live.

can you give us a bit more details about how is this going to work? will it be clear enough so we don't lose that chance? the more details you can give us the better

thx

Anyone who buys a Founders Package whether Elite or legendary will still have 4 empty mech bay slots on top of the Mech's they get with Founders.

Thank you very much for answering this question Russ. That was all I was worried about, have fun beating away the masses! And good luck with future devlopment and sales.

Good Hunting,

Does the founders tag have to show on our forum posts? I'm slightly embarrassed that i'm going to spend that much on a game.

[Steadfast]

Just an intermission, you can upgrade, just open http://mwomercs.com/founders/ again, there you have it. now, for how long this will be possible...
take care all

A few questions really piling up.

Q, When will we shut down the founders program and the ability to buy them?
A. There are some variables at play that are too difficult to explain, suffice it to say we dont know for sure but I can say that Aug 7th is very likely the longest it will run. But it is limited so don't wait too long if you can afford to. For those waiting on paychecks etc I would say we have in all liklelyhood at least 4 weeks at the minimum,

Q. how long can we upgrade them
A. I can say we would allow up until Aug 7th to upgrade

Q. Can we change our mech choice before the Aug 7th cut off
A. This currently isn't offered but we will look into it...no promises yet but we will try.

[xti]

do you plan on upgrading the forum server in the near future ? ^^

[CCC Dober]

Russ, I would like to ask PGI on behalf of the whole Euro zone: if the sales go really well, can you guys fire up a euro beta server?
If it doesn't cause you too much trouble of course.

Thanks in advance =)
