great contest. 25 or 50 wins, 5 is pretty low imho.

Well, it's a weekend, so 10 is probably a "better number".

However, I'll leave an expression here for the sake of simplicity:

"don't look a gift horse in the mouth"

Yeah, given that this most benefits newer players, it's counterproductive to put the bar high. 5-10 seems a good number to me. Mostly it's for showing up to a noticeable degree.

Now I'm usually one who comes up here only to troll and make snide remarks and this is the first positive comment I've made for PGI in a long time but I gotta log on and make it. This is a great promo to get people back and trying the game out. Hopefully it is good enough to keep people around... but this is the kinda promo I'd grind all weekend in MWO for... free mechs. Good Job PGI.

And lo, those players who never before had read forums or news items did look upon the centurion that appeared to them, as a miracle, and as one they did say, "nice".

Damn, I hoped for some green color sale


JK

very cool move! funniest thing is there're some naysayers who find something to QQ about, even if you throw free things at them

[Lord Letto]

Nice, a New Mech to work on, all I need now is 2 more mechbays to put 2 more cents in.....or sell 2 of my Mastered Trebs to replace with Cents.

[Skoaljaw]

Woot! Get Some! Thanks PGI!

[Marmon Rzohr]

[Tivale]

Win 5 matches or win 5 matches in a row?

That was epic!! Thank you PGI, my uncle who just started playing will enjoy this Centurion allot!!

[TheUncle]

wow this is exactly what draws players to the game! Good choice!

[Satan n stuff]

Well, thanks for the free mechbay, I don't really have a use for another Centurion so I guess I'll sell it.

[Dawnstealer]

Always wanted to try out Cents. Guess I'll be firing up my DDC for the weekend.

[Xenoid]

Wow, just wow. Now this is a major step in the right direction. Kudos, PGI!!!

I am actively and honestly thrilled with this. I’ve been contemplating snagging a CN9-A© for a while now, having grabbed the Yen-Lo-Wang during a previous sale. Now, all I have to do is jump in-game for a day or two and pound some skulls and I get to try out my second Cent pro-bono. Guess what I’m doing when I get home from work tonight? Not to mention how incredible a boon this is for new/casual players without much time or money to sink into the game.

I wholeheartedly approve of gifts like this, and not just because I’m benefitting from it. Even if I already had a CN9-A© - even if I couldn’t play this weekend – gestures like this can go a long way towards proving that you care about your players and generates a lot of goodwill. As a few others have said, I’m a lot more willing to shell out for a Clan pack to a company that’s willing to do things like this for its community. Good show, Piranha. I will be claiming my new Centurion with thanks before the night is out.

[Cazcade]

Very nice. Love it.

[Fut]

This might be a dumb question, but if you sell the CN9-A[C], do you get to keep the Mechbay?

Is it too early to nominate this thread for most positive on the forums in at least a year?

Definitely a great move, and it's good to see evidence of bundles being delivered now that UI 2.0 is out.
