Q: Is there a possibility to upgrade your Founders purchase during the Founders period? Say from Veteran to Elite/Legendary or Elite to Legendary?

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.

You mean "fewer".

Grammar police, AWAY!!! *Flies off into the distance*

I love lamp.

I would like to take issue with the banner that says "Instant Access to Closed Beta! with any Founders Package BUY NOW.

Well I bougth now. Used PayPal to dish out the $60. Website said there was an "error". Stuipid me does it again - same error.

Check my bank account - (2) pending payments of $60 each to Playspan through PayPal.

Bought Now.

No Instant Access (Yes, I've had an account for months now, a pending on beta testing for months now, etc.). My disapointment and dismay comes from the "Instant Acess" promise. It is apparently not instant. I have nothing different than when I was a forum member (except -$120 to bank account at the moment).

I bought it now to get "Instant Access" to see if my machine would even run it adequately. This way I would have time to make any necessary adjustments. No access means no testing.

I will wait and see if Playspan needs to process the PayPal pending payment. "Instant Access" should be changed to "Access when We Feel Like Giving It to You". Well I feel like I've gotten it alright.

Not a good start. Take the money, not allow the play.

Has anyone else experienced this? Was it resolved in a timely fashion to your satisfaction?

Thank you.

Just saw this after I posted...I planned on buying a founder pack friday but seeing as its nearing the end of summer and the open beta is slated to start soon(from all the stuff i've read and have not seen anything to differ this assumption) if I can't get in soon'ish why would I buy the founders pack? I mean besides the obvious being a fan and want to support the devs.

[M3lvin]

Love the game. Thanks people for putting the threads up - no I still won't read them - I am too busy getting fragged.
Btw, I had no issues with the immediate access, other than that stupid little thing called work that chomps up a big part of my daily routine. Still, gotta get money (not c-bills) to pay for games some how.

[WarStorm]

I have also purchased the $30.00 founders pack and have not gotten an email confirmation but my bank account has been debted. When does the email go out and when does my status change from pending to beta?

Tried again after being told by support that it didn't go through. This time I confirmed the completion screen and still no access

Thanks everyone! This guide helped me make up my mind to purchase an Elite Founder's pack.

Game is downloading now...can't wait to get started!

[Henry Buzz Gerber]

good job with the condensed q&a

[Musashi Korian]

too bad the founders packages close on the 6th.. my next paycheck is around mid september XD was hoping to grab one too oh well godspeed MWO!

[TPrty]

So I assume MC is the real money currency and C-bills are what you earn in game, correct? Are they both able to buy the same items or are there things that MC can buy, but C-bills can't?
Edit: Obviously C-bills won't buy premium account or anything like that, what I am referring to are in-game items such as Mechs, upgrades, things of that nature.
I've played some F2P games where you CAN'T buy certain in game "items" which are required if you want to actually be competitive, without putting up cash $$$.

Hi. I just bought the Legendary Founder package. I got a confirmation email at 4:50 P.M. my time. My BETA status is still pending as of 5:20 p.m., but my profile shows my legendary status. Can I assume that this will be resolved in the next hour and a half or so I'm going to be fighting traffic to get home to my PC?

Any steps I need to take on my end? Thanks.

EDIT: I have already emailed support, FYI

EDIT 2: Now I have also received paypal confirmation that the payment went through--still nothing.

Just bought the 60 Elite Founder package. Thought I would get instant access after I paid for one of the package's?? Beta still pending..??
What happens after you buy ? Not given me the option to even download game. Thought it would give me some sort of code.... Have been over many posts about other people having the same problem. Where do you download the game any info would help thanks

[WaveCrusher]

I have same problem here lets hope its only a bug
