I think its a cool joke with the Urbie... If they were cooler they would make it for the game. I would buy it (even for real money). I think we need to make that connection clear for PGI: People would buy it, even for real money...

Urbanmech as the next light!
Think on that Urbie hero sales figures!

Appealing to the pocket is it not?
An Urbie in every garage!
MWO bring forth the beloved Urbie!

Selling the UrbanMech would fund PGI for the next few years lol,

While some people post more than others in this thread (*cough*IraqiWalker 96 posts*cough*), there's still 359 unique posters in the thread as of this post.

That's 359 players who, with only a few exceptions, want the UrbanMech to *actually* arrive on the battlefield.

So what are you waiting for PGI?

where do you find the list of who posted how much on a topic again? i used to remember but forgot.

and don;t forget the old polls that had more people than that wanting it as well.

There is a game where you can play an urbie?

You could steal one in Battletech: Crescent Hawk's Inception

Looks like Mechwarrior 4 to me.

I think one could play an urbie in Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries as well.

If it could work in those games, it could work in this one. Let's do this !

Think of the money, PGI.

I will admit that the Urbie is popular, but honestly, unless they jacked the price up specifically for this mech - which would be dumb due to the reaction it would get - they get almost as much money from a player buying a premium color as they would from an Urbanmech...

[Mattiator]

That could be the sales pitch! Buy three paint colors, get an Urbanmech!

That is why you offer the golden one with some perks:

You say that, but the Urbie Hero would be 2250 MC, a regular variant around 900-1200.

So a trio (hero + 2 normal, 3 mechbays) would be around 5200 MC, or around US$20-25.
So if you offer a Hero variant, 2 normal, 3 mechbays, and some extras ( a couple of colours, maybe a camo, badge+title, a week or two of premium time, maybe a cockpit item) and it'll fly.

Throw in a Gold Pack for +US$20 or +US$30, with extra colours, an extra title+badge, extra premium, maybe a golden cockpit item? And that'll fly too.
They'll make loads.

1000-2000 packs would be enough to make a profit over the cost needed to make the pack, not including potential Golds.
350+ people have said they'd buy it here alone.

Go back to the thread list ("Announcements" section), click on the "1,173 replies" text for this thread, and up pops a window with everyone that's replied and how many replies they have.

After that, it's a short copy-paste into a text editor and checking the line count to see how many unique posters there are.

See above, very little actual "counting" took place

Why not make a whole reinforcement pack out of it. Have the Urbie, the Flashman, and the Imp. Call it the 'Humpty Dumpty' pack or something. I don't care if there are enough variants or if they are even the same tech base. Just gimme all the eggy-weggs so I can smash 'em!
