Hey all I am just thinking outloud here, and wanted to get a discussion going.

Based on the following Blog Q&A and Yesterdays Announcement, are there particular

Merc Units,clans,guilds etc you all would like to see House Liao form relations with?

Anyone have any ideas as to how we can start to work on forming these relations?

Lets kick it around and see how creative and productive we can make this, and hopefully

by launch time we will be strides ahead of the pack.

Q. Will you be able to pick what faction you play in MechWarrior® Online™?

A. When you first create your pilot, you are going to have to align yourself with one of the Great Houses in the BattleTech® Universe. Each house will have its benefits and drawbacks and it will be up to you to read up on the house selection menu on which house you will pledge your allegiance.

Q. Will players have the ability to form their own custom clans in MechWarrior® Online™?

A. We're trying to be careful with the naming of some features in MechWarrior® Online™ and "clans" is one of them. Players will be able to form their own customized Mercenary Corporations (Merc Corps for short). These operate in the same way that the term clan refers to in other first person shooters. A better way of thinking about Merc Corps is as a "guild". Within the guild you can create Lances("parties") and join matches in that manner.

Q. Will MechWarrior® Online™ have persistent character content such as leveling or upgrades?

A. Yes. One of the customizations in MechWarrior® Onine™ is to train your pilot to suit your play style. Pilots will bring their efficiencies to whatever BattleMech® they get in.

Q. Will MechWarrior® Online™ have any online persistency?

A. Yes, this is where our plan for the Inner Sphere comes into play. All players in Merc Corps will be fighting for control over various border planets. The state of these planets is persistent.

Night Howlers Merc Corp was first seen in 3046 near the border worlds of CC and FWL, We of course are more interested in fighting with the forces of House Liao then those of Marik.

Hi ya Coffi !!

Thanks for stopping by.

and by all means, once we know somewhat of how MWO will operate, we can talk.

I have played with plenty of GB pilots over the years, in different venues, so I appreciate the opportunity to again work with you guys.

So lets keep communication lines open, and see where MWO takes us all.

Hmmmm, Clan Smoke Jaguar (whatever merc incarnation we go with) is currently stationed within the FRR but any faction that is a problem to the davions or snakes is a friend of ours.

Hi ya Amarus, and thanks for stopping by.

That is the point! =) Taking some combine planets and fed-rat homesteads will be the ultimate reward ! =)

Aw Sir, the respect between our Pilots will pay everything forward. I assume it will be more like, the old days. We all will do just exactly what needs to be done, for everyones success and benefit.

Thats why I am pleased to see, more of our friends and those with Integrity returning once more.

Does that mean you know people without integrity returning? ;P Yes I know thats a loaded question.

Neo...back to your hole, I will not be baited! LOL, ya putz! I am thinking someone needs a spanking again.


and you misread...my post. I have a history with the Grimms! and the Ghost Bears, as well as a few other Merc Units who have yet to check in.

Years of sitting online with these guys, forming lasting friendships and missing their company, makes me reflect. Respect is mutual, given and taken, trustworthy and care free!

I count you as one of those my friend Neo, it will just be nice to get back to gaming, and let the Drama go up in PPC smoke.

I think you know my intended end result here

LOL...Neo, well I am now more mature. I know hard to believe huh?? And I am 21 years older than when I began this gig with Liao as a pup private under the guidance of a great guy called Green Hornet.

Now I am just tuckered out.

This journey to a new Innersphere has wore me out.

The weight at times almost unbearable, but thanks to friends like yourself, I survived and am stronger today because of it.

I am just glad I lasted to see our day of deliverance. >salute< Even if I only get to play 1 day. It will have been worth it.
