Fixed my post for you :(

You say you're not allowed to stream media, but are you allowed to download it?
If so I can rip the video's and provide you with a download link.



HA! thanks! I can download stuff occasionally. Depends how many people are on the shiesty wifi here. But I'm willing to try if you have the time and energy to do so!

Gotta make a quick run elsewhere though, back in a bit!

There are many reasons but mainly because i dont have to decide which founder mech I choose and because they exploited me being an addicted junky :P

I went legendary because A) I really want to show support for this game, :P Because I get all four mechs and don't have to choose just one, and C) who doesn't want to see their name in the game credits?

I ponied up because I've been a MechWarrior/Battletech fan since I was a kid and MWO looks absolutely amazing. And thankfully I just picked up one of those fancy new Retina MacBook Pros as my new rig to handle what looks like some incredible graphics.

Can't wait.

I love the universe and if my money helps make it better, then that is money well spent for me.

If he wants it NOW, there better be a sweet guitar solo coming up.

or some Oompa Loompas.
Im getting mine at payday, because I have played BT for about 20 years and WoT is no longer flipping my bunny, it was just primitive mechs anyway. Gotta support the cause.

I’m a long term Battletech fan - going back to the 1st edition in the 80 and I still have 99% of the material ever published. Add to that I also, think that games have gone downhill over the past several years as the major publishers have acquired a lot of the little guys. I’ve got countless games I’ve spent $60+ on to play for 1-2 hours.

I viewed my $120 as a chance to contribute towards development of the game and honestly would have contributed more if there was a higher level package. It’s very tough for smaller companies to raise money and most of the games that I have really enjoyed for a long time over the years have been from boutique developers.

I figured I'd pay the price of a retail game these days, and whether or not I ended up liking the game, it was money worth spending..

Gotta agree and probably will kick my own *** for not getting Legendary!

Cause the scratching from the near ten year long withdrawal is leaving welts all over my arms and body.

I'm not ashamed to admit I have been a BT Junkie and MW addict.

I have approximately 3 full reinforced regiment equivalents of figures stashed in my man cave waiting watching until thu te their chance to conquer the world again. In the meantime I am more than happy to ride forth on the computer my Juraian brothers and sisters beside me as we thunder into battle!

Now bring it ON!!!

I don`t like old-fashioned tanks! I like future-stile walking mechs! :P
Aside of a joke - i want this project to start, to be played, to be playable and good. I was waiting this since MW3!

Why did I pay for the Legendary pack?

Because I'm worth it!

Why did you pony up and buy founders?


The package was both worthwhile in its content, provided recognition I saw as valuable, was for a limited time, and listed me as a person who helped MWO get on its feet by providing Founder Capital to the project.

Financially it made sense to me:

My guesstimated Maths:

4 months premium @ $15 a month = $60 + $80 in in-game credit + 4 mechs guesstimating worth at $20* a mech = $80

$60 + $80 + $80 = $220 total guesstimated value in my book.

Not too bad for $120.

*Mech cost guesstimated by looking at STO ship costs (around $25 USD) and WoT vehicles costing from $3 to $50 each in gold.
