How much would you pay per month to play MWO and have unlimited Private Matches? Would you entertain buying multiple months of Private Match access if they offered a price break?

Right now it costs 2500 MC to have a month of Premium Time, so basically $15 a month for a 3000 MC package. However, lots of player here have no real reason to buy MC anymore. We have millions of Cbills, tons of mech bays, and way too much time on our hands. We dont need additional Cbill or XP bonuses.

What Im suggesting is that player could pay a set amount per month to play Private Matches without needing to be on real "Premium Time". This would be very similar to any other pay to play game out there.

I will hold my full thoughts on this for the moment, as I want to see how people vote.

Thoughts or suggestions?

With the release of Launch Module, I wouldn't be surprised if a subscription program was implemented. This is a great suggestion.

Precisely. Id pay $5 a month to setup private matches. I have no interest in buying MC. I have no interest in really buying anymore mechs or bays. What Im interested in, and alot of units are interested in, is just setting up matches and playing.

PGI could make this happen, and actually get the support of the units behind them providing they do it right. This would help bring back some good will from a long ignored portion of the community.

And thats understandable. Ive only got 25 million Cbills saved. You know what? I dont care as its good enough for me.

I think Premium Time for the folks that want the bonuses is still fine. PGI could probably do themselves a favor by offering a month fee for Premium Time and 500 MC stipend for $15 a month for people that still want/need the bonuses.

Edited poll after putting some thought into it.

Edit includes adding an option to just pay a flat MC cost for a Private Match. I think this is another fair way they could allow more private matchmaking for people that dont want to keep Premium Time up.
