Is there a place to find all active promo codes for this game? For instance, for Marvel Heroes game, there is hub4heroes, which someone diligently updates with active codes with instructions if needed, or at least a description of how the code was sent or where to look for your own.

I find IGP in general to be far to stingy when it comes to handing out token ethereal stuff for this game in promos, but maybe I am just missing some of them.

There is currently zero active promos.

I got a Day of Free Premium just this past weekend... Does that count?

Aside from an Alienware hanging item, a PC gamer code that got you a pattern and some paint, and some kind of hanging item dice giveaway thing (I forget who offered that one), MWO had mostly done promos based on logging on and/or completing challenges.

Thats really too bad. Not that I dont like the challenges. Maybe IGP should add some smaller temporary boosts to expand on the premium time.... like 6 hour XP or 6 hour C-bill boosts. They could sell them really really cheap for MC, and it would give them something to hand out more often.

Really, Marvel heroes hands out Xp 1 hour boosts etc like candy on halloween, they have events non stop, etc. Of course, the loot system there gives them a bit more freedom, but they dont even hand out loot that often, its more game currency and boosts. IGP should look at Gazzilion's FTP model methinks, in game chat and forums are full of happy customers.

Generally speaking, Promo Codes are intended to be time or quantity limited. Hence why we don't maintain a repository. Sorry!

I understand this, thats why I included the word active in my OP. I enjoy the challenges, the post above me lists off quite a few promo things that were interactive and fun. Some had pretty darn good prizes/gifts(free mechs) for the effort.

I guess I was thinking more like, it would be nice to see some much smaller scale, more frequent little gift things for the community. I certainly dont expect free mech fridays or something, but as i wrote above, somthing like a 6 hour c-bill boost token you could apply in the premium time menu in game(yes it would require new code) would allow for somthing more specific, and less wasteful on time(premium time) for less cost in MC, PLUS it would allow you guys to have candy to throw out to players more often.

Marvel heroes does it, and it must work for them as far as login numbers etc, because they keep doing it, and the player base loves it.

Same here - and I never had a chance at her!

[CycKath]

I can't recall what 'Mech Dawn is in

I really wish there was easier options to either strip on demand or flag where cockpit items are currently residing.

I have an excessive amount of bling, but my primary robot usually has Dawn and the razer gaming dice in it. I have double pairs of the alienware heads, for some magical reason.
