We hit a spike ever since the Beta announcement, and I don't see this stopping anytime soon, especially once the PR machine gets going and major gaming websites start promoting the game with reviews/previews

I have to believe at some point they'll start using the media (in the beta?) and we'll hear a little more because of the NDA for the 'regular' people. Reviews should be good.

sorry if that sounds pessimistic, but XP and $$ bonuses sound like an unbalance to the game right from the start.

I would have paid for the "founder" status and skins. The bonuses are upsetting.

You have to consider that a substantial portion of the player base will be older guys who don't have a lot of time to put into grinding. We are the ones who tend to have money but not time. The bonuses are bribes given to us to financially support the game while partially balancing us against the college kid types who have loads of time to grind and less money to spend.

xp and money dont do jack **** other than unlock mechs and buy more toys faster and say look at me i supported this game. while granted they get that we learn all the dirty little secrets of our mechs and how to take theirs down. let them do that theyll just be the dudes driving the mause for the first time down the middle of a map.

I don't have any autocannons mounted right now, but I do have a pair of gauss rifles just for you. <3

The main appeal of MMO's is wish fulfillment. Your avatar = you, or your dress up doll.

Mechs don't have that, especially the less anthropomorphic ones. Mad Cats would not be popular without arms. They'd just be Catapults.

This game, even if it were a brand new IP, would never appeal to women. With only ~150K registered and the game already in beta phase, what this game needs is to appeal to more and more men who don't know the IP but who do play similar F2P arena combat/FPS games. We don't need people who play Farmville or Angry Birds. We need people who play League of Legends and Team Fortress 2.


There are so many things wrong with this, that I will not bother. Except I just did. Sort of. FYI, I play both League of Legends and TF2.

Oh god, please no. The last thing I need is battletech Allenby.

Huh... I was just thinking "There should be some code to be able to compile the founders statistics"... And then I found this post. Thank you kindly, vigilant OSD Agent. Your services are greatly appreciated!

For the initial batch I went to all their websites and looked at their official roster or estimated based on their unit forum member count. As this becomes more well known, I am having a lot of units submit their corporation numbers to me so we can create an accurate demographic of how the mercenary units are broken down. .
