But I've heard two things of interest. King Crab and something about IGP. If someone could point me to the most relevant data, I'd highly appreciate.

If you need me, I'll be in the corner chanting to myself.

This is the news about PGIs split with IGP
http://mwomercs.com/...ux-infinis-igp/

This is the news announcing bonuses for loyal players in celebration of the 1 year anniversary since launch. One of the rewards is a unique variant of the King Crab (C-Bill and MC versions to be released later)

And now I'm kinda pissed. You only get the king Crab if you bought a top tier deal? **** that. I've given an equal amount of money over the time period that I've played the game.

[Griggio]

Considering that the MC standard variants are being released the same day the Champion version becomes available to top tier purchasers I wouldn't be too upset.

Saves you from dumping all that cash on other mechs just to get the one you really want..

Here's a lazy timeline run down for injection dates on the anniversary stuff:

Sep 23 - Active player reward (100 Matches played) 2 mil C-bills / Free Mechbay / Fun cockpit item
Mad Dog (Vulture) for Top Tier Clan package purchasers

Oct 21 - MC reward (CN9-AH variant with custom paint job 30% C-bill bonus)
Pre-sale purchasers reward (AS7-S with custom paint 30% C-bill bonus)

Nov 4 - Ice Ferret Pre-purchase

Nov 18 - Mist Lynx Pre-purchase

Dec 2 - Hellbringer Pre-purchase

Dec 16 - Top Tier reward (King Crab with custom paint 30% C-bill bonus)
King Crab Standard Variants for MC
Gargoyle Pre-purchase

Jan 20 - King Crab Standard Variants for C-bills


TBD:

AS7-S for C-bills
CN9-AH for C-bills


EDIT: sometimes it helps to see the release timelines

It comes out for MC on the same day that the free one is given out.

I understand that. It's the fact PGI only sees fit to reward people if they bought a specific stupidly overpriced item instead of people who have supported fairly constantly over the years. That's what's pissing me off. I have given them more than 180 dollars over the years and yet that's somhow not worth rewarding. The fact they are offering a variant of my favorite mech with unique geometry make it even worse. **** them and hard.

Considering that I ended up paying roughly $10.00 per mech including the mechbays I hardly consider my choice to get them all at once stupidly overpriced.

I get that you feel slighted and totally understand it from a collectors stand point, but from someone who owns multiple "unique geometry mechs" from the Clan wave 1, I can tell you, you aren't missing a whole lot. Throw in the fact you can't change cammo's on custom painted mechs aside from colors which to me is a major drawback. So really the only thing missing is the C-bill bonus.

You are getting a custom CN9-AH and AS7-S along with the Founder's Mechs C-bill bonus restored back to 30%, so it wasn't like they were totally ignoring your contributions.

Those two are nice and all, but I'd sell every single mech I currently own, both IS and Clan for a King Crab. Getting jipped out any version of my favorite mech just because I didn't buy the right thing pisses me off to no end.

[XtremWarrior]

Well you are going to get it. Just not as a gift, that's all.
So all the " **** PGI because they release the Mech i want but not for free to everyone" is kind of inappropriate.

[Robert blackseven Sohn]

You can buy the top tier Clan wave 2 pack and get the special King Crab. Yes it's pricey, but if you REALLY want the special paint job on the King Crab...

Trust me bud as a die hard clanner if I could give you my King Crab I would. My Champion Cent from the last free mech challenge has never left he garage lol. Not sure how far along the Clan Wave 1 you are but you may look into seeing how much it would cost to just upgrade your existing package considering if you bought A la Carte that dollar amount woould be credited to the purchase price.
