Hi, my name is Prosperity Park, and I have been Urbying since only MechWarrior 4: Mercs. I used it as a gag during guild practice games where we stuck to TRO builds, only. I fell in love the first time I one-shotted a Commando in the chest.

I have since become obsessed...

Got mine. When I roll I am dropping on the back of a Crab or some other big mech and becoming a mobile turret of doom :)

When it comes time, please remember that you actually requested PGI take your money for a garbage mech. You know what they say about a fool and his money...

so basically, you are one of those people who only derives joy from the folly of others? Schadenfreude, I believe? You must be a real joy to be around.

Fortunately, most of us on here, requesting it are grown ups with a fair bit of disposable income. And know exactly what we are asking for.

It called a game, because the idea is to have fun. Not to be so buttpuckered that we can squeeze a block of coal into a diamond.

Yup! And....this might be the reason it might have a pretty low engine cap. They have to make up for the slow speed somehow. I just hope the quirks on this little gal are descent. I think she will need it.

As soon as I can get home from work, there will be a collector's edition on it's way to this account, and a standard pack to the alt account and possibly gifting a pack or two to members of my unit who want one but can't afford it.

@Bishop, let's try to put together a stock Urbie Tourney for delivery day. Let me know if you are interested.

Yup.

<------------------- Take a look at those tags. There are more too that aren't shown. I regret none of them, knew what I was buying, no nasty surprises (though I will admit to some pleasant ones).

I'm going to go home tonight and have a few beers while debating the purchase of an Urbie package. Then I'll have a few more and then maybe a few more. That way I'll make a well informed, well thought out decision. No bad decisions have ever been made after drinking, right?

Really Circumvention is just trolling (look at the goofy stuff like the Jersey Shore like statements).

He just wants to get people going for his and everyone's amusement. I think he's funny anyway (especially since he is probably 12 years old and just got home from school).

Funny stuff man :)

You're not really helping your point...

If you said something like, "for a vacation," or towards a bigger, cool purpose, or better yet, "my kid's future," you might have had a point.

I don't feel like I need to say more.

Edit: This guy's account was created last Wednesday, the 14th. I don't think he is worth the time.

Ok, just bought the standard pack, page lists it as "owned" and I got a an email with the receipt. Do I get a code (with an email) to redeem to actally get the mechs in april? Because somewhere along the info I read that, when gifted (only option available for the urbanmech), the reciever must redeem the gift before januray 31 to get the goodies...so must I redeem my "gift to myself"?

Yeah, he's been trolling a couple other Urbie threads too. Been gone for a few now though, maybe he had to go do some common core math homework.... Honestly, who brags about strip clubs besides young kid wannabe's and immature twenty-somethings? I haven't been to one in over a decade, happily married for 15 years now.

*EDIT*




A thought for those on the fence? (because of Speed, Deputy Dawg, reasons, etc)




Why not pre-order the basic package? Why?




If happy, it's done,and the sales goal gets met. Can even easily upgrade if you decide?


​If not? Refund. PGI is good and quick about those. Basically, consider it a $20 placeholder.




Just a thought.

It won't be released until April... I am assuming you will get the code then?

Yeah. Collector's Pack bought and paid for :)
