... what!?

Why on earth would you keep saving your premium time? In 2012 or 2013, I understand that some Founders saved their premium time because they imagined the real game would start later. But now? In 2015? Why keep saving it? To prove a point?

Because I never bothered to activate it, and I don't feel the game is in a state where I would play it consistently enough to warrant activating it?

*checks profile*

Oh, good lord. I have to start measuring my banked premium time in terms of years.

325 days with 20 days active

I can't believe people are not activating it, waiting for the game to get better because as some mentioned, use it now, in two years time the game might not be here, or it will be much reduced with no more content and any income used to just keep the servers running, until the tickle of money doesn't pay the wages and OFF for good, thats to much money to waste on a what might happen, because after three years surely you must realise, it ain't getting better.

One of the reasons I will probably not bother with any more Resistance packs (nothing clan left I want) is because of the Premium time if I keep buying them, I will never use it up fast enough.

Out of curiosity why do people have these huge amounts of banked premium time, like 1000+ days but you aren't using it?


Was there something early on for founders that gave out a huge amount?


Or are you spending money on packs but then not using the premium time?


I don't get it.

Packs

I used up my founders Premium time (was about 6 months if I remember correctly) between it and Pheonix package was the only time I have had a period with out it.

If you buy top package within the early bonus you will get so much premium time you will never run out.


Its why in the long term Packs are bad news for the game, as there will come a time when people will not want them due to the mech mix, and where people that bought past ones, and want to support the game will simply have to much banked time to bother with spending money for 6-9 months.

Pack seem a great deal, but they are bad for the game long term, so those that are buying packs activate now, and use some of it, or you might have wasted all that cash.

[Mechteric]

30 days.


I'm waiting until they improve the non-premium CBill and XP income issues experienced primarily by light and medium mechs

[Fonzie260]

612 days

[Peter2k]

459 days (11.016 hours)

I'd take a hit of up to 50% on converting those to a premium time that counts only down when I'm logged into the game
sigh

I have known for some time I will be moving. Initially it was a wait for the game to be in a better state, when CW was released. I did activate two thirty day blocks. But I am saving it until I move in a couple of months, when I'll have more time to play.

By then I should have a bit over two years to burn through.

[Typhon27]

210 days in the bank

Just activated a 30 day chunk (24 left), only because the wife was away for 10 days. Just never seemed worth it before, to activate a month at a time.

So yeah Russ, I had 8 months.

[Dr Hobo]

340 days last I checked

Most of it from the packs I have bought and preordered and never used the premium time.

Still have my founders chunk too.

[badaa]

Since you have been a member for three years, I'd say you picked up a freebie or two. I think there were a couple, but memory is fuzzy.

[Ted Wayz]

430-ish days, or more if I have some I haven't activated. As long as a plethora comes with top tier packs and as long as they keep up a steady stream of packs I do not think I will ever run out.

[GI Journalist]

I've resolved to spend my premium time when I get the game I was promised. It isn't there yet.

[Squirg]

None, I am a freeloading pleb.
